Time for another Roger update. He’s doing well. I think the combination of my leaving him alone, and the early morning sun is just right. The first signs of a couple of blooms were seen this week. Don’t know how visible in this picture, but keep an eye on this spot for future updates. Click [...]

Work In Progress
A new Work in Progress (WIP) has started. I’m excited about this story. It’s fantasy, and we’ll see how that goes. I’m not planning the typical dyed-in-the-wool Tolkien-esk fantasy; this is much smaller in scope. More details as the story develops. 53 chapters outlined. Now it’s just a matter of putting butt in chair and [...]
Very Cool!
I say ‘Cool’ a lot. Reminds me that vocal tics are key character building tools. The voice of a character needs to be consistent. It’s a fun challenge. Personally, I could do without saying cool again. At least for a day or two. But what if something really is cool? What a quandary

Dr Kennedy explains: "Plato’s importance cannot be overstated. He shifted humanity from a warrior society to a wisdom society. Today our heroes are Einstein and Shakespeare — and not [...]
Roger Update
Here’s the weekly Roger update. He’s growing well. Seems the combination of light in my office and my leaving him alone is working well. I’ve read they (African Violets) grow till they start to run out of space, and that’s when they start blooming. That’s usually my indication I need to buy bigger pants. Odd [...]
