The Run-Up to the Punch Bowl
The noted author and literary scholar, Samuel Hynes, has remarked that there has been no great book on the Korean War, a significant gap in American military letters. It may be hoped that this account will help to meet at least part of that challenge. This is a narrative of John Nolans experience as a Marine rifle platoon leader in Korea in 1951, the pivotal year of the Korean War. Much of it reads like a journal, but it also includes the experiences of a half-dozen other Marine lieutenants fighting through the fog-shrouded mountains of the East-Central front during the year the war turned around. Individually, their heroism marked some of the top combat events of that time. Taken together, ...
Tickled by the Wind
This is a tale of trees that move magically below the ground. They are called Humbles because they give us wood, places to hang a swing, shade from the sun, and oxygen and ask nothing in return. Therefore, they are all humble. It starts with the birth of a new seedling named Patrick. He is joined by his friends and families and all the adventures and interactions they have with the other Humbles, animals, birds, Beings (thats us), and Unusuals (name used for cars and trucks as they are all different colors and sizes). The Humbles live in the median of the freeways and are constantly moving in their journey of life. The names of the characters are names of loved ones who have completed their life journey. I wanted to characterize their memory.

Sydney Hobart Yacht Race
The Sydney Hobart Yacht Race is the story of one of the world's greatest sporting challenges. One evening in May 1945, a small group of Sydney sailing enthusiasts decided that their planned post-Christmas cruise south to Hobart would be more enjoyable if they made it a race. And so began the story of a contest that quickly became ranked among the world's premier offshore racing events - a race that demands both immense physical and mental endurance of the individual sailor along with the coordinated effort of a close-knit team. It's a challenge where one mistake can lead to defeat, while success can deliver national and international acclaim. The Sydney Hobart Yacht Race has become an icon o...
