13 Manga
I have a thing for manga. Manga is what the Japanese call graphic novels. I call it manga, but I like the stuff from China and Korea too, and they have other words for it. Anyway, there are 13 I like: On the left there is Air Gear. On the right is Bakuman. Air Gear is about a young punk who becomes someone special when he puts on a special kind of roller skate that can get you airborn for […]
10/365 For Perspective
This is actually a set up for tomorrow’s picture, which a great shot, but not as impressive as I think it should be. It helps if you see this first.
By George! How to Become King
If you know anything about George IV, you know he can’t let a little thing like his own coronation go by without a celebration. In the end the King never did receive the divorce he so ardently sought, but the Queen never officially became queen, either. And Caroline was going to discover that Wilberforce was correct, a mob was a fickle thing indeed. Once they lost interest… After the trial, the public mood began to change. For many, it was […]
Age Freeze
I finished reading Twilight recently. I blame Andi for making me read it in the first place. It got me to thinking. If you were going to get yourself turned into a vampire on purpose and could pick the age you would be, what age would you pick? So of course I asked my family what they would pick. The Girl Girl was quick to pipe up the the answer I would expect most. She said in her early 20’s, […]

Learning
Jill: I don’t know, Jack. Seems like ever since the real Tonic got switched with this other dog, that’s all we ever thing about. Jack: Yeah, you’re right. We’ve been worrying too much about him. I think we need to just get on with our lives. Jill: But how can we when he does everything different. I mean, look at him now. Jack: (mumbling) he has better table manners than I do. Jill: I don’t even remember giving him a […]
Suzie’s House 123: No Good Deed
Oh great. He should have taken Lisa through the front door instead of acting all sneaky with the back. Of course Mom and Gene would be in the kitchen. Ben should of thought of that. But that woman he and Lisa eavesdropped on at school, what was she still doing here?
Suzie’s House
Is in progress. No, I haven’t written it yet. Working on it now. Hey, it was a busy week!
Summer “Vacation.”
Click on picture to go to hub. Like working in a sauna, sweat rolls down her back. The fan on the computer is running so hard it’s developing a high-pitched whine. No air conditioning. Over 100F in the shade. Can’t stop. Three novels due or over due. Back aches, wrist aches, head is empty but can’t stop. Words. Words. Just a few more….
