Nothing is Ever as Beautiful

Now and then on this little blog I talk about a little acting class I used to take and some of the wonderful people I met there. Like the guy in the UPS shirt. Then there was this girl, who’s talent as an actress was immediately apparent and who’s added talent as a writer became [...]

boy|man – SCV Film Festival Thoughts

We didn’t win. But we didn’t expect to. And cliche as it sounds we were very honored just to be included. This is the second festival boy|man has been in and although it was much smaller than even the one in Idaho, it was a far superior experience. Ramon, Jennifer and the rest of the [...]

The Compound & Old Friends

When I was 13 or 14 this kid moved into my neighborhood and started riding the same bus to school with me. For some reason we were instant enemies, coming very very close to blows many times.

Today Was Interesting

Boy of Blue

Good Old Fasioned Competition

Last night we had some friends over. I barbecued in the balmy 40 degree desert air and then we had a wii Bowling Tournament. Dani & Tanya were the best. Bride made the best faces. And JM was the best loser. Maybe next time JM. As always, there are more pictures in the GALLERY. – [...]

The Artist

We Staley’s are creative people. By we I mean the only other two Staley’s I know. And since this is the Daily Staley, they will undoubtedly be written of more and more. My brother David is an artist. And this is my Azure. She’s happy for hours with some paint or pencils or markers or [...]
