It’s here! November is National Novel Writing Month affectionately known as NaNoWriMo. During this crazy competition, a whole bunch of people try to write 50,000 words in 30 days. It’s crazy, it’s almost impossible, it’s fun. I’m ready to go!

Yesterday somebody who was really important to me died, but I never had the chance to meet her. She was Nichelle Nichols, and she was an American treasure. You may know her as Uhura on the original Star Trek. What you might not know is that she wanted to quit the show, but was encouraged…
Those who know me well, know that I love me a good conspiracy theory. I’m not saying I totally believe any of them, but the whole idea fascinates me. Was there a second shooter on the famous “grassy knoll” when JFK was killed? I don’t know. But I do think there are things the public…
