I hate logging in when I haven’t posted in a while and seeing how the visitor numbers drop off in my absence. Oh man, do I. On the other hand, experience shows that silence is far superior to making something up just to jog the stats. And I have been writing, oh yes. Often in [...]
The first thing was, I tried to cut off my ear. Well, sort of. Don’t try this at home, but if you do trim the hair around your sideburns, be very careful where you put the tip of the scissors. I actually felt the blades cut into my ear and wondered, “What the hell am [...]
Probably the main reason I’ve pimped living in a spider-infested dump with accompanying idiot psychodramas is that it has an amazing mountain view, plus there was a bear in the plum tree a few years back. You gotta love bears. I don’t why everybody doesn’t want one. So the location is fabulous, never mind the [...]
My wife is out of town, I shaved anyway. Settling down to write some new stuff. It’s a beautiful day here in Taos, but watch where you step! (←) If you’re hard up for something to do, these Taos area videos may brighten your day: here, here, and here.

Two or three regular readers certainly do, however, including the man who hired [...]
For those of you who don’t know, Buffalo Lights is a collection of stories and essays about moving to New Mexico. Seeing as how this defied all reason, caused enormous pain, and may yet be the best thing that ever happened to us, the tale is pretty intense.
[Let's try this again, shall we?] I‘ve just made a startling turn in my life. Instead of having my day job of maintaining websites for clients in constant conflict with my own projects—that which may one day bring ease and clarity—I’ve given it two whole days a week, completely free and clear. Real office hours, [...]
Actually, the book is sponsoring a daily free Kindle book alert, a nifty service for Kindle owners by Kindle Nation Daily. But what great coverage, and thank you to Stephen Windwalker for running a quality operation! Yes, this is paid advertising. A very cool email just went out to over 6,000 subscribers to the Kindle [...]
What I’m wondering is, how would you describe yourselves?
