Over the Thanksgiving weekend, I helped a friend with a Win 7 computer issues. The first was that Windows Update had downloaded several updates that failed to install. The second was that the computer couldn’t connect to internet via a new high-speed cable installation. I’ve known about the Windows Update issue for some time, but … Read more
I recently visited the Air and Space Museum at Dulles Airport. I try to visit every year or two. It’s my favorite museum because of the content for sure and because it’s convenient. For me, it’s about a 15 or 20-minute drive with plenty of signage, so you can’t get lost. This trip, I was … Read more
Okay, it’s time that I take a crack at an elevator pitch for my novel, Shifting Mars’ Sands. In an earlier post, I explained the purpose of an elevator pitch and highlighted the major points of my novel. There are two additional points that I have to keep in mind.

My brother-in-law created a game Bluetooth or Crazy. It’s simply to play. Whenever you see someone “talking to himself,” decide if he’s talking on a Bluetooth device, probably attached his ear, or simply talking to himself. It’s more fun if the subject is gesturing.

My how times have changed. In the old days, I could pick up a candy bar with spare pocket change. Now, with … Read more
This is Brightspot caught in the act, trying to open the cupboard doors to steal treats. He doesn’t care if he gets dogs treats or his own. We’d heard suspicious sounds of the cupboard beforehand, which is why the wooden spoon in the door handles. One time, we forgot the wooden spoon and he pulled … Read more
Lately, I’ve been thinking about an elevator pitch for my novel, Shifting Mars’ Sands. For those reading unfamiliar with the term “elevator pitch,” it is a compelling summary of your novel that you can give in the span of an elevator ride. Compelling is the key word. The idea is to pitch your story to … Read more
Recently, I was watching Top Gear on BBC America where they featured a car from Keonigsegg. Please click the link. The cars are awesome in the very expensive (cost of a house) and impractical way. I doubt that I could get the car in third gear giving the speed limit and traffic. That assumes that … Read more
