As the close of the 67th California League regular season comes to an end, so does another year closer to the end of a Bakersfield baseball era. A club that has had over 200 former and current major league ball players is on the edge of extinction, but it’s not the first time.

The state of minor league baseball in Bakersfield is what its always been in the past few years after the departing of the Bakersfield Dodgers. Bleak at best. I really think that Bakersfield as whole won't even notice when and if the Blaze are moved to the Carolina League. Sad? Yes, but...

Earlier today I participated in the annual Great Strides walk to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation held at the Park at Riverwalk. It was a hot morning for this time of year and the heat did take it's toll on me. I got fatigued fairly quickly, but was able to get through the walk...

A huge thanks to all the people who made my Barnes and Noble book signing so much fun. Peg Connely was such a great sidekick... emphasis on the word 'kick'. She was very good at 'prodding' me to get the signing part right. Dana showed up & took pics. And all the...

I must admit, I'm a bit nervous about my book signing coming up this weekend at Barnes & Noble. I wrote Blood Harvest about ten years ago. I have lots of very polite rejection letters from publishers. Then after my aneurysm I was fortunate enough to get involved with The...

The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate of food does not stake a claim for it, becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that...
