Are we going in circles? Which Netflix show am I watching again? Is it the one where the hero has to rescue a kid at about the halfway point? Or is it the one with spoiler spoiler spoiler at the end of a middle episode? Several shows do that? Oh. That’s a shame.

Rika Thomas is a superstar. There are many, many reasons for me to say that. The one I’m focusing on for the moment is her art. She did the cover and interior illustrations for my novel, Deadly Troubadours, and she has agreed to do the same for the sequel. The style she uses for those … More My Talented Wife
Four days ago I went into the mountains for camp. That means four days without seeing my one-year-old son. I’ve gone to camps before, but he’s grown so much we weren’t sure how he would react. Last night when I came back he was fast asleep. This morning he woke up. I heard him stirring … More Day After
A successful last day. That means getting kids out and in skies. Getting them back in and getting gear squared away and rooms clean. Riding about 5 hours while keeping everyone, staff included, as happy as possible. Returning those kids to their parents and making the parents as happy as possible. And last, enjoying a … More Day 4
Camp is almost over. As a ski camp, that means the kids have adjusted enough so that they are mostly off with their ski leaders on the hills. That also means that I have a bit more time to play. Today’s bit of play meant going down the skil hill on a plastic sled. Which, … More Day 3
Another busy and successful day of camp. Kids and staff are spending a lot of time up on skies. I’m doing my best to help keep things smooth. One of the good things of camp is not only getting to know a lot of great people, but also getting to see those you know in … More Day 2
Woke up at 5:45am. Meet some old friends and made new ones. Took over 100 kids skiing. Tomorrow we do it again. But first: sleep. And a few thoughts for the two at home.
Early tomorrow morning I’ll be joining a staff of excellent people and helping take a large group of kids into mountains for skiing. Skiing is a bit outside my skill set. I blame that on growing up in Florida and Georgia where, for the most part, skiing meant water not snow. Of course, I’m not … More Into the Wild
Oh no! This episode went out much earlier this week, but I haven’t posted it here! What a disservice! I really think this is a great episode to see what it is we do at Living Japan. The three of us left our studio feeling that this was a good show. Not to say that … More Living Japan Episode 67
One thing I can say about this show is that it is making me want to go back and reread some comics. Sometimes comics, just like books, are better than the shows they are turned into. The question I have after this episode is do I go back to the originals, or do I just … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Iron Fist s01e06: Immortal Emerges from Cave
