One thing Skippy is known for unfortunately, has been his flatulants, or farts as most people refer to them. Ever since I can remember it has been a problem. However Skippy has had fun with his “talent”.

Many people have been asking for an eBook to download in PDF format so I created low resolution files to accommodate the requests. These coffee-table-sized books are much more than just normal photo books, they are a photographically illustrated, collection of non-fictional short stories that become a cohesive short novel. All 3 volumes are interconnected [...]

To say time has flown by is almost too cliche, but it is so true. I am not one of the lucky people who remember anything before age 5, but I do remember a lot after that. As you can tell by my blogs there are a lifetime’s worth of stories in my head. And [...]
