I work from home.  It used to be easy.  Now it is hard.  The people I love are not here and I find that the days are longer without family around.  The person I'm speaking of is my son Declan.  Right now he is away.  I miss how when Dalton is blowing on a whistle Declan will call out from ...   more »

There is a song I played to my son when he was 8 years old and now at 10 he and I still remember what I said when I first played it to him.  I said that it was our song.  With all we had been through, I felt we were walking together through life as ...   more »

Introduction to Paintball

Most beginners play paintball in the woods.  You've been invited to a birthday party or corporate event.  This guide will truly help you, I guarantee it. Here is why. For the past three years I have played at a woods ball field and week after week I help first time players play comfortably, even excel.  I am not a professional, but I play three times a month and I do also play speedball (air bunkers) at other fields, I can and will help you.  Here is how...

Woodsball paintball the Great Equalizer

Before we begin understand that woods ball as it is called is the great equalizer.  You can hang with great players and get away with being a beginner paintballer when playing in the woods.  Why?  Because of the trees, the branches and various unforeseeable objects that get in the way of shots.  In some respects, you have the advantage because a seasoned player can’t play his game in the woods like he can on a speedball field.  This is one reason Speedball paintball players are snobs towards playing in the woods.

This is how its got to be...   more »

Tonight and yesterday evening I spent time working on part two of the Aeroplane City trilogy: DangerMan.  Mostly I focused on cleaning up dialogue.  I've also considered the love affair between Dalton and Araby.  I have been very careful to make Araby a lady.  But behind every lady there should be a flaw.  Some people have drugs, others have wanderlust, ...   more »

Each night we read a bed time story, well most nights. I randomly read a story by Brothers Grimm.  Last night was eerie. My son Declan is sitting next to me and we both became somber as we see the parallel between this particular story and mine own life.  Fortunately my youngest son Dalton just enjoyed the story.  But wow how art ...   more »

So this is how it starts again,

Right past the tentative

Just past the refrain

Yet pass me by you won’t see me again

Chances.  They trifle, trifle by,

Sing to the greeting stop with a sigh

Can’t ever be sure

Lexicon of sighs

Resort to a look

Straight through the Eyes

Gone gone

Gone away...   more »
