Balmy nights, pleasant days.
Well…almost…if you squint a bit.
Spring is here…or so close by as to make no difference.
And those nights…those nights are just plain magic…and the thunderstorms…they hunt me yet again.
Or maybe it’s the other way around.
And I ride.
The worries left behind. The stress scattered to the winds.
Blood, bone, muscle, and steel once again [...]

Meatloaf…says it all for us…
[Boy:]
I can’t forget the feeling of your sweat upon my skin
And the trembling of your body on the day you let me in
That happens once, only once, in a lifetime
[Girl:]
On a summer night’s surrender with nothing to lose
You were scared and so was I when I gave myself to you
It [...]

No work for me this weekend. Resting. Processing. Recuperating. Recharging.
I putter. Watching some TV. Listening to music. Reading. Writing. Plotting my next project.
Sunday I manage a nap…and for the first time in days, my dreams don’t wake me in a cold sweat, yelling for people to get down…to run…to get away from the laughing drug [...]

I started this week as a juror on what seemed a fairly mundane case.

And then the [...]

A day that will live in infamy…
A somber reminder of a turbulent era.
Y’all be safe.

A project that’s related to the Old Vic project that’s not quite on topic but since it’s a project and I tinker on it and this one will definitely be related to the other one…
There’s a tower ya see. (shrugs) What was I supposed to do?
So, ya’ll (technical Texas term) may know I own [...]

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It’s the transition that’s

No good every comes from a midnight phone call.
Jerked out of a sound sleep, I rolled over and clawed for the phone.
Bad news, no doubt. Even the wife knows it…in her sleep she mumbled, “That can’t be good.”
Work needing help? A wrong number? A friend in trouble? Somebody injured…or worse? All of those flashed through [...]

Ravens…true ravens, are quite rare here. We have the magpies in plenty…crows for short (even though a raven is a crow), and there are some really big ones of the magpie variety…this is Texas afterall…but there is no question when you are looking at a raven.
Very, very rare here.
But there are a few. Ravens that [...]
