- Remember to book an appointment at the book store.
- Go forth on the fourth day of the month.
- The light bulb was light to carry.
- I got the dirt on dirt.
- The golf course was coarse to play on.
- What does reel life in the movies have to do with real life?

Ron Murdock has lived and worked in Western Canada all his life, and will continue to do so until his last day on Planet Earth. He has a good number of interests and hobbies which include dogs, freight trains, baseball and astronomy. Ron wants to know what the truth is, and nothing but the truth, and will do what research it takes to find it. The best compliment he can get is when a person says his writing, or what he says, gets them seeking.
