Captain’s Log, Stardate 090818 Late last week we entered orbit around a lush, wet world known to the native populations as Blue Earth. Disappointingly, the soil is of the brown variety and not blue as advertised, but it is still… Read More ›
Discovery
My semi-fictionalized adventures aboard the NCC-39R Discovery as my co-pilot and fearless science officer (he failed his security exams) travel into parts unknown…
Homeception
Homeception is when you take your new home and park it in the driveway beside your childhood home so that when you look out your dining room window, you are staring into the kitchen of your youth. This is the… Read More ›
Living Free Means Hard Work
*Another update in my personal saga as I search for a means to commit mobile fiction. It’s been a busy few months and, yes, my writing has slowed but not to worry – I’ll be back on track soon. Eric… Read More ›

Throughout this process I had intended to take pictures and, ambitiously, even considered a video. What I ended up with was one very drab photo which is probably for the best. (I’m not sure our antics overlayed with a sustained censor BLEEEEEEEEEEP would’ve been all that useful.)

Previously, I mentioned how our motorhome, Discovery, carries a pocket dimension, an extra-dimensional space sorta like the Tardis. What I hadn’t realized is Discovery also has it’s own rules for time as well. Maybe it’s in the way it bends… Read More ›
Giving It All Away Without Getting Scammed
A few weeks ago I wrote about scaling down our lives for our coming adventure. Decades of living “large” has presented the biggest challenge to moving into our new motor home. Whether through online listings, gifts to friends and relatives,… Read More ›
