So far, it looks like there is only one response to the contest, now after 5 days. Just so that I don’t grow old like Ollie before the answers and the winner is announced, I will give my readers another day (6/3/25) evening, 8:01 pm, before I post the correct answers and declare the winner and go on to other things that may be more exciting, like listening to the word “Perfect” being uttered by Read More

I believe I went overboard on the Ollie quiz for my readers. After looking at it, I realized it was intimidating and required intense reading and study. My fault. I have now made it more reasonable to attempt. Seems like I was acting like a high school English teacher who didn’t know how to have fun. Try it now. SRCarson Read More

Ollie Knowledge Challenge Some of my other challenges were not too difficult and required lucky guesses basically. But this one is a ten-question test of my reader’s knowledge of the famous Ollie.  Don’t worry, they are not trick questions, and the answers are readily available if you don’t know them right off hand. There will be prizes for the winners. Who are the winners? Anyone who g Read More

This year, he was back at Arlington, participating in the Flag In event, where just like every Memorial Day, The 3rd Infantry Regiment — the Old Guard, allowed the old man with a cane to plant flags at the grave sites of soldiers. He avoided the crowd at the Amphitheatre services, because well, he didn’t need the attention, even here.  He was relieved that he didn’t see the Free Palestinian prot Read More

I couldn’t help it. I had to post this beauty one more time. It brings back fond memories, for sure, and it will massage your soul, and let it soar with high majesty and comfort. Go ahead. Take a deep breath, and it will sprout you strong wings, if you dare to allow it, and you will fly with the freedom of an eagle, soaring with strength and power, and sometimes, you drop like a rock, but then, it Read More

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?

She walked in and sat in a four-seat booth with high wooden backs because she wanted a little bit of privacy, if it existed, at a beach bar. She saw that there were a few couples scattered about the actual bar drinking and watching the baseball game. Some were men slugging down beers and obviously looking for women, and others were couples who seemed too sunburned and hoped the beer would cool them off.  But Read More

Your comments are right on and therefore, all correct. My first screenplay draft I wrote today was about The Adventures of Ollie, the old man. I have to be careful with him though, because he is quite the interesting old dude. That’s because I’m also writing his novel, which will be much more detailed and will reveal much more about him, that will never be possible to reveal on a TV series. Y Read More
