In my hands I held the latest book of one of my favorite authors. Finding a new book usually brought about a feeling of excitement for this bookworm. However, I had been burned by his previous work and I was not sure if I was ready to give him another chance. For days I plowed…

The weekend is always so fleeting. I have always said that my favorite part of the weekend is Friday afternoon as I head to my car after work. At that magical time, the whole weekend is spread out before me. In contrast, by Sunday evening, the realization that the new work week is merely hours away…

There is a novella that I should be working on right now. A high powered CEO has mysteriously dropped dead and an expensive commonly used program is being blamed. Instead of upping my word count, I am blogging while watching the LA Galaxy lose to Orlando FC (Half time and Orlando is in the lead…
