Site Notes
Yes, I know my blogging is sporadic. Yes, I know I missed writing about the State of the Union, this blog's seventh anniversary, and the 25th anniversary of the Challenger disaster. Lot of things going on right now, and free time is at a premium. Hope to get back to a "normal" blogging routine soon.

“Things Are Going To Start Happening To Me Now”

Rites of Passage
I had my first encounter with actual moonshine last night, distilled (or so I was told) by the late and legendary "Popcorn" Sutton. I'm not the kind to cotton to such things, but there I was, on some abandoned railroad tracks with a steel guitar player and a banjo player and a bunch of others. (The railroad tracks were behind the theater where … Read More

These checks are in the name of South Motors Infiniti (which is the name of a car dealership in … Read More

Hellphone Teaser
The funny thing is…. the guy at the beginning of the trailer? That was originally going to be my part, but due to scheduling issues, it went to someone else. I got a different scene. This is going to be a fun little movie.
