This Is A Picture Of A Fish.

Well, actually there’s nothing there to show you. I have maintained my very long streak of catching not a darned thing while fishing.

My last recorded catch was in 1990. I might be wrong about that, it’s very likely my wife caught the actual fish, but I was there. Come to think of it, I’ve never caught a fish except with a net at the pet store.

This past week I joined my boss for a deep-sea fishing expedition. We went about 12 miles offshore, fairly shallow water (does that qualify as deep sea?) in the Gulf of Mexico. It was chilly out on the water until the sun painted us. But getting up at 0400 so I could make it to the boat on time was not fun. It reminded me of the Navy. It was a 0700 show for a 0800 go. One hour of sitting around. 

But it was a good break. I’ve been working on a couple of audio books the last month, and the devotional Rodger and I wrote finally published. I hadn’t had much of a break in months and needed it.

I’m back, real blogs to follow. I even have an inspiration for a gory story to share, but I have to carefully evaluate it before I publish it. Something about going to jail… Well, it is fiction.

 

 

Ooooh, A New Audio Book: Digital Dreams and Other Distractions

Kerry Nietz has been kind enough to humor my style for two books now. The latest released today: Digital Dreams and Other Distractions. 

This one is relatively brief, but is an excellent read/listen. It’s perfect for the lover of the unusual. You can buy it by hitting the picture below, for it serves as a link.

Software developer turned storyteller Kerry Nietz brings artificial wonders to life. Digital Dreams and Other Distractions is essential Nietz—nine tantalizing tales of synthetic futures, unfolding across a background of stars. 

In this surreal landscape, dying legends haunt sheltered keeps, young boys reconstruct ancient giants, astronauts push the boundaries of the solar system, and metal nightmares reign over faraway rocks. Alluring and compelling, Digital Dreams is a multifaceted blend of mystery, imagination, and devotion—as thrilling as interstellar exploration, and as dangerous as another day at the office.

 

I Owe You A Decent Blog

But that probably won’t happen today. I promise a good one next week with some cool pictures. You’ll understand why when I post it. 

Again, my apologies for the false alarm last week. Oy, such a mess. But, as you can see, I’m still kicking.

See you next week. My blogging vacation is almost over. I have been working on audio books and the new devotional the last few months to the point where I didn’t have much time for the blog. I will be back next week.

THE GOSPEL OF LUKE: CHAPTER 24

The Gospel of Luke tells the whole story of the Christ. It is done in 24 chapters. Consequently, every day in December I will be posting a new chapter of Luke until we get to Christmas. It is my hope that you share this with your friends, church, family and social media. 

It is also my hope that you will not take me as crass for listing two of my favorite audio books for sale below the Luke video. This is how I make my living, and if you like the way I read Luke, I suspect you’ll like the way I read these two fantastic books. The first is fiction by a best-selling author who stepped away for 10 years. He must have been perfecting his craft for this book is excellent. The second book is an auto-biography of a young submarine officer in the late sixties. I identified with this one as well, for I spent more than a minute of my life on the 637 class submarines doing my job as a spook. 

Now, for the Gospel of Luke (and a Merry Christmas to you all):
