I read a bit of Ray Bradbury when I was a younger man. I don't read a lot of fiction anymore... like, none.

No matter how rough things can be at times, many Americans are optimistic and on the move.

I think to write fiction, this is just how I see it, you have to have a powerful need/desire to connect. I can't. Wanting to and not being able to has lead to a lot of misery in my life.

Anyone who wants to help me doesn't. Anyone who wants to kill me might. Anyone who wants to love me better not.

I am a veteran of the War on Christmas. I am just emerging from a battlefield strewn with dead trees and torn shreds of brightly colored wrapping paper.

Pizza makes me think that anything is possible.

Early spring is the time for vigorous change, a preparation for the heat-driven oppression that is to come.
