There's a book I read about a plane crash in Bluemont, Virginia.  It happened back in the 70s.  A passenger jet was flying too low and flew into a mountain...  Mount Weather to be exact. …

i have a journal covered with snakeskin..  when you release cover, the pages open to a bald eagle from a funeral note and an entry roughly dated wednesday, october 24, 2007:

The Mums and Me

With the arrival of fall a little bit ago, I acquired a new job at the farm.  Several days a week, one of my responsibilities…

A person very important to me once said, “inspiration is for amateurs”
He is the reason why I picked the guitar back up.. a weird combination of dylan and hendrix; the cocteau twins and aphex twin; dead can dance…

His mother warned him to never marry a woman who didn’t remove her makeup every night before falling asleep.  In the mornings when he saw her with mascara smeared below her eyes he would think about this. She knew…

I really needed this; I've been gone just about a year. Hit the reset button. Trying to collect my thoughts and get it down before I return to Wyo.
The rain reminds me of my house in Madagascar. The…

Love,

Dear Hong Kong:

Thank you for the visits.  I will see you just outside of Cody the beginning of August.  We are working on a new project.  It's called the The Precinct.  I suppose I should let the…

Somehow I got lucky.

To whom it may concern: 

I have been taking tiger vitamins for breakfast….  The children's chewable type.  I picked them up from the discount rack in the…

The name of the town is Winchester. I liked it immediately.  How could I not?  Thinking of Annie Oakley and the guns, my almost-forty-year-old camper with Wyoming plates fit in easily.  For no other reason in particular except for…

limited edition copies of "33" now available at ActionBALL Boardsports and D&L Music.

pick one up if you haven't already.
