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.
Savage Journal 2.
SAVAGE JOURNAL ENTRY 2. I mentioned yesterday, dear diary, that I can’t seem to keep a horse long. It is hard for a roaming barbarian swordsman to retain possessions, equine or otherwise. Take today, for instance. I had this throwing stick, well balanced, solid, fit comfortably in the palm of my hand. I… Continue reading Savage Journal 2.
Don Pendleton’s Science Fiction? Resurrected Post.
April 9, 2017 Don Pendleton’s Science Fiction? You may have known it, but it came as a surprise to me: Don Pendleton wrote science fiction. Mind blown, right? Wait, maybe I should back up a step. I’m proceeding under the assumption that you are all familiar with Don Pendleton. That could be a mistake, what… Continue reading Don Pendleton’s Science Fiction? Resurrected Post.
Technical Difficulties. Resurrected Post.
April 2, 2017 Technical Difficulties Ahh, automobiles. I don’t give mine much thought so long as they are operating properly. Keep them fueled, take them in for a regular oil change, and other than that simply expect comfortable transport from point A to point B. Used to be easier to maintain these things yourself. I… Continue reading Technical Difficulties. Resurrected Post.
NanoCon Mark IV Report. Resurrected Post.
March 26, 2017 NanoCon Mark IV Report I’ve returned from NanoCon Mark IV and my stint as GOH. How about that? It was a fun little con, held at Lower Columbia College, just across the river from Rainier. I’d guess attendance came in at about two hundred. I’d consider it a success. I sold out of… Continue reading NanoCon Mark IV Report. Resurrected Post.
Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Resurrected Post.
March 19, 2017 Playa del Carmen, Mexico Once again I write from one of the dreary hardship stations where I toil in the phrase fields, reaping sentences and paragraphs for your entertainment. This particular gray, danksome locale is Playa del Carmen, Mexico. That’s right, I’m suffering the horrors of the Mexican Riviera on your behalf.… Continue reading Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
