Tunesday: Lindi Ortega
Another great, slightly under-the-radar singer/songwriter: Lindi Ortega doing “All My Friends.” I picked this song in particular because not only is it a fantastic song by a talented artist with a mesmerizing voice, it would make the perfect opening song on a soundtrack of my nearly-finished novel, which opens with a whole lot of the […]

NCAA Division II Basketball: IUP Contends For National Championship
Hey, just a shout-out for the men’s basketball team from my alma mater, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, led by one of the best point guards I’ve had the good fortune to see, senior Devante Chance, and a host of other talented players.

Amazon.com is SNEAKY
I recently ordered something from Amazon–not the items in the screen shot below, sadly, that’s just a re-creation using some books I’m going to get around to sooner or later. Now, I knew my order was above the free shipping threshold, but for some reason it hadn’t been calculated in–so I read that blurb at […]
