It was the mid-1990’s when I first discovered chatting online through Bulletin Board Systems. This discovery changed my life and led to some of the greatest, and not so greatest, times of my life.

Tales of the RVidiots – Year One
Myself (Lee), my wife (Michelle), and our 100 pound Golden Retrievers (Sawyer and Finn) had no idea what we were getting into.

We saw some amazing places and experienced a lot of new things. So did the scales of wrong and right balance out, or did it skew to one side? Find out!
One Byte at a Time: A Memoir (From BBS Heyday to Last Day)

Friends Like Us: A Tale Of The New Kid In Town
In the 1980’s, a 15 year old kid that grew up in one town all his life was suddenly ripped from his stable orbit and given a new trajectory when he had to move to a new town. This anxiety ridden (only known as weird back then) kid was terrified of starting over at a new high school with no friends and no clue.
Oh yeah, that kid? It was me. I wrote this not so short story (novella?) when I was 19 years old and less than one year removed from graduating from that new high school. It’s been sitting around in one form or another for 36 years. I’ve decided to publish it now to contrast it against some of the adult memoirs I’ve also published. Hopefully, this story will show readers that I was innocent once and not always a depraved bad guy.

Tail of the Dragon
Hayden Harrison once solved a murder. Hayden was not a police detective. He worked for the U.S. Government but he wasn’t an FBI investigator, or even a U.S. Marshall. Hayden specifically worked for the U.S. Navy, yet he wasn’t an NCIS investigator either. Hayden was just a lowly civilian electronics technician specializing in operating, maintaining, and repairing radar systems. It just sufficed to say, Hayden had no experience whatsoever investigating murders. However, what he would come to learn was that troubleshooting complex electronic weapons systems required a particular set of skills that were not so different than the ones that were required to investigate a murder. The major difference being that the electronic systems he troubleshot were not likely to want to do him harm, as opposed to the murderer suspects who got troubleshot.
