So there was MojoFiction at 10:15am EST on Saturday morning, east of Indianapolis, in a park called Haspin Acres. The weather was cool enough that we could see our breath. We wore shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, just to rub it into nature’s face that we didn’t care about the temperature. Our comrades-in-race opted for... Continue Reading →
We here at MojoFiction thought it would be brilliant to run in a Spartan Race this weekend. There are several different levels of Spartan races, this one being a Spartan Sprint. How four miles is a sprint, we’re not sure. But it’s on the other side of Indianapolis so apparently there’s also a car sprint... Continue Reading →
Time magazine just released their 100 most influential people on planet Earth and, once again, after thumbing through the issue at the book store and not bothering to actually buy it, we realized that we are not in it.

Me too. Not that I have a leg to stand on. I never met Mr. Ebert. I only watched his show and read... Continue Reading →
"To Fiction or to Non-Fiction - that is the question Jeff Shaara does not concern himself with..." - Hamlet, Act 8 - Scene 3 Jeff Shaara pulls off a neat trick with his 2012 book “A Blaze of Glory.” He presents a historical documentation of the civil war battle of Shiloh in the guise of a...

What is it about Opening Day for Major League Baseball that's so exciting? I'm a Cubs fan so it's clearly not "The Prospect of Winning." No, the best I can hope for this season is a better record than the White Sox, which doesn't look promising. Maybe it's the start of spring and impending days of summer; maybe it's the thought...
