A recommendation about an author from Arthur, who is also an author…

I don’t do this kind of thing often, but I have been listening to books by this guy on Librivox, a free audio book app.

I am officially recommending G. A. Henty, 1832-1902. Yeah, this guy…

He was an English author and war correspondent. He wrote a ton of books, and basically invented the young adult adventure novel. Not only that, but his adventure stories cover a lot of ground, from ancient Egypt and Carthage, to Roman-era Britton, the first British invasion of Afghanistan, our Revolution and our Civil war and just about every war between. He combines actual history with fiction to craft really great stories about young people swept up in conflict. The books have a very modern feel, even though he was writing in the 1800’s.

That is my good deed for the day.

Horses…

Okay, fine, I am still posting the last photos of my recent trip to New Mexico to see my daughter Mollie start nursing college. But this day was the best day of the trip. Mollie, her boyfriend Ben, and I, on horses, beside the Rio Grande.

Mollie now shares my intense love of horses.

She is also mastering the difficult ‘horseback photography’.

Ranch dogs!

Seriously, ranch dogs!

I have already mastered horseback photography.

The Rio Grande.

To be honest, the Rio Grande is a Rio that is not so Grande, when the water is all locked up in snow in the mountains.

But it is Grande enough to drown a tumbleweed.

Ben.

Ben and Mollie.

Awww.

That picture needs more me in it.

Oh, who am I kidding… it needs all me in it!

I don’t blame you for being thirsty after lugging my ass around the high desert.

Clearin’ off those phone philes…

Make of it what you will.

They threw away super excited guy!

Sunset for the extra point.

See, it’s funny now, when it isn’t Christmas and it is over 80 degrees in San Diego.

You better be yawning.

Super excited to have finally planted wildflowers in my multi-level planter.

In fact, I might have been too excited.

I got a little carried away with the seeds. It is a jungle out there.
