Funny How A Song
Wrote this a couple Christmases ago. I pray we all find a moment’s respite, the sort only Christmas can bring. Blessings Funny How A Song.

Banish me to a dark corner, chain me to a keyboard, and I will gladly be a word slave. I'd sit there all day, with only an occasional demand for a coffee break.
I'm a would-be (wanna be) author, middle aged, fairly repressed, but extremely BLESSED with an amazing wife and two brilliant boys.
For several years, I've been haunted by images of the starving, drug addicted, victimized teens of the streets. I write about them a lot.
Faces In The Sea #2 – Deano the Good Guy
Friday it rained in Pioneer Park. But that’s sort of like saying that Nicolas Cage starred in a new crappy movie on Friday. Late November afternoons in the Pacific Northwest are the epitome of grey and drizzle, so Friday was common in that way, but it was uncommon […]
Faces In The Sea #1 – Neil the Preacher
Neil calls himself a preacher – a preacher of the gospel, he says, but he’s unlike any preacher I ever met. I stumbled upon Neil sitting in a little shop with no name, a tiny storefront nestled in the huge drag of Pacific Avenue in Tacoma’s downtown. The […]
Dickens Legacy
Last night, I had an encounter more glorious than I’ve had in months. My wife and I resurrected a bit of our past, beckoned the part of our lives when time and energy were not in so meager supply, and attended a spectacular dramatic rendition of Charles Dickens’ […]
Now All Was Ceased
Make the whole world stop for awhile. It was all he’d wanted to do. But the world is stubbornly motivated to remain in motion – this portion of it frantically so; to halt this clamorous juggernaut required an act that was shocking in conception and much more in […]
Isolation – Disease of the Modern Man (A Movember Post)
The best thing about blogging on WordPress is the opportunity it brings to interact with people of different sorts – different regions, different backgrounds, different philosophies, different behaviors; it’s rare that I bump into a person who is a whole lot like myself. Different as we are, we […]
Unlikely Explanations and Kudos to Weebs
This past weekend, I had a chance to catch up with a close friend of mine, and he brought up the recent fiction series I just wrapped up on this blog. He told me how much he enjoyed it and was wondering what in the world it was […]
Unlike Our Waking Lives – The Final
The mention of that name, “The UnBe”, took capture my meager concentration; I felt much like a freeway rubbernecker, casting glare upon the scene of a wreck I instinctually knew was rife with carnage and loss, but my nature would not allow me to look away. I didn’t […]
Unlike Our Waking Lives – Part 8
A common characteristic of walled fortresses, even those made of cardboard, is that by nature, they betray to potential intruders that there are important things behind those walls. Defenses are set up for a reason. No one builds a castle with gates of iron, then seeks refuge on […]
A Little Song, A Little Dance
Me and my boys, having emerged from our 2012 corn maze adventure. Time to complete: 24 minutes I’ve been terribly remiss the past couple months. Several of you secret agents on WordPressdom have given me love in the form of illusory awards, and I’ve failed to give them […]
