Authentic Nautical Accessories, and Custom Furnishings
First, let's get this clear: we are already here. What was left of our ship we cajoled our new servants to bury beneath one of those crazy pyramids. They even decided that we were Gods; what a chuckle. But the chow was good. Worshippers greet a cat-filled Mars lander as it arrives beside the pyramids. …
Now, I'm not being evasive, but it is complex. It may depend on the situation. For instance, there was one I learned in ancient times when I trained to be a medical first responder. The instructor was clear: " Don't become a victim!" He meant that you can't save human lives in a crisis if …
When young, I couldn't afford fancy tours of new places. And the places I needed to find, like lowdown musical venues where I might play in exchange for some coin, were not on those tours. The well-to-do tourist tours were in limos, buses, or chaperoned walking tours. Mine started at the local bus terminal and …
Marcus: Dad was in the living room playing that thing with strings. He was playing some sad song and making noises with the low strings and oohing and ahhhing about a new bass run he'd learned. I didn't see any basses running, and I looked. It might have been fun chasing one. Anyhow, I figured …
Last time the genie prompt rolled around two years ago, this was my take on it. I hope you enjoy it! In popular literature, genies are trouble.

I've made side hustles into main hustles. Woodcarving and videography; currently, I have no active side hustles. At this point, I'm not looking for any more, either. Over the years, I had many. I was the managing editor of a small community newspaper. I wrote the editorial and a feature article or two, but mostly …
It's not nice to tell stories out of school...you know, drop the dirt on the former significant other who ruined your life. It's so much better to be discreet rather than indiscreet. But I woke up this morning with the urge to slander, defame, and abuse one particular person from whom I learned so much …
The grass is always greener somewhere else, I guess. I sometimes think of this when I see a note about someone starting up a new business, and then I think about mine. I started my woodcarving business after years of carving. It was right after the end of my Government job, and I started doing …
During the sixties and seventies, I had lots of friends who generally fit into the category of "Folkie". We spent a lot of time experimenting with alternative lifestyles, attire, music, and food. A certain number followed this experimentation to what they considered to be a logical exit from conventional religion as well. Over the years …
