For Early Risers Who Wish It Could Be Morning All Day

Launch Day

March 9, 2021 By Morning Guy

Available now on Amazon!

Kindle eBook or Paperback.

A novel of adventure, discovery,
love, and redemption —

all in a romanticized wilderness
where
the sky and the mountains
and the mist
merge into one.

Yes, fiction.

Never let it be said
that I don’t stick my neck out.

The Mother Of All Soups

March 7, 2021 By Morning Guy


Ahh… butternut squash soup.

My Octopus Teacher

March 6, 2021 By Morning Guy

This is a fascinating, creatively filmed and edited documentary. I highly recommend it, whether you’re an octopus fan or not. And if you’re not, you will be.

Plus, it has a beautiful, haunting original soundtrack.

Skis, Poles, and…

March 4, 2021 By Morning Guy


Note to self: Next time you drive to a mountaintop for downhill skiing, bring your ski boots.

D’oh!

Fortunately, I had forgotten to off-load the X-Country skis and boots, so the beautiful, warm, sunny day was not lost.

Yet Another Trip Around The Sun

March 1, 2021 By Morning Guy


Sometime between 11:59 PM and 12:00 AM, I turned another year older. But not Marlene. She keeps getting younger.


However, I can still legitimately claim to be sixteen. Yet, I’ll never be allowed to forget that unfortunate midnight squirrel incident.

Delivery To Mars

February 23, 2021 By Morning Guy


Amazing actual footage of the Perseverance Mars landing. I’m thinking at least one of these NASA people did really well in math class.
