COLLEGE BOY could easily be subtitled Life on Easy Street or Made in the Shade.

Ed’s young, spoiled, apathetic, takes a whole lot for granted. He doesn’t like to push himself, physically or mentally. He just wants to… slide and glide.

Ed’s a Zoomer.

MUSIC BY THE SEA is a timeless tale of empowerment, of emancipation, of never giving up the ship.

Widowed, she has come alone to the sea from the flatlands of Illinois. She has come with hope and expectation.

But soon, like the story of her life, hope and expectation dissolve into quiet bitterness. She decides it might be best to simply wade into the waves and let the vast ocean carry her, and her precious cello, away.

AFTER THE WEDDING is a tough tale too often told.

Too much booze at his bud’s wedding. Too much grass. Too many pills. And now this crazy chick who jumped in his car when the cops whirled in and chased everyone off.

She’s blitzed. Practically comatose. Must’ve consumed too much of something. Entirely incoherent.

It’s not just the illegal drugs; it’s the prescription meds here in these United States of Drug & Alcohol Abuse.

THE PASS CATCHER is a cautionary tale for all of us who love the game.

A knee injury sidelined the pass catcher before the start of his third NFL season. But the damage had already been done. Four years of high school ball. Four years of college ball. Two years of pro ball.

Ten years of whacks to the head. Too many concussions to count. This is the once legendary pass catcher’s life today.
