What makes this a Christmas card (other than Jesus being the reason for the season)? That shadow on the nearby roof looks like Santa’s sleigh pulled by a team of reindeer! He must be getting some last-minute gift shopping done.

A couple of years ago, he was going nowhere in the Northwest, busing tables at Seattle seafood restaurants, searching for salvation. Then perhaps he had a personal epiphany, because suddenly he was teaching English at a university in China. It was George who, after covering … (read more)

I’m quite fond of Skywalker: Undercover, Skywalker: Undercover II, The Falcon & the Charlieman, and Mosquito Christmas. While I’ve been joyously retired from professional video editing for the last four years, I was willing to endure the nonlinear editing … (read more)

Julie My Love hates spiders. She would just as soon crush one with the heel of a shoe than remain within its lurking presence. I can’t abide by that, and so we have agreed that if she should find one within our home, I will remove it - alive and intact - to the outdoors. But I was not … (read more)

I am no longer my own worst critic. Friend Jeremy has usurped that title. He’s regularly ready with some new slight of my site whenever we meet. Preferring the high road, I applaud Jeremy on his most recent posting to his infrequently updated & generically templated blog, One Year Later…
