I have, I believe, completed the task of resurrecting the lost web log posts. I’ll examine the matter more closely later. But for now I’m tired. To quote Jimmy Buffett, “I must confess, I could use some rest.” Rest is something we look for even in fiction. We want our characters to have a chance… Continue reading Rest.

Anthologies: The Spell of Seven. Resurrected Post.
September 6, 2020 Anthologies: The Spell of Seven Another volume curated by L. Sprague de Camp, The Spell of Seven offers a stellar lineup of talent. Each of the seven tales features a Virgil Finlay illustration. How about that for lagniappe? Now, I’m guessing the cover looked better as a pencil and ink drawing. Colored,… Continue reading Anthologies: The Spell of Seven. Resurrected Post.
The Family Road Trip. Resurrected Post.
August 9, 2020 The Family Road Trip Last Monday, I packed up MBW and the HA for a road trip. I pointed the vehicle east and we headed for Yellowstone. We decided to take the journey in two stages. I’ve done eighteen and twenty hour stretches, and we could have made the trip in, perhaps,… Continue reading The Family Road Trip. Resurrected Post.
Father’s Day 2020. Resurrected Post.
June 21, 2020 Father’s Day It is Father’s Day. I’m busy enjoying it, so this will be short. Let me just say that I can think of worse ways to burn a couple of hours than heading to woods with a minor arsenal and a hundred bucks or so worth of ammunition. I hope your… Continue reading Father’s Day 2020. Resurrected Post.
Kyrik Fights the Demon World. Hell Breaks Loose, By the Numbers. Resurrected Post.
June 14, 2020 Kyrik Fights the Demon World. Hell Breaks Loose, By the Numbers. I’ve read a few of Gardner Fox’s Kothar books. So when I saw his name on the cover of Kyrik Fights the Demon World I didn’t hesitate to snatch up the book. No one will claim that Fox was a master… Continue reading Kyrik Fights the Demon World. Hell Breaks Loose, By the Numbers. Resurrected Post.
Falling Down the Gravity Well. Resurrected Post.
June 7, 2020 Falling Down the Gravity Well I’d hoped to devote this web log post to an announcement. But circumstances under the control of third parties instead of mine must delay that announcement. Next week, knock on wood. No use crying over spilled beer. No, not even spilled beer, though that is indeed tragic.… Continue reading Falling Down the Gravity Well. Resurrected Post.
Fantasy and Sword-and-Sorcery for Turbulent Days. Resurrected Days.
May 31, 2020 Fantasy and Sword-and-Sorcery for Turbulent Days We are living in interesting times. Whatever your take on current events, however much or little the global turmoil and tumults have affected you personally, it is likely you feel at the least a bit of consternation, perhaps even pique. My day-to-day existence has altered little.… Continue reading Fantasy and Sword-and-Sorcery for Turbulent Days. Resurrected Days.
Putting in the Work. Resurrected Post.
May 24, 2020 Putting in the Work As with many of you, home improvement projects have played an unusually prominent role in recent weeks. Now, I’ve not had the excuse of being home with time on my hands. I’ve been going to the office every day. Nonetheless, at the behest of MBW, we’ve been buckling… Continue reading Putting in the Work. Resurrected Post.
Vitally Haggard. Resurrected Post.
May 17, 2020 Vitally Haggard A few words on Haggard. No, not Merle Haggard, though that man is worthy of a torrent of digital ink. I’m writing here about Henry Rider Haggard, traveler, lawyer, author. I’m reading Allan Quatermain currently, a book I should have read decades ago. I’m not unfamiliar with Haggard. I finished… Continue reading Vitally Haggard. Resurrected Post.
