Backwoods Blog
After two years of steady nagging from my friend/editor/world wanderer Jen Barclay, I've finally created a website. So quit nagging, Ms. Barclay. I can say that because she's currently living in England, a safe distance away.
This will be a sporadic blog, not a daily blog. I'll sound off when I have things to report re books or film, or when I feel compelled to comment on how the great American justice system has come to the rescue of Scooter Libby, or perhaps my feelings on the humanitarian efforts of Paris Hilton (whenever such efforts might begin).
If really strapped for news, I might report exciting tales about my golf game. I am incredibly consistent right now, having shot 77 one day last week, and 94 another. Let's see Tiger Woods sprinkle in that kind of variety with his scores.
I'll also be keeping my eye on Prime Minister Stephen "Puddn'head" Harper, and the jackass who runs the Ontario Provincial Police, Julian Fantino, who has publicly stated that he has no problem with a dozen of his officers standing back and watching while two TV cameraman get the shit kicked out of them. Ah, Scooter Libby would love it here. Cheney too, for that matter.
On the professional side of things, I've just finished the first draft of a new book. The story deals with a murky political situation in a small Ontario city, revolving around a proposed landfill to be situated on prime farmland. Country noir meets city noir.
Stay tuned.

Lord help us. If I could get a beer here, we wouldn't need the Jordan House anymore.
Brad Smith - blogger? et tu brute?
You must be a Taurus if it took you two years. (and no, I don't mean the car)
Now if you could get that score down to the consistent low 80s you might not be so hard on those poor misunderstood politicians, bless their black little hearts...
