For old school pulp thrills, might I recommend The Phantom City? Classic Doc Savage action. Some social elements have aged poorly, as is common for most content from that era, but this is wonderful for a quick, fun diversion.

A colorful selection of spices on display in one of Dubai's many souks.

In one of the many souks in Dubai I enjoyed the colors and smells of the spices on display. So vibrant.

The colorful ingredients for a creole style jambalaya.

On Sundays during the American Football season, I enjoy making a creole style jambalaya. There is much to be gained from taking your time to cook a meal.

Ouch. This one cuts to the bone.

He stood in front of the world at the UN today, and every other word out of his mouth was a lie. I’ll say it again, we’ve not been here before. An American President who lies as he breathes. It’s a terrible place to be. Shame on the media & everyone who’s normalized his lying and/or doesn’t care.

An extraordinary episode and a riveting performance that marked the arrival of a special talent. Robert Redford will be missed.

The stage, as fire erupts and the band plays, during the My Chemical Romance concert at Tampa Stadium.

We enjoyed, as a family, the extraordinary performance last night by the gentlemen known collectively as My Chemical Romance. This was a visually engaging, exciting, and theatrical experience of high quality.

The moon sets against a backdrop of dark blue clouds at the end of a darkened street flanked by towering oaks and palms.

Early morning in Central Florida. Here we find, sometimes, moments of great beauty.

A stormy day on a deserted beach. The waves are large and choppy.

Yesterday at a deserted spot alongside A1A in Ormond Beach, Florida.
The sea was angry, my friends.

We invested in a turntable and it’s delightful. I’d forgotten how good vinyl sounds, and I appreciate the tactile nature of the experience. Wonderful.

My nearly 40 year old New Orleans Saints coffee mug resting next to a vintage typewriter on my writer's desk.

Here is my New Orleans Saints coffee mug. I purchased it in 1986 on my first visit to NOLA. There, at the Superdome, I watched my beloved Saints lose to the Dolphins in an entertaining game. Every kickoff day since, I have had coffee from this mug. A nearly 40 year tradition. Who Dat!

Wadi Rum, a beautiful desert environment in Jordan.

Some years ago I was fortunate to have an adventure in Wadi Rum, Jordan. Beauty beyond words and a night sky alive with tapestries of stars. Here we experienced many extraordinary moments.

Well said. The last two years were depressing and not much fun at all. The team might not be good this year, but I suspect they are moving in the right direction for a change.

🪬🧿 There is no amount of money, oil, or gold in the world that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water.

Local musicians perform along as we stand with a talented Egyptian DJ behind a large sound console surrounded by the sands of Egypt's northern coast.

An adventure from many years ago. We performed a waterski show for the town of Marina, along the northern coast of Egypt. Joined by local musicians and a talented DJ, I like to think that the audience was entertained. A fine time was had by the team.

The simple enjoyment of the ocean, a pier, and a lovely sky. The shrimp from the restaurant at the end of the pier were tasty.
Here in Daytona Beach I found a fine sense of peace.

Odd, how South Park is covering Kristi Noem and her ICE hooligans more accurately than The New York Times.

Life before cynicism.

A system that allows a convicted criminal rapist tyrannical traitor to gain full totalitarian control of the U.S. govt without so much as a guardrail in place to protect us from him and his deranged destructive immoral corrupt agenda is a highly flawed and broken system.

Motherfucking wind farms…

Starmer is thinking what we are thinking and what most of the world is thinking.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed Fantastic Four- First Steps. Brilliant use of the Kirby aesthetic and the optimism of the early comics by Stan and Jack. These charming young people were there as well!

I did not sell any books on Amazon last month, or the month before. This morning I checked and was delighted to see that I sold three paperback copies of my most recent novel. This is not much, I know, but it means a great deal to me. I hope the readers enjoy the story.

Thank you, Ozzy, for the many years of entertainment. You were a big part of my life's teenage soundtrack. The afterlife just got louder.

We enjoyed a concert last night performed by The Gaslight Anthem. The venue in St. Augustine, Florida, was a beautiful amphitheater. Great fun!

Superman Isn’t Trying to Be Political. We Just Have Real-Life Supervillains Now.

What a headline.

What, exactly, are we celebrating tomorrow?

Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy?

Our new concentration camps?

Our dying economy?

Our ditching due process?

Our corruption?

Our broken legislature?

Our corrupt SCOTUS?

Our ridiculous buffoon president? #FourthOfJuly
