  • Me in High School, carrying a torch for a girl who was completely uninterested. We’re skiing at Mount Bachelor, I missed the exit from the chairlift and they wouldn’t let me jump down, so I ride the chairlift down. Of course girl I was carrying a torch for saw.

    Or…

    Fast forward about 45 years. Last weekend I was at Lynn Family Stadium with my wife, watching LouCity play. Just past the second half restart, I’m standing up from letting some people go down our row to their seats. I decide to put my drink can in the cup holder before sitting down all the way. I bend over and over balance. Go falling down over the row in front of us and the aisle beside us.

    You can pick which is more embarrassing.











  • I have read through book 10 twice. I have listened through book 10 once (currently half way through).

    While I love Horatio Hornblower, I love Honor more.

    I do not read science fiction. It’s just not my thing, but when War of Honor was published, Baen published it with a CD of all the prior books bound into the cover. I thought this was a cool thing to do and wanted to support it, so bought the book with no intention of actually reading it.

    Well that plan didn’t work out.

    You’ll discover as you get deeper into the series that even Honor knows she’s literarily related to Hornblower.
