Hi! I'm Paul. This is my blog. It is the best blog.

It’s time for a Paul’s Thing break—the memoir will still be there when I’m done. Progress to date? I roughed out a longish chapter about joining the US Air Force in 1973 and my experiences in officer and flight training, sent it to a couple of friends for feedback and criticism, and am now outlining […]  I still hear my mother saying that, all these years later. I’m sure my friend Ed remembers his mother saying the same thing. Over the past 23 years, my friend and motorcycle maintenance guru Ed has missed Daytona Bike Week only twice.

Gregory’s been looking for a motorcycle, and now he’s found The One: a 2014 BMW K1600 GL (that’s it on the left). It’s in San Luis Obispo, California. The plan now is for me to drive […] What a prude I’ve become, at least when it comes to pushing the rules on Facebook. A friend signed me up for a “Golden Days of Illustration” group.
