Bio
Writing has become more important as I live with cancer. It's a therapy, it's an escape, and it's a way to do something lasting that hopefully leaves an impression.

Chocolate Cake, A Boxcutter, and Murder
I love Amsterdam this time of year. So, when I was asked by the director to take a trip to Amsterdam and clean up a mess, all I asked him was when do I leave? Tomorrow morning, he answered me without missing a beat. I had been booked on a flight out of Laguardia.

At World End
Morning came faster than I thought it would and Johnny was starting to wake up after sleeping in a bed for the first time in two years. I couldn't go anywhere without the pooch, not even to the lavatory. As I stood there, half-awake, trying to relieve myself for the first time today, Johnny stood watching me carefully. I could tell that he was in a hurry to go for a walk, and probably do the same thing. After I finished, tucking myself back in the khaki pants I found in the closet when I got out of bed, I tapped my thigh, motioning for my trusted pal to follow.

After The Asteroid Struck Earth
Every story starts somewhere in time, and for me, this story started in the year 1997, with a story I found somewhat implausible. The asteroid was nearly thirty years away. Named 1997-XF11, it was going to be the biggest threat to the earth at just five thousand miles distance when it eventually flew through our part of the galaxy. N.A.S.A, however, disagreed in rapid time, calling the findings of the original team off by as much as 290,000 miles. Two years by a group of scientists recruited and paid for by billionaire investors or two weeks by a group of government scientists, whose findings can be classified by the bureaucrats. Which would you believe?

Who Was The First Black Superhero In Film
Nobody will ever, and I mean ever, forget the mega-hit, blockbuster success, that was Black Panther. Perhaps it was the timing of the movie, the already storied success of anything with the name Marvel, or some other lame excuse that people have come up with for its stellar performance, and its place in the "billion-dollar club" of movies. Excuses like that are crimes because what Ryan Coogler (director) and Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther/T'Challa) did together was one of the most memorable superhero movies of the entire genre.

The Hearts Call-Chapter 3
Winds whipped loose dirt and ash around outside of a cave as Lizzy tossed and turned in her sleeping bag. Her face was dirty from days of being on the run without finding anywhere to get more water or clean up. A howl in the distance stirred her, causing her to open her eyes and look around. This was the hardest part of the day since the crash, waking up to find it was all real. It reminded her that her grandfather was gone, much like her father. If she couldn't find a way out of the hot zone and back to San Diego, Lizzy was all alone.

Never Fitting In At Work. Top Story - June 2021.
To begin with, I never really felt like I fit in anywhere. Perhaps there are reasons for those feelings that I should have tried to address much, much earlier in life. However, hindsight being 20/20 doesn't do anything for the future, or even the now. Rejects, misfits, renegades, rogues, and loners. That's where I always felt I was in the social constructs of society.
