Film Review, “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.” Oh, where to begin? Let’s try…”The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” is the story of an elf-maiden and her forbidden love for a dwarf. No, that’s not quite right. ”The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” is the story of a pudgy elf… Continue reading Film Review, “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.” Resurrected Post.

Tolkien’s Birthday Extra. Resurrected Post.
Tolkien’s Birthday Extra I’m going to continue with the theme from last week, celebrating the birthday of the late, great J.R.R. Tolkien. Yesterday the family and I met some friends at the Kennedy School to take part in the annual Tolkien Birthday Bash festivities. For those of you who don’t know about the Kennedy School… Continue reading Tolkien’s Birthday Extra. Resurrected Post.
Tolkien’s Birthday Commemoration. Resurrected Post.
January 4, 2015 Published on January 04, 2015 11:37 Tolkien’s Birthday Commemoration Yesterday marked the birth date of Jonathan Ronald Reuel Tolkien. Had flights of Maia not called him home in 1973 he’d be pushing the Old Took for longevity records, but still shy of Bilbo’s Ring-assisted accomplishment. An admirable man, a man I’d like… Continue reading Tolkien’s Birthday Commemoration. Resurrected Post.

December 21, 2014 Elmore Leonard, An Appreciation So you’re asking, “Ken, what the hell? Elmore Leonard didn’t write science fiction or fantasy.

It is true that – to the best of my knowledge… Continue reading Elmore Leonard, An Appreciation. Resurrected Post.
VFW Book Signing. Resurrected Post.
December 14, 2014 VFW Book Signing Yesterday I held a signing at a Veterans of Foreign Wars event. I truly hope those who purchased “Reunion” enjoy it; these aren’t folks I’d care to disappoint. They risked quite a bit for the country, the least I can do is provide some competent entertainment. I like… Continue reading VFW Book Signing. Resurrected Post.
Increments. Resurrected Post.
December 7, 2014 Increments My wife endured a car accident yesterday. She’s fine, for the most part. I took her to a clinic for evaluation: She probably suffered some minor whiplash, and I’m watching her for signs of concussion. Puts me on nurse duty and full time baby care for the weekend. Dole out the… Continue reading Increments. Resurrected Post.
A Singular Birthday. Resurrected Post.
November 23, 2014 A Singular Birthday I hoped to reflect upon today’s event of personal note, my daughter’s first birthday. But the first impression I can summon up is a feeling of deep weariness. This, I suppose, is the common experience of parents. Raising an infant is exhausting. This does serve to illustrate the concept… Continue reading A Singular Birthday. Resurrected Post.

The Pirate of World’s End: The Returns Diminish
And so we come to The Pirate of World’s End, the fifth book in Lin Carter’s self-described Gondwane Epic. I stand by my previous comments on the books. There was a playful vibrancy about the everything-and-the-kitchen sink gonzo fantasy at first. Yet as I read this fifth volume, I was reminded of a couple of… Continue reading The Pirate of World’s End: The Returns Diminish
