There are a lot of great ways to spend a date night. Being original can keep things fun and interesting, but the classics will always have their place in a great, healthy, strong relationship. There is just something about dinner and a movie that almost always works. Like anything else, it won't go 100% right …
Future
How far forward do you look? Can you see? I try to see, but I am not always sure of what I see. I am not always sure of what I want. Is it money? Do I wish to have a vast fortune, a big house, lots of land, and fancy things? Honestly, there was …
Kitchen Respite
Sometimes, I love a good kitchen adventure. I am no trained professional and my completed works would not impress the likes of Gordon Ramsey, but I can say that my food is edible and no one has ever died. I call that a double win. I also don't over-complicate it. Sometimes, simple is best. I …
My Buddy AJ
People seemed to like AJ, so I thought I would share another. This little guy is in love with his Puppaccino toy. It is nuts. He will do anything for this squeaky. Sometimes, it is actually kind of gross. Not the imagery, mind you, but how wet and disgusting the toy gets after he nibbles …

Big Jump
Wind rushed past the door with an intensity that could knock even the biggest jumper on their back. He didn’t care. It was a big part of the reason he was there. The high wind, the adrenaline rush. Heights used to be a major problem. Not anymore. He leaned out the door slightly so he …
Nautical Freedom
The blue stretched as far as the eyes could see. The smell of the sea air, filled with salt and moisture, oddly, tasted sweet. It was so clean and fresh. No sign or indication of the 21st century within view, making the experience all the purer. The only sounds belong to the ocean. He thought …
Mission Ready
The heavy aircraft touched down hard and gradually slows while the vibrations from the engines dwindle. It almost feels as if the plane will fall apart. It always feels that way. The metallic rattling noises bombarding your eardrums from all directions serve as a reminder that you are in a piece of equipment constructed by …
