A short excerpt from the 2010 novel Too Far by Rich Shapero:
“A new universe,” the Dream Man said. “Remember?”

Take your pants off
I love bizarre videos made for no other reason than the fun of creating and sharing. Plus, I know some of the guys in this.

Video made with the trio of songs “Egyptian Kings/Jardin/Rainbow” from the 1974 album Celestial Ocean.

The Frodoship of the Bling
I could use a trip to Rivendell.
The Shining
Writing a book is hard work!
