Photo courtesy of Kent Hammit…the guy the took the best photo of me…ever. As you can imagine, Parker has his own way of looking at the world. He’s fairly strong-willed and he’s pretty damned clear about the way he wants the world to go. This is entirely my doing. I raised the little sucker to [...]

I don’t know what’s worse, having other people underestimate you or underestimating yourself. Both kind of blow. Sometimes you underestimate yourself, yet you find that you could indeed do whatever it was that you didn’t think you could do. That’s very uplifting and a hell of a confidence builder. Having had other people underestimate your [...]
Making Money Not Having to Lift Things

You know, you’d think writing would be a pretty cushy job. Not unlike looking at having parrots from the “non-parrot” perspective, that is people who never had a parrot will look at having a parrot in your life and think it would be easy. People who look at writing and don’t do it on a [...]

A decorative pillow I made for last year’s live auction. I have feathers floating through the air of my home, my living room looks like the day after Black Friday at Filene’s Basement and my neck has a cramp in it. This is how some of your feathers typically arrive. I have to sort this [...]

Why am I such a freak about diet? Well, let me explain something. You can take your bird to the Vet 90 times a year, but until you make sure their diet is healthy, no Vet is going to be able to do a thing. And it always comes down to the same thing, doesn’t [...]

See? I have the official “Writer’s Shirt” and everything! Being a writer is not all skittles and beer. And not all of it involves sitting under an oak tree with a lovely Moleskine Journal and a fountain pen waxing poetic about the meaning of life. At least not for me. This website has Moleskine Journals: [...]

I haven’t been posting at all in the last couple of weeks due to some mitigating circumstances. Let’s see: annual training in Dallas so I get to keep my job, a work schedule from hell, laptop computer issues, just all kinds of stuff kept cropping up that prevented me from sitting down and cranking out [...]

Well, you’re here. If you were in my actual home, you’d grab a Grey, a beer and put up your feet. But while you’re digitally here, let’s take a moment to see where you are. Of course you know I’m a writer. But did you know I also happen to have an issue with helpful [...]

See image source here: Island Crisis One of the things you must deal with when you have a blog is Spam. In my case it’s pretty clear cut. Word Press, the platform on which I produce my blog has this handy little program named Askimet that filters out what it believes are crap comments that [...]
