The Existential Taxidermist
Imagine the Soul Searching
It was not the sort of night one would normally choose for a walk. Not that Bob had chosen per se. Bob typically lived a very Bob life. He had none of the flourishes or airs of a Robert and certainly not the carefree existence of a Bobby. Bob was as simple and succinct and matter of fact as his name implied. But this was not a Bob . . .
The Original Evening Loon
A bit of a backstory
The Evening Loon was originally published in the early 1900's, crafted and edited below decks in the aft most cabin of a legendary ship (nay barge) that sailed about Lake Charlevoix. The Keuka (Indian for Keuka) was not storied due to its beauty for it had none or it's sleek lines as those it did not possess. The fame in . . .
Rural Route 004
Dispatches from a Semi-Fictional Resort Town

. . .You are Content
Not Content but Content like made up of Stories
First a few words about content. Specifically content I like. This is not in any order, just the way it tumbled out like tennis balls off of a closet shelf. I like independent and foreign films, rarely a wide release formula flick. Dumbing things down just seems like dumbing things down. Apparently any campaign to try to get the . . .
Michigan Summer
Actually better than the Pure Michigan tv ads
I was deep into the swearing when the phone rang. The indoor baby swing was winning the battle. Some assembly required. That was the phone call that started the bicoastal (Michigan-California) career eventually giving way to full time Angeleno status. Not only was there a bushel basket of new clients and opportunity, the weather wasn't . . .
