Had a few changes to the old FTP server. So this isn’t really that much of a blog. This really is more like a test to see if my web publishing is taking care of business so to speak. Man, I really need to make some changes to my template.… Read More »Sort of a Test

Niece

My niece Elainie wrote this poem and it won a prize: MASK   She was just there. Not knowing what was going on. She walked into the room and everyone was smiling. Or so it looked like it. Everyone looked like they were having a good time. The smiles, laughter,… Read More »Niece

A First Endorsement

I wish to begin with a quote by Henry Ward Beecher: The overweening self respect of conceited men relieves others from the duty of respecting them at all.

So I’ve been going through some old files lately and I stumbled upon a short story that I never finished. I don’t know if I hate it or love it, but I am tempted to complete it. Here it is: Ercamus the Warrior King Turns 30 Ercamus had traveled long… Read More »An Old Story

Breaking Some Earth

I’ve been thinking about a place to put some of my more private images. There is good news. I have officially broken ground on a new section of the website. It will be called “The Fan Club”, but I have zero delusions that there are any actual fans out there.… Read More »Breaking Some Earth
