It started out simply enough. I had just moved to Texas and needed a cheap way to stay in contact with all my friends and family in Ohio.
So I joined Myspace. And it was the most wicked awesome thing ever for a rehabilited techno-phobe such as myself. I could leave funny messages! And post...

As I work on my book proposal I am trying something that worked for a previously published book, an expanded outline.
Instead of just the streamlined A., B., C. listing, under each major heading I am adding an excerpt from that chapter to give the agent reading it an idea of my writing style and...

Just trying to enlist the readers here in my search for my missing dog. She is a German Shepherd/Greyhound/Chihuahua mix. She is shaved(she calls it "trimmed"). She is fast and a bit bashful, particularly around police cars. The last time I saw her was on my way from Austin to Seadrift...

This is an open challenge, one I also send to the "Letters to the Editor" segment of the Advocate. It is directed to the Advocate, to Kay Bailey Hutchinson, to the lady named Kathy Autry, and to all the supposed proponents of bringing nuclear reactors, in situ uranium mining, and...

It's about 2 1/2 more months before the general election, and I have yet to see an ad where the Independents can make a clear choice between John McCain and Barack Obama. What's the message so far? John McCain has an ad painting Obama as a celebrity, like Paris Hilton. Obama...
