Feeling thankful for what I have.
Food, a nice place to live in a city that I love, a wonderful girl and loads of good friends. A good portion of the world is not so lucky.
Perspective is a good thing.
Eschewing the Oxford comma — that’s something else I’m thankful for.
The Patrick Henry, Roanoke, Virginia, February 2024
Formerly The Patrick Henry Hotel, it opened in 1925. It’s got its own share of ghost stories, and one of them is pretty intense.
It kinda looks like it could be haunted, you know what I mean?
Benny Marconi’s is the best pizza place in Roanoke.
Look at the size of that slice. (I placed it next to that full-seized coffeepot for reference.) And it doesn’t cost much either.
Granted, there is nothing quite like a slice of New York pizza, but this is a superlative effort.
Impspired Volume 13 features three of my poems.
Impspired in the United Kingdom released its 13th volume today, featuring three of my poems: “At the Coffee Shop,” “Autumn Girl” and “A Poet’s Short Note to His Muse.” (These pieces were previously published online in Impspired Issue 26.)
You can purchase a paperback copy of Impspired Volume Thirteen right here over at Amazon.
As always, I am grateful to Editor Steve Cawte for allowing me to see my work published by such an outstanding literary magazine!
The Downtown Roanoke Christmas Tree, just after Christmas.
Corner of Market Street and Salem Avenue, Roanoke, VA.
Starting off the New Year with some new artwork.
Courtesy of my dear friend Anna, who sent me this neurographic painting. Neurographic art is a meditative process in which artists channel their subconsciouses to create.
Thanks, Anna! Your painting now has a permanent home upon the Wall of Important Keepsakes.
A walk up Market Street in Roanoke, VA, Christmastime, 2023.
I almost said “Sorry for the funky music,” but they keep saying “Play that” and I am indeed a white boy.
I actually wanted to remove audio entirely from this video, but I can’t figure out how to do that with Youtube. (Damn it, Jim. I’m a poet, not a video editor.)

Roanoke, Virginia.
The new building facing Campbell Avenue is coming along nicely.
This video was shot from Salem Avenue to the north. (Roanoke, Virginia.)
