BOOYAH!!! Draft one of the new Mil SF project, Where Eagles Fly, is in the can. Now I’m off to pen a quick short story based on those same characters (for email listers only) then it’s onward to draft two. Hoping to have the finished manuscript in to the publisher by Memorial Day. Colonies Lost…

Finally caught the mid-season premiere of Star Wars: Rebels last night after dinner. Boy, that one’s gonna take some time to digest. I maintain that Star Wars under Disney is a mixed bag. I was not a fan of The Last Jedi, and it had nothing to do with female protagonists, overinflated expectations, childhood allegiances,…
Finally got to check out the WWE Raw 25th anniversary special on Hulu last night. Is it just me, or are there no quality pro wrestlers anymore? Seriously, every time one of the new “stars” came out, he or she was complete upstaged by the likes of Steve Austin, Chris Jericho, Ric Flair, DX, and…

Sorry y’all, but I’m throwing in the towel on The Orville. I wanted to like it. I really did. However, the imitation Star Trek fused with a Family Guy shtick simply didn’t grab me. Put culinarily, that’s like smothering a finely-marbled ribeye steak from the Dollar Tree with your favorite can of Chef Boyardee then…
As of today, I’m no longer on the fence about Jimbo Fisher. Time for him to go. On a day when every major school with an opening is orbiting their candidate of choice, he played the “I don’t talk about other jobs when I’ve got games to plan for” card, effectively leaving the entire Florida…
