On The Fly

We’re excited to present this year’s (2024) annual Christmas episode for kids! It all started in 2020 when we launched "On the Fly," and a Santa’s helper told us a great idea: audio versions of children's books. Enjoy!

The sun was setting over the Pacific Ocean as we drove South on the 5 Freeway, just entering the conservation area at Camp Pendleton. “This reminds me of raccoon (coon) hunting with Dad as a boy,” 

Life presents peculiar twists that make us ponder the universe’s mysteries. Last week, I found an unexpected book: Another Lousy Day in Paradise, A 1996 fly fishing journal by the inspiring humorist and author John Gierach. Stay with me!

This holiday season, we’re excited to share one of Edgar's Guests' delightful poems that beautifully celebrates the lasting bond of friendship. Enjoy!

A homeless man approached me. Despite his appearance, he spoke with a surprising degree of respect, asking for a dollar to buy a hot cup of coffee. What would you do?

Welcome to this week's episode of On The Fly. The previous poem was written the day after the election results. Yes, we’ve made it through another presidential election cycle. Everyone at work was gloomy, angry, frustrated, and could not understand the logic. Let's find peace.

Halloween night brings spooky fun and neighborly camaraderie. As the sun set and shadows lengthened, neighbors gathered to turn their driveways into festive candy stations, recalling a cherished handwritten note.

Meanwhile, back in Greenwood, Dr. Jon Gellborn, Ph.D., sat at his cluttered desk, the dim glow of his ancient desktop flickering as he pecked at the keyboard—the adventure continues.

"Join us. It's easier this way." He knew then that it wasn’t just a phone but something more. Welcome to GridBot - Part II.
