Books: The Un-Boxening. Resurrected Post.
August 28, 2016 Books: The Un-Boxening I’ve moved into a new house. A new house seemingly inhabited by boxes. Boxes that shift and rearrange themselves into a continuously moving maze. I started tackling one section of that maze, attempting to clear away the savage boxes to make room for civilized living. Specifically, the room that… Continue reading Books: The Un-Boxening.

July 31, 2016 Oregon Brewers Festival 2016 Once again beer takes over the web log. This week saw the 29th annual Oregon Brewers Festival sprawl across the Portland waterfront.

Malazan is Falling. Resurrected Post.
July 17, 2016 Malazan is Falling I have a hypothesis. For some authors there comes a time when success becomes a liability.
