What a day! Good, bad and indifferent … but definitely busy. Alex and I went to the eye doctor. I was out of contact lenses and he needed an exam. I asked for a different kind of lens because one eye was feeling really dry by the end of every day. But these new lenses are…

Local radio station KRXO does a show called “Classic Nine at 9” every morning. Today they are playing the rock hits of 1982 … and I remember every one of them from high school. In most cases I owned the cassette the songs were on. Foreigner’s “Juke Box Hero” just went off. Earlier we had…

Nothing much to say. It was a busy day. Damn unemployment office and their stupid required sessions. Anyway, I did schedule two job interviews today, one on Friday and one next Wednesday. Alex’s football team won their bowl game tonight. That was very cool. There was a very happy group of boys when the final…

I swear my youngest daughter is just a tapeworm with huge gray eyes and the sweetest smile ever. Sounds great, unless you’re trying to work and are constantly interrupted by “Daddy, can I have…

It’s here! The Halloween issue of The Oklahoma Gazette, featuring me and Craig Wolf, is on the stands now. Check out Kirk Alberts’ incredible cover art! Damn! That man is talented. You can read several paragraphs from the opening of the story by clicking here. Unfortunately, I haven’t laid my hands on a print copy yet,…

From the most ancient of times mankind has built humanoid figures, imagined personalities for them … and come to fear them. What if the statue of Zeus stepped off the dais? What if the child’s doll sat up from the floor where it was discarded? What if the scarecrow jumped off its cross and shuffled…
