SHELF LIFE: IN THE DOGHOUSE

A little while ago, we’re in the doghouse. Or more accurately, we were in the cathouse. Oh, Julie tells me that a cathouse is somewhat different to a doghouse. She wants me to tell you that she’s never been in a cathouse. […]

HUMP DAY: NOT BORN IN THE USA

I became a citizen a few years ago and I was reminded of the final hurdle I had to jump through to get there–the civics test. Like all trips to Immigration, it was an adventure. Since the ICE (formerly the INS) is […]

HUMP DAY POST: POSITION VACANT – SUPERHERO WANTED

Having grown up on comic books and comic book inspired TV shows, I’ve always hankered after being a superhero doing superhero stuff and being revered for it. I always fancied being something along the lines of Si-Man, a crime fighter who takes […]

SHELF LIFE: Teeing Off

Mini-golf plays a part in NO SHOW. It’s not something you expect to see in a mystery novel, but if I’m anything, it’s unconventional. I have no interest in traditional golf, but I do love mini-golf! It’s where Indiana Jones meets the […]
