The iCloud rained on my parade, today. Well, not really, but I set out to understand it and did get my desktop PC set-up to do iCloud stuff…I think. The concept is sort of cool. One has a magical sever somewhere in the land of Apple and can keep their photos and videos there for [ READ MORE ]
Franz Kafka writes in a way that is bizarre and disturbing. It isn't the sort of thing I'm naturally drawn to, and yet, when I crack open one of his stories, I'm never left wanting. His writing is elegant and reminds me of a Gustav Klimt painting.Â[ READ MORE ]
I love the PWN (Post-Work Nap). Tonight's version of Slumbermania ended when the machine gun hail started pounding Martelle. It was really loud and quite determined to get me out of bed to write my blog. Who knew that Mother Nature was a reader[ READ MORE ]
Muscatine rocks! Roy and I had a signing there today and it went really well. It was at a basketball tournament and Devyn Marble came with his father. People were very excited to see him. I hadn't met Devyn before and he is just as friendly as[ READ MORE ]

We did our first signing in the Des Moines area, today. It was part of a live feed from Trophy’s Bar and the guys from KXNO were awesome. Roy did two bits, the first with Jon Miller of HawkeyeNation, fame, and sure enough people heard the show[ READ MORE ]

I drove from my house to my parent's, today. I love the drive, because it gives me time to think. Normally, I would think about Henry Wood. Today, I had a sliver of a thought and I couldn't shake it. It started to fester and before I knew it[ READ MORE ]
