The HA enjoyed a school event in the gymnasium, staying up late for games, crafts, an animated flick, and running around with her little friends. The school branded this as parents date night. So MBW and I took advantage of that. After dropping off the HA, we drove to a ramshackle brewpub/venue a few miles… Continue reading Texas Beer Tasting. Plus Savage Journal Entry 7

2018 Tolkien Birthday Bash. Resurrected Post.
January 14, 2018 2018 Tolkien Birthday Bash Saturday I took MBW and the HA into Portland for the annual J.R.R. Tolkien Birthday Celebration at the Kennedy School. At four-years old, the HA is now able to appreciate it to some extent, though her attention still wanes at times. We met up with several friends.… Continue reading 2018 Tolkien Birthday Bash.

2018 Plans. Resurrected Post.
January 7, 2018 2018 Plans I did not make any New Year’s resolutions. I’m rather content, in general, with life. I always strive to improve, of course, for myself and for MBW and the HA. But I don’t plan to drop ten pounds or start exercising. I already maintain a healthy weight and workout regularly.… Continue reading 2018 Plans. Resurrected Post.
Happy New Year from Vancouver, B.C. Resurrected Post.
December 31, 2017 Happy New Year from Vancouver, B.C. Happy New Year’s Eve to you all from sunny Vancouver, British Columbia. Yes, sunny. I just peeked out through the curtains of the hotel room and that is indeed blue sky. The drive up from Portland was in constant, pounding rain. It did not bode well… Continue reading Happy New Year from Vancouver, B.C. Resurrected Post.
Wassail ON, Wassail Off. Resurrected Post.
December 24, 2017 Wassail On, Wassail Off Yuletide greetings. Many happy returns. Etc. Merry Christmas, is what I’m saying. I hope you all are enjoying the whole shebang, entire shooting match, soup-to-nuts holiday extravaganza. MBW wished for a White Christmas. Looks as though she might get her wish. It is not precisely blizzard conditions out… Continue reading Wassail ON, Wassail Off. Resurrected Post.
The Little and the Big. Resurrected Post.
December 17, 2017 The Little and the Big I’ve, at last, worked my way through a couple of massive, minor classics: Little, Big (John Crowley); and Stand on Zanzibar (John Brunner.) “Worked my way through” suggests the process was a chore rather than entertainment. I don’t think that’s entirely accurate, though it might be fair… Continue reading The Little and the Big. Resurrected Post.
Checking In. Resurrected Post.
December 10, 2017 Checking In I have a moment to drop you all a brief line. MBW is off on a business trip, charming the State of Texas I’m sure. This means I’m taking care of the HA. Leaving me no sustained time for composition. Okay, I’m back. Anyway, I’ll be back next week with… Continue reading Checking In. Resurrected Post.
Christmas? Already? Resurrected Post.
December 3, 2017 Christmas? Already? Well, crap. We’re already into the first week of December. That means Christmas is barreling down on us like an out of control sleigh careening down a ski slope. And I’m not ready yet. The thing is, I’m usually on top of this. It isn’t uncommon for me to have… Continue reading Christmas? Already? Resurrected Post.
The Thankful Post. Resurrected Pst.
November 26, 2017 The Thankful Post Thanksgiving has come and gone once again. I’m watching a cold, gray Oregon afternoon out the window as I type. The rain provides a persistent, percussive white noise, punctuated by occasional squalls and wind gusts. It’s a bit dismal is what I’m saying. I’m trying to reflect and be… Continue reading The Thankful Post. Resurrected Pst.
