“Life can't defeat a writer who is in love with writing, for life itself is a writer's lover until death.” - Edna Ferbe

DESKTALK – It was never as wonderful as it might seem. I am inclined to try and make it appear better; nicer than it really was. (It’s a habit.) And for many reasons I’m sorry for doing it.

But as I grow older, I experience these poignant awakenings. I guess it’s just in time – in passing.

I believe in looking reality straight in the eye and denying it.” - Garrison Keiller

NEW: I’ve added a “special section” to the “Past 20 Years” part of the page. You will find there nearly (but not all) every video and audio production I’ve published over the last few years. They’re not arranged as nicely as I want them to be. But SOME are there – and I’ll add to them as time passes.

BLACK CAT PRODUCTION #1

The difference between priests and poets? Priests have rules. - rnt
