The Case of Roman Polanski
Director Roman Polanski was arrested on September 27th during a trip to the Zurich film festival, where he was to be given a lifetime achievement award for his work. The United States will attempt to extradite him in relation to the rape of a 13 year old girl in 1977.
The prosecution alleges that Polanski gave [...]
The Nebraska Tradition
For fear of talking too much about the University of Nebraska Football team, I have abstained from writing articles about them this college football season … until now.
One of the signs at the Memorial Stadium reads: Through these gates pass the greatest fans in College football. Not many who have been to Lincoln for a [...]
Bank Makes Mistake, Innocent Bystander Suffers
On August 12th, an employee of Rocky Mountain Bank sent a spreadsheet with 1300 names, address, and social security numbers to a GMail (Google email) address. Unfortunately, the person sent it to the wrong address. The data was apparently unencrypted (this is a conclusion that I have come to, based solely on RMB’s [...]

So it’s been a while…much too long. I give many thanks and apologies to Kosmo for his understanding and ability to fill the spot in my absence.
The main reason for my absence was the combination of a brutal migraine/sinus infection which kept me on the sidelines from pretty much everything for about three weeks. [...]
Inside Kosmo’s Brain
I’m seriously trying to avoid making this blog “all Kosmo, all the time”. Nonetheless, I have been focusing so much on writing the end-of-quarter short story that this makes a natural topic for today.
I’m about 5000 words into the story. The story will likely be between 10000 and 12000 words when I’m done, [...]

Straight Up – 39-13 ATS: 25-27
A decent week for Johnny G last weekend, I need the worm to turn on the ATS picks. Thanks to Kosmo for filling in with a sports article on Monday as I had to head out of town for work …. to [...]
No Fiction Today!
There will not be a new fiction story today. Oh, no. Why not? Is Kosmo running out of ideas?
Nope, nothing that bad. I have begun work on the capstone story for volume 2 of “The Fiction of Kosmo” and want to focus all my fiction energy into that at this point. The new story is [...]
Are Mark Reynolds’ Strikeouts Hurting The Diamondbacks?
Make a note of this event – it is very rare that I am going to defend a player on a rival team. All stats are prior to Wednesday’s game.
Mark Reynolds of the Diamondbacks is having a great season in an otherwise forgettable year for the Snakes (although he has been struggling quite a bit [...]
Review of St. Louis
Over the years, St. Louis has become a favorite destination for my wife and me. Many times in the past, trips to St. Louis have included a trip to the Edward Jones Dome to catch my wife’s favorite team, the St. Louis Rams. Our most recent trip, however, did not include a Rams game.
My wife [...]
The Creative Process
As I have mentioned eleventy billion times previously, I am an aspiring novelist. By “aspiring”, I mean that I have yet to produce anything long enough to be classified as a novel (although the story Key Relationships was a step in the right direction in terms of length).
Writing fiction for The Casual Observer has kick-started [...]
