    Acid washed genes.

    Deoxyribonucleic acid, that is. My genes are awash with the stuff. And now it has the stain fighting power of bleach! No, not really - but it felt like the appropriate title for this article which is the second in my "What's in Heath's Genes?" series. A month ago I spit in a cup and sent it off to be tested - if you don't recall that you can read more about it in What's in your genes? Well my results are in ...

    Music Makes a People Come Together

    Note: I originally published this in 2003, and it's long, so grab a soda and sit for a while. I felt that during this critical time in our country, when separation is becoming the norm, instead of inclusion it might be time to remind everyone that Music Makes a People Come Together. Because look around...everywhere you turn it's heartache, it's everywhere that you go... Also note: If you are able to accurately...

    There are Too Many People on the Earth

    I have big concerns for the stability of the planetary crust. Not only are we blasting past 7 BILLION people on the planet (remember when it was a big deal ten+ years ago when child # 6 Billion was born?), but a lot of those 7 billion people are also obese. This is old news now: The world's population is forecast to hit 7 billion next year, the vast majority of its growth coming in developing and, in many c...

Affairs of State 2010.

It’s become an annual tradition for us to go to the State Fair at least one time when it’s in town. This year we only had a short time to get there because they not only moved it ahead a month, but the duration has been shortened to a mere 3 weeks.

Budget crisis anyone?

Unfortunately it was not only the timing of the fair that was reduced this year, it was also the quantity and quality of the rides. A warning for those of you buying tickets or wristbands – there are very few rides this year that are worth the More >

Big Fun, California, Sacramento, State Fair

Three days ago a pilgrim arrived at the shop I run on Fourth Street. I was fussing with boxes in a back corner when the tinkling of the old rusty bell above the door signaled a customer. It was a rare sound – customers weren’t in the mood for rare books these days, what with the economy in such a slump – so I quickly pushed a box of old magazines into a shelf and hurried to the front of the store.

I paused at the top of the three stairs that led down to the cashier desk – a pilgrim? More >

Have I mentioned lately how uninspired I am, lately?

I look to my right and there is a stack of books just waiting for my red pen to edit them. Good books too. Books that you probably want to buy some day. Books that mock me relentlessly with their mockyness.

Do you fall asleep at your computer?

And then there are the books in progress. Add another stack of those, only the stack is on a hard drive mocking me with all its mockinglyness.

And it’s not that I’m truly uninspired – why just the other morning I woke up in the middle of More >

A couple years ago I burned my right hand, in what was a very foolish maneuver. Basically I grabbed for a pan that was just under 350 degrees in heat. There was a sizzle and the blistering started almost immediately causing severe injury to my hand, but this was not the first time that I injured the hand, and I’d like to tell you a little story about it.

Let us travel back in time to the early teen years when I was in 6th and 7th grade.
