In the first two posts of my series, Your Write Turn, I tried to convince you that you can pursue any number of new career choices after the age of 50—including becoming a writer—and I gave you a personal inventory to run through in determining what you bring by way...

[You can read other installments of my “Flying in the BUFF” posts HERE!] This is the 126th blog I’ve posted since January of 2017—which amounts to 175,000 words. That’s almost two novels. Which I probably should have been writing instead of posts about Toilets...

I got a lot of traffic on a post I did two weeks ago about new careers after 50. Since my own newest career is writing, I thought I’d follow-up by talking about this crazy idea of becoming an author at the wizened old age of 50 or (gasp!) even older. Kids these...

I’m 59 and can’t hold a job. Or more accurately, I can’t stick with a career. Well, at least not like my Dad did. I mean, he really only had one. I’m on Number Nine. We subconsciously use our parents as our default yardstick with which to measure our lives. It must be...

[You can read more stories from Skeeterville HERE.] I just spent a week back in my old hometown of Skeeterville. Maybe it’s just me, but either everybody there has gotten much cooler or I’m much less of a jerk than I was in high school. I’m open to either possibility....

[You can also read “Flying in the BUFF, Part One” and “Flying in the BUFF, Part Two” HERE!] I was checking my website analytics and discovered that by far the most-read posting I’ve ever done is “Flying in the BUFF (Part Two).” I have no idea...

My blog spans a rather eclectic range of topics. Mostly, it’s a reflection of stuff that a) I know a little more about than the average jamoke, and/or b) has intrigued, tickled, or annoyed me during the past week. Which makes me a lot like Andy Rooney, I suppose. And...
