The Day the Navy Chased a Tic Tac: The Nimitz Encounter
They were supposed to be doing nothing more exotic than a training hop: a little touch-and-go practice over the Pacific, the kind of routine that leaves a pilot bored and quietly grateful for coffee. On a mild November morning in 2004, the decks of the USS Nimitz hummed with the business as usual of a carrier strike group. Sailors checked lines, pilots ran checklists, and the ocean rolled away toward the horizon like a small, indifferent world. Then a blip... tiny and inscrutable... began to rearrange the assumptions of everyone who saw it.

The Grace of Being Unapologetically Oneself: A Reflection on Diane Keaton’s Enduring Truth
By Lynn Myers Published on Vocal Media — October 2025 When a legend like Diane Keaton passes, the world does not simply lose a performer. It loses a compass.

The Cartographer’s Promise
The year was 1571, and the ocean was not yet tamed by man — a living creature, unpredictable and mysterious. In a tiny port town just across the water from Lisbon, a mapmaker named Mateo Alvarado hunched at his desk, the pungent aroma of ocean and parchment-old thick in the room. His hand shook a little as he drew a thin line of shore — a location no captain had ever come back to tell tales about.

The Forgotten Fields: Part II – Football
Autumn smells like football. Not the polished kind with pyrotechnics and halftime performers, the kind that lives in your bones. The kind where the air bites, the grass is slick, and your breath shows in the huddle.

Plague Doctor’s Journal
The journal was found in a wooden chest beneath the floorboards of an old house in Venice. Its pages were brittle, its ink faded, but the handwriting was elegant and precise. On the first page was a single line written in Latin: “To heal the living, one must walk with the dying.”

Crown of Dust
In the heart of an old English town stood a crumbling mansion that had long been forgotten. The locals called it the Ashbourne House. Its gates were rusted, its windows clouded, and ivy crawled like veins up its walls. But once, it had been filled with laughter, music, and light.
