So, the old guy got to where he needed to be doing something creative. I missed being with PBS and doing live shows, long hours editing (ok not really, I didn't like the long hours, or the low pay). But it still beckons at times. So here I am writing a series of books on Commander Bob and Commander Carrol in the Navy SEALS.
I took ideas from my time in the Navy and many of the countries that I visited which were used for locations, and you will find that if you google these places they really exist, from the streets to the cafes.
My real job is in healthcare, presently the Director of Facilities at the Navy Hospital in Cuba. The hospital overlooks the water in Guantanamo Bay and is almost everything I need. So, enjoy what I have written, and I hope it brightens your day.

This book is mostly a work of non-fiction, I think.
Journal is a brief and selective autobiographical collection of personal events that I had thought were partly stumbling blocks, and partly building blocks in my life. I also believed them to be more or less resolved, until now. The opening chapter, "William" is taken from the most recent of a long-running series of real-life dreams I had from childhood to present day, and the majority of the personal events in this book are factual. The rest I'm still trying to figure out, as the experience of writing Journal has left me wondering where the facts end and the fiction begins. The flood of inspiration that came to me, as I anxiously typed out what felt more like urgent dictation than quiet inspiration, now has me doing research on my family history to try to determine which parts were waking dreams, and which are real.
I still have a lot of work to do, and much to learn, to find out who William really is.
– Robert Thompson
"I'm in bed, staring at the ceiling, just lucid enough to ponder on the thought that I'm 60 years old, and I've been having this same dream as long as I can remember. It's always the same, always ending right when I reach for the doorknob...except this time; all of a sudden, I'm allowed into the room."
