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.

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.

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

I doubt that I could get the car in third gear giving the speed limit and traffic. That assumes that … Read more
This is an example of how to turn a 15-minute job into an hour. I just started mowing the yard. The mower sounded like it wasn’t running a fast as it normally does. Then it cuts out. The pull chord is stuck in place. I checked the gas and there was enough. The thought struck … Read more
