This is a note I sent last night to an audience that’s introduced in the note itself. I decided to make it my entry for this morning. Friends, I’d like to invite you, no let me make that “encourage you,” to view tonight’s entry at my personal blog, because I have made an important and [...]
After a long struggle with cancer, Carole left this life last night at 9:45 p.m. EDT. Though I miss her already, I’m glad she has gone through that necessary door and is now past the pain. For those of you who didn’t have the privilege and joy of knowing her personally or of seeing her [...]
Yes, it’s me and I’m back in town … for the moment anyway. The contract I was managing in New Mexico ended on May first and I got back in town on the 15th. I’ve been shuffling the junk around my condo into meaningful groupings in what passes for my idea of a “decorating scheme.” [...]

Today is my pal Paul’s 83rd birthday. I want to wish him a Happy Birthday publicly here on my blog and to say I hope he has many more years of happiness there in his adopted home in Berlin. Our friendship began when we were fellow members of an online writers’ group back in the [...]
