Anachronist: A TIme Travel Adventure

Image
  Hello Fans, This past week really didn’t see anything exciting go on except getting ready for the Moon Launch on April 1 st . (Fingers Crossed) The picture for this week is of my parents who both passed many years ago now but still miss them every day. Wish my mother had been able to know our boys but she left us for the next chapter way back in 1995, years before Deb and I even married. Pops though hung around till 2009 and this weekend he would have been 97. Love and miss you!  Alright as I promised last week, here is my review of   Anachronist: A Time Travel Adventure  the Infinity Engines Book 1, by  Andrew Hastie .  I will start with; this was a wonderful book narrated by  Rupert Degas . Ruperts character voicings was excellent and his ability to make you feel the intensity of the moment was extraordinary.  The adventure begins with a young man putting in his community service time for his civil infractions shall we say. He gets i...

Musical Family

  Greetings My Loyal Fans, This past week has been, well, slow! Spring Break is in full swing here in Florida so my alter ego had only a small audiovisual job early in the week. Most corporations do not book large events this time of year as a ton of peeps are on vacation. They did roll out the Artimis II rocket back to the pad so at the moment the moon rocket is scheduled to launch April 1 st ! My alter ego will be handling a media event for this launch so fingers crossed. As I said last week, I started a new audiobook Anachronist: A Time Travel Adventure. As I listen mostly while driving and with not being on the road much this week I am still working on it. I hope to have it completed for next week and give you my thoughts.  Since I do not have a book to review I will chat a little about our family history that will explain this week’s picture. You see I come from a family with a strong musical history on my mother’s side. I know that my great aunt co-composed some music th...

The Pirate Who Learned to Love

  Hello Everyone, Let’s start out with it has been a slow week for my Alter Ego as spring break kicks off. However this worked out as we had some errands to run. I did take care of the AV duties for a fun fundraiser for the second year in a row. (This week’s Pic) This event goes with a James Bond theme making it glamours and fun all at the same time. Man did they auction off a couple really nice trips to Venice raising good money for abused children.  As some of you know we are still waiting on the Moon rocket to launch and we now have a new target date, April 1 st ! We will see!  I have started a new audiobook but it will take me a couple weeks to get through this one so be on the lookout for my review of Anachronist: A Time Travel Adventure. Enjoying it so far!  Now this doesn’t mean I do not have a book review for you. As you might remember a few weeks back I met a fellow author Kieth Carson better known as  Captain Kidd Carson  who authors children’s bo...

Fifty Degrees South

Image
  Hello Everyone, This week’s picture is from an event that my alter ego took care of this past week. Included setting and engineering a larger conference that I took the helm for the audio duties. I set up and balanced eleven mic’s but in the end we only used seven. In respect to running sound for bands etc this was small fry but still the largest mix I have run in a while. All went very smooth and my assistant who we thought would have the video operation, but the client had it covered was still a big help. It brought back some of my memories working in the studios and of some of the really large events I handled years ago in Chicago and Las Vagas. I miss those days!  Over the past week we also were finally able to gather all of the clan to celebrate our oldest sons 24 th  B day. Good meal, good times, and our favorite server, Juan! Now also this past week I was able to take in a great audiobook!  Fifty Degrees South,  by  M. M. Holt.  I truly loved ...

  Hello, Greetings as we enter this last week of February already. It seems the year is flying by fast as I feel like it was just last week that we rolled out the new book. As for how the book is doing, being an unknown author or as I say Storyteller, the book has done alright so if you haven’t taken the plunge yet be sure to pick it up. My personal preferred version is the audible version.  Inanna Swynford This past week after our cruise I had a sinus infection show up and it wasn’t fun with the crazy pollen we have currently here in Florida, but I am all better now. I was a bit tuckered out from the cruise and then I hit a busy week combined with the sinus issue so I was a little worn out by Friday. On a positive note we did take advantage of a good deal and booked a new 5 day cruise through  Metzger Travel & Adventure  for next December to replace the one we had to cancel last December. Cozumel here we come! Picture was taken during our recent cruise at Celebr...

Bahamas Cruise

  Ahoy Me Maties, First, SORRY this is a touch late. Let’s start with the major accomplishment of one year of a weekly BLOG under my belt. The first week was Feb 18th2025. Seems like I just started it a few weeks ago. I went from zero to a steady building group of weekly viewers. Thanks for joining me each week my loyal fans! In this week’s Blog I will tell you all about our latest cruise vacation and next week I will have a new Audiobook review for you. Where do I start, ohh yeah, WOW WHAT A GREAT TIME! (Much needed!) For starters Carnival was hit with a major IT issue that brought down their system and a couple other cruise lines. This meant our debarkation day was a bit hectic but really they handled it at Port Canaveral very smoothly. We were about four hours late boarding from our assigned time but when we did start boarding it was quick and smooth. Still after boarding their main internal system were down so anything that was server based including internet. Except for the f...

PIRATE IN THE MIST

  Wally & Deb 2023 Hello my Friends, As you read this we are either packing the last items for our Bahama cruise or we are already aboard the Carnival Freedom. We love this ship as we have been on her twice before. The two prior times deck one and two forward but this time we are deck six forward with a window overlooking the bow. Looking forward to visiting Nassau once again, I love Nassau! This time we are going to hopefully finally make it to the Pirates of Nassau Museum. Pictures probably on the next blog.  Here is the Audio Book Review!!! I had the pleasure of listening to  Pirate In The Mist  by  Elizabeth Rose . This is the first book in the Second In Command series and was narrated by  Brian J. Gill  who did a great job! His ability for characters that had their own distinct voice was superb. Bravo Sir!  This story was exactly my style as you basically follow two main characters, Brody and Gwen as they fall in love. It was easy to stay...
