Syren Julia
I was just a youngster when I first noticed that men and women were different. Long before I encountered puberty, I noticed that women thought differently than men. And acted differently, too. My daddy was a stern disciplinarian, but somehow, he seemed to “get me”...
Where the Clouds Are Birds
I think I know what Otis Redding had on his mind when he crooned “Sittin’ on the dock of a bay.” Only there’s no dock here. There’s no bay either, but I’m sitting on a high bluff overlooking the Parana River in Argentina, takin’ the rest of the day off. Mi amigos...

Only eight short paces would separate the aggressive young rogue and his pursuers when they finally met in the dark of an African night.
The Do-It-All 12 Gauge
All the gauges are useful for some purpose or other, and I love ’em all. But a twelve? A twelve will do damn near anything! A while ago, I reviewed Remington’s 12-gauge, V3 Tac 13. Despite its short barrel and abbreviated stock, I found it to be a truly versatile...
