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!

MotW: Olympic Games
Reviewing the footage Ismene obtained from inside the military barn, Tammy shifted uncomfortably on Harry's couch. "I do not like this feeling," she admitted with a frown, rubbing her arms in an attempt to calm the goosebumps that seeing the hidden altar...
Introducing “Half-Remembered Movies”
Many blogs and review sites take the occasional look back at cinema of yesteryear, of those great and now-classic movies of the 1980s and 90s that have become part of the American cultural consensus. The authors rewatch older movies with new eyes, and often talk about...
