The RVidiots Invade Colorado. Oh Deer!

The RVidiots Invade Colorado. Oh Deer!

It’s been almost a year since we were in Colorado, so I figured it might be time I posted a video about it. Colorado is just simply beautiful! We only got to explore a small portion of it for reasons you’ll see, but I can only imagine the rest of the state is amazing as well. It’s definitely on our list of places to return to. We did a lot of stuff while we were there. Some intentional, some not….

Just Another Hike

Just Another Hike

Finn and I did an overnight hike on the Appalachian Trail in North Carolina. If you are interested in such things, check out the video. If not, tell me what kind of post you’d like to see next.

Kindle Vella, I see what you did there Amazon!

Kindle Vella, I see what you did there Amazon!

Amazon just started a new service called Kindle Vella, you know, like Novella? It’s a platform where authors can release serialized stories one episode at a time anywhere from 500 – 15,000 words long. Right now I am working on three books at one time. Am I crazy? Pretty much. Doing one book at a time was hard enough, but I just got three ideas at once and had to go with it. One of the books is a follow…

Virginia Triple Crown

Virginia Triple Crown

Yes, this is a hiking story. Yes, River, it’s a long one. Much like my sex life, I store it up for a long time and then release it in one big bang! Unlike my sex life, this will last longer. You’ll notice I didn’t file this one under the Epic Trail Fails category. That’s because, other than a couple of falls and a much too close encounter with lightning, there was no fail. The Virginia Triple Crown of hiking…

Oops! I did it again.

Oops! I did it again.

Well, I’ve published another book. This one is a memoir about a specific time in my life. If you’ve read this blog for any amount of time you’ll know that I have a bit of social anxiety. Back during the time that this memoir covers it really wasn’t called social anxiety. It was called “That’s a weird dude” or “He must think his shit don’t stick because he never talks.” Nope, I was just, and still am, shy in the…

Meet Isaiah

Meet Isaiah

I met Isaiah last weekend when my dog Finn and I spent three days and two nights on the Appalachian Trail. Isaiah is an interesting chap. Definitely not the kind of person I would usually hang around with. The introvert voice in me told me to get away from this guy as quick as possible. For once, I didn’t listen to that voice and I’m glad I didn’t. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have got to have an experience that took me…

What bugger am I talk about? You might have heard a few things about it. Here’s a picture of it. Seen something like that before? Yeah, you have. It’s that damn COVID-19 bug! Mother fucker got me bad! Wait, you say? You said you think it got you. You don’t know? It’s not confirmed, but I am 99.9% sure it was COVID. I’ll tell you why I think so and why I didn’t get it confirmed. First of all I…

Lord Of The Wedding Ring

Lord Of The Wedding Ring

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to define thee,If I were to lose that Ring, in the darkness she would bind me. J.R.R. Tolkien (slightly modified) Ari and wife 1/3 were speeding west along I-10 in their ’88 Mercury Tracer hatchback. The cargo area in the back was full to the brim with suitcases. The back seat was full with a three year old toddler and a two month old baby. They were about three hours out of…

Paperback (and eBook) Writer

Paperback (and eBook) Writer

I’m a published author! Woohoo! I can’t believe it. I actually conceived an idea, wrote about it, finished writing about it, had it edited, did re-writes, did more editing, and published it! It’s been two years in the making but among the many other DOA projects I started, this one is finished! I know I’ve talked about working on this novel a few times before, but for the newbies I’ll just post my book summary below. A man and his…
