Poetic Musings
Thank you for taking this literary journey with me! Here I post personal thoughts on social issues, reflections about day-to-day living, and of course a healthy amount of stories inspired by the many games I’ve played over the years. I try to update several times a week, and genuinely appreciate the care and support of all who read these words, whether the post is fanciful or heartfelt.
The Where to Start page has great suggestions for first-time visitors, and all posts are sorted by the Categories you see in the right-side menu; feel free to narrow things down!

Waking up with a week’s worth of food strewn about the campsite, most of it eaten by a large wilderness predator was not the best start to my Boy Scout patrol’s second day on the trail. Looking around in the dim dawn light, trying to make sense of it all…
Covert Ops: Redecorating
I've never been accused of being an optimist. A cynic a few times, but like most I figure myself more of a realist. The world is as it is, not as we want it to be, and sometimes that's a blast of cold water to the face. I wasn't confident in our odds of...
Covert Ops: Noche Oscura
A good torturer, if you pardon my expression, knows the value of anxiety. Often the anticipation of pain is a more effective motivator than actually hitting someone. Think about good horror movies – the less you see the monster, the scarier it is. El Seño...
