I have just completed my eleventh draft of my new novel, Retribution. I am looking for someone who enjoys reading fiction and would be willing to be a “beta reader.” The book is an “upscale” thriller, meaning in this case a thriller with a thoughtful backstory and believable characters. The story starts with an American…

I am presently between my 10th and 11th draft of my new novel Retribution, time to come up for air and to get away from it. Breaks are good. I leave a draft thinking to myself, “Hey chap, you nailed it! A Pulitzer Prize nominee for sure.” Then I come back two weeks later, open…

I am so sorry but it was brought to my attention that the number I published last time for Dr. Moren’s new headache clinic is wrong. I doubled checked and I had one digit wrong. Here is the correct number (and I made my list and checked it twice): 360 392 3917. Mike

As I have a few of my old patients who monitor this website, I thought this would be the best way to communicate. Just a few weeks ago I announced the death of our old headache practice. I am please now to announce that Dr. James Moren (my previous partner) will be restarting a headache…

The first time I came across the secret was when I learned that my dear aunt Helen, who was like a second mom and always inebriated on joy, had a horrible past life. She lost five immediate family members (three sisters and parents) before she turned 18. Then she married a man who did not…

A brief update regarding my health for my friends and family. I mentioned that about seven weeks ago, some of my labs showed that my cancer was suddenly becoming more active.

I’m going to say some things that will sound weird, leaving many scratching their heads. But if you think through this to its metaphysical roots, you see that I’m talking about something essential. Tomorrow the NASA Mars lander, the Perseverance, will land on Mars and for me, it will be a sacred day. I will…

A long time ago, ca. high school, I tried to write rhymed verses poetry. One such poem, began; Earthward bound glides the gulls toward the cliffs below,The bird, himself, like a piece of heaven, downward drifting slow. The poem continued (and I can’t remember the words now) by depicting the seagull as it morphed into…

Summary: My follow up labs are stable. I’m still waiting on my appointment with my cancer doctor for our next strategy. Longer Version: I know that some people are interested in what’s happening with my cancer. I shared on Jan 4th that some of my lab values were surging. I made an appointment with my…

Remarriage Last time I described how the divorce from objective observation of reality in finding truth, or some call it reason, occurred.
