Seldom these days do I have anything good to say about any legislator anywhere. That’s especially true with tax day so close. A big shout out to the IRS for the three extra days to hang on to my own money this year … whoooo hooooo!!!

You may have guessed science fiction isn’t my preferred literary genre. Fact is you can count on one hand the number of sci-fi novels or short stories I’ve read in my lifetime.
I’ve written before about what a wonderful wife I have. We’ve been married for nearly 27 years and every one better than...
