Marty’s photo of the day #4718: These are chubs and sergeant majors, photographed last week in an area of ocean near Belize called “The Aquarium.” If you can, zoom in on some of the chubs (the larger fish). Their expressions make them appear to be the happiest fish in the world. And they loved swimming […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4717: Hey everyone! My lack of daily posts has not been because Deb and I were disappeared by ICE or anything. Instead, we returned to Belize for a week of incredible snorkeling and wildlife watching. The island we were on had internet service, but it was slower than old-fashioned landline […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4714: Everything blooming at the Essen Wildlife Refuge. So, for the next few days, we’ll take a tour. Okay, these are fungi, not flowers. We’ll call it “fungi-ing.”

I’m typing this with an icepack duct taped to my shoulder. Deb and I have lived in the middle of th,e Essen Wildlife Refuge for 29 years, and it wasn’t until 2 years ago that a moose charged us (the one in this picture). At least that moose gave us enough notice to dive out […]
Whew! I just finished the first draft of the sequel to The Silver Squad: Rebels With Wrinkles. My wife, Deb, has suggested a title, which just might stick: The Silver Squad Rides Again. I started writing in August, but this sequel gave me the worst bouts of writer’s block I’ve ever had. I kept waiting […]
