I had my first typewriter at five years old. I have been writing ever since. All the words on this blog are true, in one way or another. All of the art is as well. Thanks for visiting, and I hope you enjoy your stay.

Just a quick note to say that you are allowed to overnight chicks and ducklings through the mail in order to ship them from hatcheries to buyers, but when your “overnight” turns into “four days later,” you end up with a box of dead...
Apparently a Federal Court has said that it’s now okay for people to bring guns into the post office as long as they are “law-abiding citizens.” As a postal worker, this makes me feel [sarcasm] SO MUCH SAFER [end sarcasm]. (Actually,...
If my grandmother were still alive, today would be her 100th birthday (or possibly her 101st; she was 95 when she died, but she insisted that she was 96, so who can say for sure). When I was a boy, I would spend most of my summers with...

After having lived here for a few years now, I can safely say that there are two speeds at which everyone in rural Maine drives: either twenty miles per hour over the posted speed limit, or twenty miles per hour under. Here where we...
Spent my down time at work today elbows deep in the files for my book in eternal progress. There are things in my notes that I’ve both completely forgotten about and that I’ve completely forgotten what I was going to do with. Happily I...
… here’s a bit from a series of images I’m working on. (By the way, nothing I post here, words or pictures, uses AI. It’s strictly good old fashioned fucking around.) Send me an email Latest 3 posts 24 Aug, 2026 In Lieu of an Actual...
Spent the day working on some art for the first time in a few weeks, so that was a nice way to fill the day. This image below isn’t from anything I did today, but is an older one that I’m still happy with. Hope everyone’s weekend is...
I am only affiliated with an American political party (Democratic) so that I can vote in primaries. That’s it. Otherwise, I just stay firmly in the Independent category, because I’m not really a fan of politicians in general. Even the...
I’m going back and rereading my novel-in-eternal-progress, and… … it’s not terrible! Hooray! Maybe 2027 will be the year I finally finish the fucking thing. I’ve only been working on it for a decade now. Speedy, I am not, at least with...
Just thinking, as one does, about the first and original Godzilla film (the original Japanese title being Gojira), released in 1954 as an allegory for the nuclear holocausts of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and how every adult actor in that...
I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep up the Blaugust momentum, but yesterday I just didn’t have the oomph to get anything done on the blogging front. It was a busy day at work, and after coming home and having some dinner, I just wanted to...
Happy Elvis is Dead Day to those who celebrate! (Died on August 16, 1977. You have a year to plan ahead for the big five-oh anniversary next year!) Send me an email Latest 3 posts 16 Aug, 2026 The King is Dead 15 Aug, 2026 Two Day...
It’s been a long time since we’ve taken a road trip, and even longer since we’ve been able to spend the night away from home (you try doing that with a dog, two cats, and fifteen chickens). We figured some day we’d be able to do it...
I’ve been revisiting some old archives in my writing folders, because to be honest, I’ve forgotten a lot of what’s in them. I’d say these particular folders go back about fifteen years, and friends, that’s a lot of writing just sitting...
