Chicago: Race Pro
It’s been so long since my coverage of the Peak Antifreeze Indy 300 – the last Indy race of the 2007 season – and honestly, I can’t remember much. I met the new Team Ethanol Driver, Ryan Hunter-Reay and worked with him throughout the weekend. Sweet guy. I also met PJ Chesson at the ethanol [...]
Back on the Airwaves…
Most of you know, before I started doing my own online multi-media contracting work, I worked for a statewide radio network in Missouri: the Missourinet. That meant my oh-so-smooth voice was all over the Show-Me-State. Before that, my voice and video was all over Italy, Australia, Japan and on EWTN in the U.S. with my [...]

Gotta Get Rid of the Car…
Those who know me know my car is the bane of my existence. While I do appreciate being able to drive around… it is literally one thing after another in car trouble for me. Latest couple of incidents… I get hit by an acquaintance. He doesn’t want me to turn into his insurance, because as [...]

Unrest in Burma
Officially it’s Myanmar, but I have friends that identify themselves as Burmese. So out of respect for them, I call it Burma. There’s an article on Christian Today about the Christian perspective of what’s going on in that country right now. Keith Simon at The Crossing Church pointed out the article on the Church’s Blog [...]
Urban Wilderness Chicago: Part 2
This wonderful trip now seems so long ago… I’m racking up so many amazing experiences and I’m not writing about them… and that is weighing on me. I’ve lost a lot of details from my first trip to Chicago, so there’s going to be less narration and more “this was cool” and “I did this” [...]

Islamic Takeover of the U.S…
…is not all that hard to imagine for the minds behind Republic World News. The RWN Web site creates its take on the futuristic reality of America in 2036.

Urban Wilderness Chicago: Part 1
Time to play some more catch up. Last weekend I ventured out to Chicago on my own on a kind of spur of the moment whim. I looked up a few Chicagoans on Couchsurfing.com, secured a free place to crash and off I went! I wound up staying with a couple of local playwrights, one [...]
Psychedelic Purple Rubber Thingamajig
In case you’re wondering what, exactly, is depicted in my frantic excuse for a photo… it’s a close-up of one of those fun pliable, rubber balls with hair-like tentacles that you can squish and bulge. Why is it so entertaining to squeeze these suckers? I’m squishing it right now and I can’t stop…
