I’ve just completed about a month on Periscope, and I wanted to share some observations and results with you. I originally heard about Periscope for business through Kristian Cotta and Jeremy Montoya down at the monthly business education presentation at the Scottsdale Civic Center Library. It took me a while… Continue reading
Starting off the new year, the wife and I began watching in order all the best picture Oscar-winning films. We start with the 1927 film Wings, the only silent film ever to win best picture. The film Wings stars Charles Rogers and Richard Arlen as two guys in love with… Continue reading
As I sit here in mid-November eating clearance Halloween candy, it occurs to me how much fun-sized waste is generated on that holiday kids love. Think about how much packaging comes in any bag of Halloween candy. Each piece must be individually wrapped for the safety of the children. The… Continue reading
National Novel Writing Month is always held in November. The goal is to write 50,000 words in 30 days. For the new author, it’s a daunting task. 50,000 words looks like Everest to somebody who has never put that many words together. It is, however, a very achievable goal. 50,000… Continue reading

One thing that I like about writing SF/F is the research necessary to get the details right. As it turns out, Windows 10 has the useful capability to keep several desktops separate. That means I can keep more than one project open and not clutter the space with unrelated browser… Continue reading
Last time, I talked a little about how my family had been involved with scouting and Camp Long Lake for nearly three quarters of a century. (You can find that installment here.) I’d like to continue with that discussion today. My father worked on camp staff in the late 1950s,… Continue reading
My family has been involved in scouting since probably the late 1940s. My grandfather was a neighborhood commissioner, the equivalent to today’s unit commissioner. My father was a scout, I was a scout, and my son was a scout. I have a lot to say about the scouting program and… Continue reading
