June 19, 2016 Sweltering in Monterrey View from my brother-in-law’s house. Two blocks from the hotel on a Sunday morning and Monterrey is nearly unrecognizable. Kilometers of a major thoroughfare — the sort with a shady, tree-lined median and jogging path bisecting it — is closed. Bikers, joggers, walkers, dogs, and children pedaling four-wheelers crowd… Continue reading Sweltering in Monterrey. Resurrected Post.

Lesser Problems. Resurrected Post.
June 12, 2016 Lesser Problems In the grand scheme of the things, the sweeping panorama of mankind’s struggles, it isn’t much of a problem. “Minuscule” gives it too much credit. But this is my web log and I’ll complain if I want to. Seems to happen to me every time. I reserve a couple of… Continue reading Lesser Problems. Resurrected Post.
The Great Garret Reread Part V
The reread continues. As with last week, traveling prevented me from continuing with the re-uploading of lost posts. Eventually I will get that project back on track.

Checking Crater Lake off the List. Resurrected Post.
May 29, 2016 Checking Crater Lake off the List I suppose most of us have lists. Or, if not lists, the occasional thought that “I really ought to [insert specific] sometime.” For me it is the latter. I don’t actually make lists, bucket or otherwise. But one thing that has cropped up in my mind… Continue reading Checking Crater Lake off the List. Resurrected Post.
Michael Moorcock, Appendix N’s Prince of Angst. Resurrected Post.
May 22, 2016 Michael Moorcock, Appendix N’s Prince of Angst It is only fair that I begin my web log post on Michael Moorcock with the positives of my assessment. He deserves recognition for is contribution to the field and I’m the last man to withhold his just due. Moorcock’s Law/Chaos dichotomy, along with Poul… Continue reading Michael Moorcock, Appendix N’s Prince of Angst. Resurrected Post.
Views on Reviews. Resurrected Post.
May 15, 2016 Views on Reviews I’m considering reviews today, from the perspective of both a reader and a writer. What value is there in a review? On-line we find two prominent sources of reviews: Goodreads and Amazon. There are a plethora of other sources on the web for reviews, but the two aforementioned are… Continue reading Views on Reviews. Resurrected Post.
