Late Bird

Some comments were made by a few “admirers” in the past week. I have to paraphrase because my brain refuses to spell words incorrectly while also ignoring spell check. It is a certain kind of “special” to whom much is given and yet nothing is returned. “You be preaching lies” […]

Whispered, as though a secret, a phrase crossed my path today. “Imagine a place where anything is possible”. I just smiled. Imagination not required. There is such a place. A dream made possible, by the gift of free will from above, and a legacy of freedom within. Where fierce individualism […]

Barack Obama believes in a “fair” society. In purporting his belief he “balances” out ISIS (or ISIL…he always has to be different) with the “Christian Crusades”. Wow and wow. That’s quite a distance (centuries)  to travel in the justification of behavior. I’m not going to challenge whether his statement is […]

Many years ago, in my days as a Sheriff’s Deputy, I was doing a jail check when an inmate decided to offer his unsolicited opinion about yours truly.  I stopped and laughed.  “You’re in here for selling drugs to kids.  I could care less what you think.”  He offered a […]

I make sure when I write to always use facts. Things that are easy to prove and readily accessible to all Americans who are willing to do their homework. Common sense guides me this way. I want to make sure I present factual information. Of course it is nice when […]

Incredulously there appears to be Americans who still believe the current resident in the White House. Bush was a “liar” but Obama hasn’t a “smidgen” of corruption surrounding him. Astonishing. It’s almost as if the famous line “you can’t handle the truth” is correct. Let us take a few moments […]

Over the last month a friend of mine, Matt Branson, has been reading the first half of Late Bird to his children. He sends me comments about how much they are enjoying the story. Last night he recorded his reading to them and sent me little snippets. I’ve lost track […]

If we live enough years and have enough experiences we are bound to hear just about everything.  Right, wrong, fact, or fiction, eventually “everything” comes into play.  A few days ago a Democratic Senator chimed in with an amazing statement. “The White House talking points on Iran are straight out […]

I’ve received many questions about Late Bird. “I know it’s a novel but is this you?” Yes. It is based on my life. Because it ends in 2016 I couldn’t call it an auto-biography or a memoir. For those of you who’ve read it, you are now part of the […]

A few years ago I listened to an individual try to explain why some Americans don’t hate Communism and Communist propaganda as much as they do Nazism or Fascism. His view was the media during World War II covered the atrocities done by Hitler, and the world was given the […]
