Win the Game of Life
They say you should never read the comments. They would be right, of course. But sometimes I stray unwary in where it should be safe. Which is where my rant button got triggered, hard. And I thought I’d write it down, at length, only maybe with less f’bombs than in my head. So this is…

A Love of Beauty
I have many wonderful friends. Some of them inspire me to be a better person, to become a little more like them, as I see in them traits I admire and desire to emulate in myself. Jonna Hayden is one person I am happy to put on a little pedestal (just a little one, so…

Pursuing Passions

Gold-Plated Misogynist
That’s what she said. It was in a comment thread online, after a friend of mine had shared a Robert A Heinlein quote. I looked at it, shook my head, and wondered when the man who was accused of being too pro-women in the era he wrote in, had become a woman-hater. It’s not true…

Women and Children First
Tradition dictates that when a ship is sinking, women and children are the first to go into the lifeboats. Men and the crew stay with the ship if there is not enough room. Honor and duty, and a generation of manners we are fast forgetting. But what if there are no lifeboats? And just who…

As of sometime last night, Farmhand went live for sale. So you have one last chance to read a little, and decide if it’s worth plunking down $2.99 for it. If you do, and you enjoy it, please leave a review! It’s the best tip you can give an author. Nothing elaborate necessary, just your…
