Quiz Time

For some reason, I’m feeling a little nostalgic today. The rumor is that this is an old photograph of the members of the Varsity Cross country team representing a certain U.S. Military Academy some time ago I realize very few of the massive throng of Carson readers have personally met the author, but I wonder if anyone can find Carson in this ancient photo?

Life Purpose: A Brief Retrospection

Life Purpose: A Brief Retrospection This piece is a little different from my usual reading selections in that it is devoid of humor, silliness, romance or fictional adventures.  Having said that, please keep reading though, because I will not allow myself to gum it up in a sloppy quagmire of soporific wordsmithing. At least, that is what I am hoping. I’ve made a garbage truck worth of mistakes in Read More

The Lady with the Shiny Gun

“So, when are you finally bringing him in?” “Well sir, I guess when luck comes my way, hopefully sooner than later.” She smiled that cute innocent little girl smile, batted her deadly eyelashes with practiced skill, then continued: “I’ve never failed you before, have I?” “No, you’re one of our best and most effective operatives.  But this can’t be too difficult, right?
