I try to have a mood or a rhythm for a chapter.
I consider myself an artist. God granted me some gifts so that I could express myself artistically.
The very nature of cool is that you think about it too much and it becomes uncool.
I'm just a simple guy swimming in a sea of sharks.
Life's too short to drink bad wine or smoke poor cigars.
Every bowling center should have a house pro.
It's a joy to be recognized and to have people that are interested in what you do. That can pick up your whole day.
Death, of course, should not be feared, but awaited with certain wonder. To die was to step across a threshold into a new world, unknown, unimaginable.
I am known by many names, but you may call me. . . Tim.
Insects leave (Madagascar periwinkle) Catharanthus roseus out of their diets. So, for that matter, do deer. The reason is that the plants are loaded with alkaloids so potent that they are the source of vincristine and vinblastine. These are drugs important in routines of chemotherapy for treating Hodgkin's disease and certain forms of leukemia.
I prefer to channel my problems and inner demons through a character. Another persona. That protects me and my family. I can get my frustrations out that way.
