Bits and Pieces

Latest addition to the liquor cabinet: a Single Malt Welsh Whisky: Penderyn - Aur Cymru (Welsh Gold).   Penderyn, the first single malt distillery in Wales since the 19th century, produces one cask a day (reputedly the smallest distillery in the world); then the balance of available alcohol is diverted to other products: Five Vodka, Brecon Gin, and Merlyn Welsh Cream Liqueur.   Tuesday, next week, I will be 64 years old; I become Medicare eligible, unless the Republicans in Congress extend t

Fair week is finally over!

Phew Fair is over for the year. Its been a long week with little time to write, unfortunately, but now my summer is finally winding back down to normal. Got to teach my daughter to make Jam (she did strawberry, raspberry, blueberry) for her fair entry as well as watch her show her first cow. Was so proud of the way she handled Buttercup, her 8 month old calf, in the bucket/bottle calf show.   My son got selected to go to state again this year (second year in a row) for a photo he’d taken durin

'Style' by Charles Bukowski

As I type this, I hear the following passing conversation outside on the street below- girl: "Do you have a gaydar?" guy: "I usually do but it doesn't really work around here because this place has many weird people..."   What a wonderful, cool, interesting couple.     -----------------------------------------------     I somewhat have negative thoughts about people who reblog others' established works, only because of the motive behind the reblogger. Unfortunately, I am a victim of th

Step Up

I am passionate about anything Book. Writing. Editing. Collecting. Selling. Being the owner of a mobile book store, I travel a lot over weekends and meet many bookworms. This last weekend, after setting up our store, I did something to measure people's reactions; I placed the Gay section right next to the Children's section. I knew there would be reaction, and let me tell you, some were funny, others mumbled and grumbled. Two customers looked shocked. One customer mumbled "disgusting" and walk

Mourning is over

My mourning is over for lucky, I still miss him, but I feel like I can finally return to writing again.   Some interesting things have happened to me during this time and it is impacting my writing.   I will go into more depth with an example of a possible new story later this week.   Anyway, here's a picture of Lucky, so you guys know how he looked in life.

eBook Review: Apple Polisher by Heidi Belleau

Apple Polisher by Heidi Belleau My rating: 4 of 5 stars   Apple Polisher surprised me. It was an interesting name for an interesting book. I thought it would be full of cliches, and in a way it was. We had the classic character tropes, but many of them had hidden qualities that made them more human than their basic first impressions. Christian was anal retentive and uptight ... but he had so many reasons for being that way and he didn't like being that way--though from the synopsis I really t

CANCER SUCKS! More story delays...

First off, let me say that the title of this blog says it all....   CANCER SUCKS!!!!   If I never know someone else who has cancer, it will be WAY TOO SOON!!!!   On July 8th, my grandmother was told she had cancer, only they didn't know what kind or even exactly where it was. This came right on top of the news that the chemotherapy worked and my brother was currently cancer free (despite one five day stint in the hospital after getting an infection of some sort). My grandmother was then

An Apology

I just don't want people to think I have forgotten the story that is being posted. I have three more chapters already written. There are other issues with my team at the moment. One is having personal issues that take complete precedence over my story. I would have serious issues if she tried to do anything while she is dealing with them. I will be looking for someone to fill in part time until things settle down in her life. I do apologize, and I have not abandoned Life Changes. I simply ask fo

Hell

What is hell? No partner? Living with a partner, lover, paramour? Living with an incurable ailment? Writers block? Rejection slips from publishers? Losing a chapter because you forgot so save your work? Hell no. Hell is being without Wi-fi. Suddenly, everything you want to do on the internet, is put on hold. Like quarantine. Like Jail. Like sitting in a doctor's consulting room waiting for bad news. Life is put on the backburner. All that is left is the miserable 3G byte gobbling servi

Putting Crosscurrents To Bed

I may very well be the most procrastinatin' slowpoke story-nonfinisher of a Hosted Author at this whole place. And I know I've driven a bunch of you crazy with my slow pace. Heck, I've probably driven some of you away with my slow pace.   But I'm here to say that the conclusion to Crosscurrents will be posted some time tomorrow. You have no idea what a relief this is to me. Talk about your albatross. On the one hand, anyway. (See below.)   Many if not most of you know that I've had the final

Ronald Reagan Plays the President

I found this really well-written blog post about Ronald Reagan's rise from B-movie stardom to the Republican President Idol he became.   Ronald Reagan Plays the President   The blog basically contends that Ronald Reagan mastered the art of looking sympathetic while simultaneously screwing over the people he was supposed to represent while he was SAG president. I gotta say, she makes her case pretty well. I can't believe the amount of actors he fucked over- no residuals for films that actors

For Gareth with love

On Monday, July 22nd, my cat died. Gareth was 9 years old. We don't really know what happened and probably never will. What we do know is that for some reason he was out on my parents' deck and either fell or jumped. He broke his back. I pray he died quickly but if it was otherwise, I don't want to know.   That little cat was my everything and it's fucking breaking my heart. Gareth came into my life when he was six months old. When I broke up with the man I thought I'd be with for the re

Sonata in Sex Op. 69

Sonata in Sex Op. 69   We have all been told that love making is an art. This form of art is usually accompanied by romantic candles, romantic pulled curtains, romantic champagne, and let us not forget, lots and lots of lube. However, throughout the ages, the intertwining of the sex with sexy music has long been a tradition for us smooth and stylish types. Nothing gets him/her more into it than popping David Gray's This Year's Love into the CD player. But why limit ourselves to pop culture

Mid-summer blog

Summer is about halfway over, and wow, what a summer it’s been. The trip to Colorado was amazing, so much inspiration there that I started penning a brand new story that will eventually be released once I’ve finished writing it. To wake up in the morning and be so close to nature, stand in the face of all those beautiful mountains and know you have nothing but time to go explore was just an awesome experience.   The heat sort of kicked up after I came back, Iowa is never fun when it’s hot, so

14-Year Old Girl Stands Up for Reproductive Rights

There's this awesome article I just read, written by a 14-year old girl who took part in the protests against the Texas State legislature for the restrictive abortion laws that were passed. She held up a sign with her father saying, "Jesus Isn't A Vagina So Keep Him Out of My Vagina" :       This is the article she wrote in response to internet trolls who've called her a slut:   I'm The 14-Year-Old Who Wrote The "Jesus Isn't A Dick So Keep Him Out of My Vagina" Sign In Texas And Was Lab

Coming soon to a gay narrative site near you...and other musing

Well, I'm ready to finish up Crosscurrents. The final chapter and the epilogue will be posted no later than Sunday, July 28, at 11:59 pm CDT. I hope I still have a few readers who started reading when I started writing it, a decade ago.   Wait. A decade?   How did this happen?   Let's see: In the course of a decade, I got finished with college, got finished with grad school, got a job, got married, started a business, had a kid, quit a job, went full-time at my business, took another part
