Publishing of Life’s Attic Getting Closer

My novel, Life's Attic, is being typeset as I speak (or type), and the cover art is being finalized as well. There have been more steps to this whole book writing/publishing process than I ever would have thought. But it's all fascinating to me, even though each part seems to take ten times longer than I think it should. Hopefully that will make it all … Continue reading the story "Publishing of Life’s Attic Getting Closer"

The Titanic has long been the subject of controversy. From the myriad of mistakes and circumstances that tragically came together April 14, 1912 to the inadequate loading of lifeboats in the very early morning hours of April 15, 1912. From the different hearings and results into the disaster to speculation as to how and why the ‘unsinkable’ ship sank. And there has been more since … Continue reading the story "Titanic Controversy Set Aside for New Expedition"

Forget Jail, Forget Nursing Homes, Take a Cruise

The following joke/scenario thing reminds me of an earlier forward I wrote about which contrasted life in prison and a nursing home. It also brings to mind the old chestnut, “the truest words are spoken in jest.” Underneath so many of these little comedy bits are some pretty apt observations and commentaries. Princess cruise ship … Continue reading the story "Forget Jail, Forget Nursing Homes, Take a Cruise"

cigs and moneyThis week, two appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court involving tobacco companies have been denied to be heard. One decision favoured Big Tobacco, the other did not.

BP Horror Show Continues – Yacht, Memo, Now Turtles Burned Alive

It just doesn’t seem to stop. Everyday there’s another horror, revelation, or uncovering of yet another lie, or misstatement of the truth if you want to be kind about it. I’m not so sure I do. Too many of BP’s actions, and inactions in other cases, have left me totally disgusted. The list just grows of what has gone wrong in the Gulf of Mexico … Continue reading the story "BP Horror Show Continues – Yacht, Memo, Now Turtles Burned Alive"

I thought this was a good opportunity to share what I’ve found beyond what I’ve already posted. The impetus for that original post was actually an article I was sent that … Continue reading the story "More Information on Animal Testing by Tobacco Companies"

titanic newspaperSomething struck me today, not a bolt of lightening, more like an iceberg, or maybe a drilling rig. I don’t know why I hadn’t already connected the two before. April 14th 1912 (technically April 15th 1912 at 2:20AM) the ship that couldn’t sink sank. April 20th 2010 the deepwater drilling platform that was … Continue reading the story "Gambling on Ships and Oil Rigs"
