Yo, Top Gun! The two greatest purchases we've ever made were 1) the soda stream and 2) this adjusted wheelchair that supports both Suji's front and rear legs, allowing her to amble around, get in some exercise and, in the process, hopefully, rebuild those weakened muscles. She remains wobbly on her feet, incapable of standing…

March 11, 2022: The weekend is upon us!
Alas, no. We didn't get a new pug. Although you'd be excused for assuming this if you follow me on instagram and happened to see this picture pop up on my IG story without comment. The little gal, Bubby, belongs to one of our neighbors. I snapped a couple of photos of Akemi - and,…
March 10, 2022: This and That!
Just got off a great call with a genre-savvy exec who likes the type of sci-fi I love to write - high concept, character-driven action-adventure with a sense of humor. Although he's familiar with my work from the Stargate days - and instead of making him read a script - I directed him to episodes…

Six more new and upcoming titles for your consideration... Devil House by John Darnielle Gage Chandler is descended from kings. That's what his mother always told him.

March 6, 2022: Suji Sunday!
Hanging out with her old friend, Totoro. Taking the new wheels out for a spin. Couch tough. The new wheelchair supports her front legs as well as her hindquarters.

My Top 10 Favorite Youtube Finance and Investment Channels!
I used to know next to nothing about the stock market. The very idea of taking the time to study its unfathomable vagaries would set me on edge. I put my faith in a financial advisor to - well, to be honest - not necessarily make me money but simply ensure I didn't lose the…

March 1, 2022: Whoa. Almost forgot. Again.
This is the second day in about a week I've almost forgotten to blog. I mean, it wouldn't be the end of the world if I did - but it would be the end of my daily blogging streak that started way back in November of 2007. So in the interest of not breaking with…
