This is a test of the Wannabe Broadcast System
Back when Kris and I were in Quattro University, we did a 100-Day challenge where for 100 days we would put up a video on our website. That was a fun time, trying to come up with something every day. My favorite part was editing the videos. Video editing were […]

The Birds and the Bugs
It was a quiet weekend. With the exception of a Zoom critique group meeting, I was pretty free, so we decided to do a little nature walking. We’ve been seeing dragonflies around, so on Saturday, we went to our favorite Dragonfly pond at the California State University in Northridge, CSUN. […]

It’s been a week since the L.A. Times Festival of Books, and I’m recovered enough to write about it. Actually, it wasn’t that bad. The LATFoB had been canceled for the past two years because of Covid. This first year back there was about 75% of the crowd of the […]

I’m Special – And Now I Have Scientific Proof
It’s been a while since I gave blood. Thanksgiving weekend to be precise. I was going to give in January, but then, well, Covid. I am O Negative, the universal donor. I am also CMV Negative. CMV is a bacterium that is harmless in adults, but it can kill infants. […]

My Leafy Babies!
Back in May of last year, I had some disappointing jalapenos. First, we went to Topper’s Pizza (my favorite pizza place) and ordered a pizza with jalapenos on it. The jalapenos were disappointingly not hot. Then I made a plate of nachos at home and added jalapenos to my […]
