Back in the US…
…of A, after 17 days in Germany, about 2 days in Denmark, and around 30 feet away from Switzerland. Gracie was glad to see us. Where the hell have you been? Everywhere, man. Like Heilbronn: Ludwigsburg: and Nuremburg: among others. … Continue reading

It. Is. Finished.
The Ship Finding God, that is. At 83,000 words, and some change. Of course, that’s just the first draft, which is far from an actual finish. The wood has to be sanded and treated and then several coats of varnish … Continue reading
