My Art

All Aliens Dispursed

I’ve always found milkweed to look like some kind of alien pod as they get ready to release their seeds in the autumn.

As fall is coming to a close, the pods have sent out their “alien” seeds to create more “monsters.”

Music I’ve Found

Etta James – Purple Rain

During one of my Peloton post-ride stretches, instructor Sam Yo played Etta James covering Prince’s “Purple Rain.”

It was awesome.


My Dorky Song

Running Late but Don’t Know Why

Ahh, one of those morning when I woke up on time, but everything just seemed to go in slow motion.


I’ve Written

What Ben Didn’t Know…

It’s November, time to hunker down during Novel Quest/Nanowrimo and create more stories!

“The Driver” is scheduled to be released December 1st, so that gives you time to read the first two stories in the series.

Check out www.whatbendidntknow.com to read for free, listen, or buy!


One More Thing…

Leica M Edition 70

Christmas is coming, and if you’re wondering what to get me, may I suggest the Leica M Edition 70 for Christmas.

There are only 250 being sold, so you better act fast. Don’t worry, it won’t set you back too much, just about $23,000.00, and I’ll also get a roll of black and white film in a platinum container.


Thanks always for your interest!

If you would be so kind to share this newsletter with your friends, I would appreciate it!

See you next week!
