Since the magazine was a time and money sink and didn’t generate as much interest as I’d hoped, I decided to give book publishing a try. The good news is that people can buy the book on Amazon whereas the magazine they couldn’t.

If the book doesn’t pan out I’m going to abandon the printed world altogether.

I also never fulfilled all the magazine subscriptions so my plan is to send the last subscribers a free copy of the book. All 232 pages!

I can almost get that dude out of the photo. Almost.

Go out of your way for people. You’ll be mildly surprised by the results.

Please enjoy a song I recorded sometime in the late 90s, maybe 1998. Of course I wrote all the lyrics and music and played all the instruments. Because that’s what you do when you’re me.

The additional vocals/voices are messages left on my home answering machine. When those were a thing.

So my fancy sport jacket has mud on it. Hard telling what I was doing last time I wore it.

I just called the IRS to see what they were up to this 4th of April. The automated voice told me that the current wait time was between 30-60 minutes but to please stay on the line because my call was very important to them.

I suspicion the Democrats have them all in a tizzy rounding up Trump’s previous tax returns.

I have a tendency to want a fast, definitive answer when I’m nervous and unsure. Even doubly so when I panic.

I look down and back and forth like the answer is somewhere on the floor.

But it’s not. Rubbernecking for a quick answer seems to lock me into a finite way of thinking and fixing whatever’s wrong.

The question isn’t “what should I do?”

The question is “what could I do?”

Asking what I could do opens up doors. It helps me think bigger picture. Keeps my options open and plugs me in to all the cosmos has to offer.

The possibilities are endless when I look up and close my eyes.

After I’ve made a mess of things because I’m nervous I remember the question I was supposed to ask:

Where is god in all of this?

I just turned on my left blinker and the windshield wipers start wiping. There was washer fluid everywhere. I barely made my left turn.

This is why I don’t everything.
