As interested as I am in Artificial Intelligence (AI), and as pervasive as it is becoming in our daily lives, I seem to only manage one blog post per year about it. Suffice it to say that a lot can, and does, happen in a year! So, consider this your annual update. Progress! For example,…

I have written previously about the first five Menendez Miracles. And I have written more recently about the roller coaster of Menendez legal ups and downs in this frequently-updated post: If I Could Hold a Press Conference. And now we have Menendez Miracle #6: Parole Hearing Scheduled Last week, after yet another lengthy,…

It’s ti-i-me! Time for RootsTech, that is (March 6-8, 2025). And time for my favorite feature, Relatives at RootsTech. The largest annual genealogy conference in the world is a hybrid event.

I usually spend Christmas with Jane, my best-friend-since-we-were-14. Usually, she flies from Boise (where we grew up) to my house in Albuquerque.

I’m not writing much these days. A regular monthly newsletter and an occasional blog post. Social media posts. Emails. That’s about it for now. I’m also not participating in NaNoWriMo, but that’s what I always think of in November. And that’s what inspired me to write this post. NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month,…

(Originally published 10/27/24 and updated a number of times.) I wish I could hold a press conference like Los Angeles District Attorney Gascón does when he’s overwhelmed with inquiries about the Menendez case. I’ve received more media requests in the past 30 days than I have in the previous 30 years! I’ve responded to many…

It’s been 30 years since I served as Juror #9 on Erik’s first jury. In that time I’ve observed lengthy periods of drought when it comes to public interest in the Menendez brothers murder case. But when it rains it pours, and we’re currently experiencing a flash flood. This time, the interest of media outlets…

I once wrote a post called Those Magic Little Words (that help you get organized). The point of it was that there are lots of organizing methods, and different ways of describing them — what I call “magic little words”. And the BEST method, or catchphrase, is the one that works for YOU. Just…
