Now, I’m not suggesting that anyone flash Helena Hann-Basquait in person, but… Continue Reading “Expose Yourself to the Memoirs of a Dilettante”
Thank you for stopping by. I have been telling you for a couple of weeks the day would come when I would post a couple of rough-draft cover options for my book. Well today, in the presence of God and all who surf the… Continue Reading “Judge a Book by Its Cover”

The school Superintendent has issued a lock-down, a SWAT Team is… Continue Reading “It’s Break Time!”
