Quite appropriately, Saturday has rolled around again. I mowed the backyard as well as the front this week. Front yard mowing kept it in check. The backyard? Well, small dachshunds were beginning to disappear. I had to put a stop to that. Poor Notre Dame embarrassed itself again today on … Continue reading →

When you’re talking terrorism and why people do things, that amounts to built-in conflict. Twilight is my cyber-terror novel that needs … Continue reading →
