I write books. They might not be your sort of thing but maybe you know someone whoād like them. Theyāre about middle-aged people falling in love. I also work on other peopleās books. The one on the right I am particularly proud of. I post about writing, editing, and rocks, amongst other stuff.

Today, thoughts inevitably turn to a man whose life and death will always be associated with this time of year ā a man whose purity of heart and good works alike contain, I think, the true spirit of the season.

For your holiday ambiance, I've made a hypnotic yule log fireplace with ultra slow motion macro footage of flames stretching & warping like liquid as fire reacts with calcium chloride & barium. This is real fire I filmed, not CGI or AI. 10hrs, 4K, crackling sounds, no music, no ads. Happy holidays!

Carved from stone around 900 years ago, the tenderness and delicacy are astounding. Dream of the Magi Cathedral of Saint-Lazare, Autun, France by the French master Gislebertus. Happy Christmas.

"Scrooge," Marley said, "you will be visited by three goats." "What the fuck?" "I'm sure that was the message. Goats. Three of them. The first when the clock strikes midnight." "What the hell am I supposed to do with ruminants?" But Marley simply faded until he was before Scrooge no more.

Blimey. That's been a year of work. Last newspapers of 2025 are off to print. I spent the year selling advertising in them. We increased our page count, sold enough ads not to go under AND brought our communities thousands of news stories in print and online. Ask me anything about local newspapers
