December 25, 2016 The Christmas Post Merry Christmas, Grinches and Grinchettes. We’ve orbited the great ball of fire once more and the fat man in red pajamas has again trespassed upon our property to dispense gift-wrapped gratuities. I hope your stocking offered something other than coal. No travel horrors, extended family disputes, or entertainment… Continue reading The Christmas Post. Resurrected Post.

Bits and Pieces, Odds and Ends, This and That. Resurrected Post.
December 18, 2016 Bits and Pieces, Odds and Ends, This and That Perihelion Science-Fiction magazine published a bit of flash fiction I was commissioned to write for an article on The End of the World. (Read that last phrase in a pretentious film trailer voice, with a dramatic pause between the second and third word.)… Continue reading Bits and Pieces, Odds and Ends, This and That.

Andrew Offutt, Gary Gygax’s Guiding Genius? Resurrected Post.
December 11, 2016 Andrew Offutt, Gary Gygax’s Guiding Genius? I think, as far as reading sensibilities went, Gary Gygax shared the most with Andrew J. Offutt out of all the Appendix N authors. They were contemporaries and from the available evidence enjoyed similar tastes in fiction. Andrew Offutt was a prolific writer and editor. (And… Continue reading Andrew Offutt, Gary Gygax’s Guiding Genius? Resurrected Post.
First Draft Contemplation and Commiseration. Resurrected Post.
December 4, 2016 First Draft Contemplation and Commiseration The way I figure it, I’m three-quarters through the first draft of Boss. If I can press on at the current rate, I should finish around March. How do I feel about that? Glad to be on the downhill slope. I can’t actually see the finish line… Continue reading First Draft Contemplation and Commiseration. Resurrected Post.
The Thanksgiving Post, 2016 Edition. Resurrected Post.
November 27, 2016 The Thanksgiving Post, 2016 Edition The year has been eventful and engaging for me. Selling the condo and buying a new house proved a lengthy, multi-step process. (That isn’t a complaint. This isn’t a complaining web log post, it is a thankful one.) The result was worth the effort. The new house… Continue reading The Thanksgiving Post, 2016 Edition.

Orycon 2016. Resurrected Post
November 20, 2016 Orycon 2016 And that wraps up another Orycon. Technically, as I write these words, the con is still ongoing in the sleepy manner of a con winding down on a Sunday. But it is over for me. I finished my last panel and drove home to help host the joint birthday party… Continue reading Orycon 2016. Resurrected Post
The Great Garrett Reread Part VI
Cruel Zinc Melodies This is a good one. As with the best mystery plots, the seemingly simple grows increasingly complex. There is a lot going on. And Cook is planting more clues regarding the Tinnie Tate/Garrett relationship. I’d ignored those last time through Cruel Zinc Melodies. I wanted only to see the good side of… Continue reading The Great Garrett Reread Part VI
Dreams and the Perilous Realm. Resurrected Post.
November 13, 2016 Dreams and the Perilous Realm At what point during parenthood do you begin getting a full night’s sleep again. I’m nearly at the three-year mark and I’m still not there. I’m tired. I mention this because I was considering today’s post with my head on my wife’s shoulder. She asked if was… Continue reading Dreams and the Perilous Realm. Resurrected Post.
Library Progress Report. Resurrected Post.
November 6, 2016 Library Progress Report I have yet to decide what to call this room. Library? Den? Study? Office? What best suits it? I don’t know. At this point it remains a work in progress. Though I have made progress. Check it out. My wife and I refinished this desk. (She finds the process… Continue reading Library Progress Report. Resurrected Post.
