June 11, 2017 Lake Tahoe On the road again. I’m writing from our hotel room in South Lake Tahoe. We drove down Thursday afternoon, stopping in Redding, California where we deposited the HA with her delighted grandmother. (They are currently enjoying a symbiosis wherein the HA gets absolutely spoiled and my mother gets unfettered access… Continue reading Lake Tahoe. Resurrected Post.

Even More Way Too Late Reviews. Resurrected Post.
June 4, 2017 Even More Way Too Late Reviews I wanted to like Outlander. I came to it with a certain amount of goodwill, having heard of it years ago and appreciating the elevator pitch concept. Unfortunately goodwill can only do so much to entirely overcome certain deficiencies. The budget is one deficiency. Every… Continue reading Even More Way Too Late Reviews. Resurrected Post.
Memorial Day 2017. Resurrected Post.
May 28, 2017 Memorial Day 2017 I don’t come from a military family. My paternal grandfather was a medic in WWII. I’m not sure about my maternal grandfather. I have uncles by marriage on either side of the family who were medics in the Vietnam war, one stationed in Korea, the other in Vietnam. My… Continue reading Memorial Day 2017. Resurrected Post.
Sherlock! At Least in Name. Resurrected Post.
May 21, 2017 Sherlock? At Least in Name. I finished watching the last series of BBC’s Sherlock last night. And I have opinions. That’s right, opinions. Run now! Still here? Okay. I might perhaps have been more charitable had I not recently finished re-reading the canon. The intent of the show seems reasonable: updating… Continue reading Sherlock! At Least in Name.

Tea With the Black Dragon. Add a Splash of Gin to Mine. Resurrected Post.
May 14, 2017 Tea With the Black Dragon. Add a Splash of Gin to Mine. Yesterday I finished R.A. MacAvoy’s Tea With the Black Dragon. Serendipitous timing I think considering today is Mother’s Day. If you haven’t read the book, I suppose that comment requires some explanation. Tea With the Black Dragon is a short… Continue reading Tea With the Black Dragon. Add a Splash of Gin to Mine.

May the Fifth. Resurrected Post.
May 7, 2017 May the Fifth Let’s clear this up right away: Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico’s Independence Day. That falls on September 16. Instead, the fifth of May is a celebration of the Battle of Puebla and is not a national holiday. It commemorates the 1862 battle in which the Mexican army defeated… Continue reading May the Fifth.

Ahem! Announcements. Resurrected Post.
April 30, 2017 Ahem! Announcements. I played coy a bit ago, teasing some news. That’s because I don’t like to offer news only to later have to issue a retraction. Now it can be revealed. (Passive voice, ugh. But in context it does read better than “Now I can reveal it.”) Both parties signed the… Continue reading Ahem! Announcements. Resurrected Post.
Oregon Coastal Standard. Resurrected Post.
April 23, 2017 Oregon Coastal Standard Mention a day at the beach and most people imagine blue skies, bright sun, white sands, and warm ocean waves. I live in Oregon. A typical day at the Oregon coast involves none of the above. I took MBW and the HA to Cannon Beach on Saturday where we… Continue reading Oregon Coastal Standard. Resurrected Post.
Life is Early Spring. Resurrected Post.
April 16, 2017 Life is Early Spring Life is never unalloyed happiness. At least not in my experience. If it can be I wouldn’t mind taking it for a lengthy test drive, see how I like it. But the way I see it you never get particularly extended periods of happiness without something or other… Continue reading Life is Early Spring. Resurrected Post.
