Eagles Fly
Because Sammy Hagar said it far better back in 1987 than I ever could. One of the most beautiful songs off Sammy’s 1987 album I Never Said Goodbye. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him perform this song live many times over the years. Sometimes acoustically, but also during his time in Van Halen in…

Meanderings At Dusk
I am waiting for dusk to arrive As darkness falls I feel alive My thoughts meander, feeling free As night slips in I truly see This clarity is so divine I feel it now, this world is mine Mine to have and mine to hold To tell the tales I’ve not yet told The air…

To Sharpen the Blade Once More (2)
Korv stared at the mighty hammer before him. He had lifted it so many times before. Surely, his strength had not diminished that much. Confidently, he reached down to grasp it. As his fingers curled around the knurled handle, he proceeded to lift, and… Nothing. The hammer did not budge even a whisper. Korv stared…

Telltale Tuesday
Good day, all! Hope everyone’s Tuesday is going well so far! Not much on this end other than waiting to see the doc this afternoon about this cursed neck and back pain. With luck, I’ll get some answers and a path forward. In the spirit of today’s daily prompt, I am trying not to complain…

Sunday Serenity
Good morning and a happy Sunday to all! As I type this, the freezing rain outside has turned to snow, and it’s coming down fairly steadily. There’s already a soft blanket of the white stuff covering the ground. The market will be quiet, the roads will be bare and the sounds of the outdoors will…

Superhero Saturday (01/27/24)
After fumbling the ball last week, I am back on track with a new edition of Superhero Saturday! Some will be pretty recognizable right off the bat, a couple are riffs on familiar favorites, and one or two are pure experimentation. Hope everyone has a great day!

SLDS Challenge (02/02/24)
This week’s prompt for the Spies, Lies, and Digital Skies challenge is: A romantic rendezvous on a rooftop. I went through quite a few iterations of this trying to get just the right amount of romance and spice I was looking for. Since I tend to prefer darker themes, nighttime was a given for me.…

It’s time for this week’s entry in Susan T. Braithwaite’s Spies, Lies, and Digital Skies Challenge. This week’s prompt is: An elusive double agent. This one definitely lived up to it’s name and proved to be a challenge. For me, at least. 😄 I tried multiple variations on this theme but could not pin anything…

Next Stop…The Wasteland!
Good morning all! Hope everyone had a great weekend. Today’s theme seems fitting for the start of the week. I think the word “Wasteland” is easily interchangeable with “Monday”. 😄 These images were inspired by a little video game series called Fallout. It’s one of my favorite video game series ever. There is also going…

Superhero Saturday!
Ah, the good old days of Saturday morning cartoons! When I was a wee lad I could not lift my head off the pillow Monday though Friday mornings if my life depended on it. But on Christmas morning and Saturdays? You betcha I could! I loved me some Saturday morning cartoons, and I especially loved…

Mashup: Sci-Fi & Vikings
Working on a poem, but it isn’t quite there yet, so I took a break and played around with some image creation. I decided to combine two of my favorite genres in science fiction and Vikings to see what I could come up with. Had some fun with this one. Enjoy!

Saturday Boredom Killer
I was sitting around having my morning coffee and catching up on my reading/commenting (and getting my 200 pushups in!), and once I finished that, I wanted to write, but nothing is coming to me at the moment. In the interest of trying something new and indulging my creative idiocy, I decided to play around…
