In the interest of trying to kick-start another round of writing, I’m going to throw some random content on here… This is a silly piece I wrote to perform for a Theatre Smash (look them up!) fundraiser with a Wild West theme… Presented here in three tantalizing parts… Part 3 – The Reckoning On Sunday, [...]

Last week, when I was in the hospital awaiting diagnosis for the aforementioned meeting of my mind with a concrete wall, there was a lot of time to kill. My wife was super sweet and offered to read to me, which I readily accepted. I found it soothing and although it was tough to maintain [...]

But it got me to wondering: After six [...]
