I am slow to evolve‚ although I consider myself progressive. Tooling through the Northern Nevada desert, I am riding an anxiety highway that ebbs and pulls off like the tide. Two weeks ago I worked an entire day at a job I love (loved?); at 4pm, I was fired. Sure people lose jobs all of the...

I never win anything; if I’d bet on the tortoise, the hare would have won. People hate to go to the race track with me. When I place a bet on a sure-fire winner, guaranteed to pay off, the horse comes up lame in the stretch.When I go to Vegas, I take in all the shows, because there’s this cloud...

I have been very busy lately trying to finish my current novel, Restored Hope. It is all about finding true happiness when you have given up on it. When the fates have stepped in and made life wonderful. Wouldn't it be great if we were all the characters we created in our books?

In my short life, I have somehow manage to figure out that life is comprised of two elements: Consequence and Fate.
