The Big Bamboozle. Were Phillip Marshall And His Kids Murdered Because Of Something He Wrote, Or Was About To Reveal? Or Was It Indeed A Murder-Suicide?
February 4th, 2013 was the date and it should have been like any other date for the Marshalls. Author Phillip Marshall was at home with his two children, Alex and Macaila Marshall. Instead, it was a day that left one neighborhood and community in Calaveras County, California, saddened, stunned, and confused. In a gated golf course community known as Forest Meadows, in one of the region's most exclusive neighborhoods, and in the home of a career pilot turned successful author, police reported that deputies found Phillip Marshall dead in a pool of blood, inside the front door.

Trillion Dollar Apples, Spiderman, The World Wide Web, And The Most Important Thing We Have
August 1, 1774 It's always been there. We've always needed it to survive. What is interesting is that over 2500 years ago, the ancient Greeks identified it as one of the four elemental pieces of creation-along with earth, water, and fire. It is of course the air we breathe. While it is a charming, yet primitive notion, it lasted for centuries because there was little reason to argue the point until the late 1700s.

Dating In The 21st Century: From A Man's Perspective
Dating in the 21st century has become much more complex than it was when I first started dating. Looking back, I now have four decades of dating experience to pull from, and yet, I still haven't figured out what happened to the process of building relationships with the opposite sex. I remember the simpler times. I remember them with a fond admiration and concern for those that are living and growing up in this new world of ours. How much, I wonder, are they missing out on in the world of instant gratification, "casual encounters", "NSAF", and "FWB".

Cordelia And The Magical, Mysterious, Links
It was a Saturday in September when I woke up to see the oddest of things, a tiny little fairy, was floating over my head. I laid there, frozen, from the shock of seeing Tinkerbell floating above me. This couldn't be real, I thought to myself, as the tiny little lady hovered around, looking down on me as she descended to landing on my chest. I honestly thought I was losing my mind. How could something like this be real?

Chronicles Of Hot Chocolate Meetings After Cold Winter Nightmares And A Blood Stained Wilderness. A Reporter Is Out Of Her League With An Unlikely Hero And The Story Of Her Life Time If She Can Survive To Write It.
Sun dipped behind the trees, giving way to the frigid night air. As the sun disappeared, darkness enveloped the land, only bright dots in the sky shining on earth from lightyears away. As the icy, night air washed across the land, sending even the deer, the squirrels, and the rabbit in from the cold, a peaceful calm followed. The world was as quiet as a mortuary with nothing but the occasional rustling of leaves beaten by the gusts washing over the trees. Occasionally, a wolf would howl at the stars, reminding those that were still aware, the top of the food chain was still out there, somewhere.
