I just finished reading the original/uncut version of STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND by Robert A. Heinlein. Like most times when I read something, I get all excited by it and then in the end, it’s just over. The book wrapped its self up neatly and closed.

Oh, boy. What have I gotten myself into? Well, if you haven’t read it yet, start by reading What is the Grok Project? The basic concept for this project has been lurking in my mind for years, popping up here and there in various forms… I could write a book? Teach a class? Start a business? But it wa ...

The main premise of the book is that there is a human man, Valentine Michael Smith (“Mike”), who ends up on Mar ...

Characters in good fiction are often very interesting creatures: with one turn of phrase a man could be a hero or villain, a little splash of guilt to the side and that person can simply be a martyr, another can be ideologically vacant or someone for us to aspire to be. Okay, I’m somewhat preaching ...

Sometimes it just happens and something articulates for you. And in this case the AFTERLIFE. This has something to do with the story of a human raised as a Martian who returns to Earth, together with the blackhole theory. Thank you to Robert Heinlein for ‘Stranger in a Strange Land’. And Stephen Haw ...

I’m doing something different for this post. Since for far too long I’ve stayed away from taking photos that someone wasn’t paying me to take I’m sharing a new photo album (follow the link to view photos) rather than an article on something that matters to me.

I would love to say that I've been an absentee landlord of these here parts because I've been on a fulfilling spiritual quest; seduced by a winsome nerd girl; or plotting how to spend my recent Mega Millions win (first on the agenda: "endow" a salary f ...

I’M NOT HOME I wanted to start this post by saying I’M HOME… After 4 days in the hospital, it was nice to find my way back to 12710 Hwy. 69N.
