This is Not How You Do Service
Well, it’s tomorrow and I’m not happy. Last fall I took my car in for a routine oil change, and I was told that two clips holding the skid plate of my Honda Fit were missing and need to be replaced. They were out of the part that day but could order it for me…
Through the Door
Ever experienced a moment when you’re so excited and looking forward to an event, but in the back of your head you know that if this one thing happens it might ruin your enjoyment or ability to participate? I hit that occurrence on April 5th. Or more specifically my car was hit.
Robots and Dreaming
Robots graced the cover and the stage at this years Writers and Illustrators of the Future Awards Event on April 5, 2019. Okay, and the red carpet as well.

Dragon Scales
April is National Poetry Month! I love poetry and want to celebrate the month so I'll be posting a poem on my blog at least once a week this month and perhaps beyond. This week's entry is called “Dragon Scales.” What are they worth to you?
Gift to the Depths
