Sad day for Red Sox Nation. Â In honor of the man who didn’t hold the ball, I’m reposting the deleted “lost” chapter to Timely Persuasion set at the 1946 World Series, plus the accompanying commentary. Deleted Scenes: Pesky Held the Ball? Commentary 7.5: Seven and a Half Cents So long, #6. Â This one’s for you.
Free TP for BTTF Anniversary
I didn’t realize it until a few hours ago, but today is the 27th anniversary of the original theatrical release of Back to the Future. In honor of this red letter date in the history of cinema, the Amazon Kindle eBook of Timely Persuasion will be FREE on July 4th. (If only I had a…
Googlewhack
Paraphrasing Ben Acker: “You’ve never seen a Googlewhack; now you own one.” (This entry happens to land on April 12th, whack…)
First Anniversary, Four Years Later
Time flies. Timely Persuasion was released the last time February 29th rolled around, so I suppose today’s the day to celebrate on the authentic intercalary date. Sincere words of thanks and praise go out to everyone who bought/read/reviewed/referenced TP over the last 4 years. Books are written to be read (sorry, Jeff Tweedy), and each…
Of The Year – 2011
After a so so year for albums in 2010, this time around I actually have enough candidates for a proper top 10. 1. Pink Strat — Bahamas This record came out in Canada in 2009, but just came out in the US in 2011. (Yay, time travel!) Quietly snuck up on me as my go…
His Name Is My Name Too

Â A time traveling other me? Â Or maybe just a bona fide coincidence? He hasn’t made any updates in over a year, but from what’s there we…
3:11pm, 311s Day
Someone bought a TP eBook via Smashwords at 3:11pm on 11/11/11. I’m easily amused…
Friendly Persuasion
I’d never heard of this book/movie before last week.
Newermind Track by Track
Been (mostly) digging Spin’s cleverly titled Newermind cover album in honor of the 20th anniversary of Nirvana’s Nevermind.  Song by song thoughts: “Smells Like Teen Spirit” covered by the Meat Puppets Great choice of band to kick things off, great cover that’s both true to the original while performed in an Unplugged-ish Meat Puppets style. “In…
Ramblings VI
I seem to have hit another of those lengthy posting lags while the world gets in the way. Â Ramblings time: Been digging the new Back To The Future Game from Telltale. Â It’s essentially BTTF IV, starting off 6 months after the trilogy ends in 1986 and has Marty bouncing back and forth between 1931 and…
