A declaration of war is a big thing, something one does not declare without considering the ramifications. The decision took me about seventeen seconds this morning. I have really bad neighbors who live above me. They're two college girls who have lots of parties, smoke wayyy too much and seem to be running a brothel out of … Continue reading The War Has Just Begun

Needs Must
I should be asleep but since I ran a quick road trip yesterday to Soldier's Retreat, I slept last night. For 12 hours. Apparently I was tired. Hill 142 is mostly done.

I do love … Continue reading Sold!
Tastes Like Chicken
You ever read a book and find yourself thinking "I've read this before" as you turn through every page, every character reminiscent of a long-lost friend? Well, yeah, okay... sequels. Easy enough, right? You know the characters already (from previous novels) while being introduced to new, exciting ones (you can only hope). But have you … Continue reading Tastes Like Chicken
