The Gentleman Bounty Hunter Writing Project

Published on 2012-01-19 04:23:00

There are four writing projects that I am planning on completing this year. I would like to get them planned out and written well before the end of the year, but things do come up. However, I don't see any reason why they can't be finished up and ready to go for next Christmas. I don't have any set order for completing them, although I am hoping to get The Easter Wolf up and running by Easter in order to give people an alternative history of the celebration of Easter from an American marketing [..]

I Am Not Wrangling Dirty Plates For You

Published on 2011-12-29 15:39:00

True story--when I met my wonderful friend Babs Worthington in Switzerland last week, she had a small task for me. This required a day trip to one of the cantons of Switzerland I rather like so this was no hardship. The task was simple--check on a young lady who was a student at the school they run in Switzerland for kids who study abroad. I won't name names, but this is the school that the Actor Billy Zane (I am told) went to for his education. Anyway, the young lady has a parent in Florida a [..]

Gentleman Bounty Hunter Prologue

Gentleman Bounty Hunter Prologue This is a re-edit of a piece that I did last year. I think that this will work as a prologue to a collection of short stories in the Gentleman Bounty Hunter genre.

A Mission Before Christmas

Published on 2011-12-15 16:31:00

Babs stopped by this morning and we greeted her like a long lost companion; at one point, her whooping and pacing around caused a flappitystack of golf magazines to go into the water, right off the deck chair on the Admiral Hassenpfeffer. I suppose we should have filched all of them out of the water, but the current snatched them away and churned them out. At least the Captain Morgan stopped rolling long enough for us to pick it up. Her exuberance would light a city full of dark streets. Babs i [..]

Baby, I Never Meant to Break Your Heart (But I'm Glad I Did)

Published on 2011-10-02 17:02:00

Listen, baby. I know we've been through some things, but you have to believe me. I didn't mean to break your heart. I was trying to break my own heart. That's right. Me leaving you was a case of what we like to call self-sabotage in this whole crazy dating life. Sure, we had some laughs. But when you moved in and put your stuff where I keep my stuff, that's when I realized that our stuff was always going to infringe on my stuff. And my stuff is pretty neat, at least to me. Your stuff is soft a [..]

Travel Scams For the Butt Pack Impaired

Published on 2011-09-18 16:28:00

I know that Rick Steves is popular and all, but I live in Europe and these things sound kind of far-fetched. If someone came up to me in Munich, for example, and tried to be my friend, I would think that they are clearly not normal. There's a scam that happens to people with German license plates when they drive through the Czech Republic. Czechs will pull them over, steal from them, and run away. At least I think that's what the scam is. A street thief will just steal from you and run away. All [..]

I found the GBH folder, archived long ago. These images were in it. At one time, most, if not all of these, figured into the "back story" of Norman and his strange hobby.

This is Why I Hate Traveling Without My Nunchucks

I believe that it was a couple of years ago that I realized that I had to stop strapping my nunchucks to my thighs when traveling. The truth is, I rather dislike being without them. I must have gotten onto two or three dozen flights with them on my p
