November 2, 2014 Transitions The current work-in-progress, a short fantasy novel, looks to be near completion. First draft completion, anyway. I expect to write “End” by next weekend, in time for Orycon. We’ll see. The point is that the time has come to move on to the next project. I don’t want to bore anyone with… Continue reading Transitions. Resurrected Post.

Rainy Day Reading. Resurrected Post.
October 26, 2014 Rainy-day Reading The grey days are here again. The storms roll inland from the Pacific in succession, bringing the seemingly continuous rain. The temperatures drop and coats come out of the closet. The days grow shorter. The nagging bugs commence. My daughter has already picked up a cold from somewhere and has… Continue reading Rainy Day Reading. Resurrected Post.
Peregrine: Primus, Philosophy and Picaresque. Resurrected Post.
October 19, 2014 Peregrine: Primus, Philosophy and Picaresque I’ve written before about Avram Davidson. Might he not have graced the list of an alternate Appendix N? If I recall correctly, Gary Gygax was a Christian. Whether observant or not. But it is possible that he might find Avram Davidson’s rather acid and frequent criticism of… Continue reading Peregrine: Primus, Philosophy and Picaresque. Resurrected Post.
Phoenix. Resurrected Post.
October 12, 2014 Phoenix Something you learn when traveling with an infant is that on any given day of the trip you can plan one thing. One event, one sight-seeing excursion, one (relatively) leisure restaurant meal. The rest of the day is governed by the baby’s sleeping schedule. Decent accommodations are vital. A pool helps.… Continue reading Phoenix. Resurrected Post.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Resurrected Post.
October 5, 2014 Captain America: The Winter Soldier I don’t write about comic book movies often. One reason is it’s too much like thinking about my day job. Another reason is I rarely see movies in theaters, so any review I might write would hardly be timely. Case in point: I finally saw “Captain America: The… Continue reading Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Resurrected Post.
Immortal Creations. Resurrected Post.
September 28, 2014 Immortal Creations I think the number of pages of Sherlock Holmes pastiches I’ve read equals or surpasses the volume of “The Complete Sherlock Holmes” I have on my shelves. And I’m certain I’ve barely scratched the surface of the short stories, novels, comic books, etc. featuring Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous creation.… Continue reading Immortal Creations.

Two Shy Brewing. Resurrected Post.
September 21, 2014 Two Shy Brewing I’m taking another detour from the usual route of this web log in order to write about beer. No complaints, right? Didn’t think so. I drove down to Roseburg on Friday afternoon. I chose my hotel based largely on its proximity to Roseburg’s lone brewery, Two Shy Brewing. It was… Continue reading Two Shy Brewing. Resurrected Post.
Off the Grid. Resurrected Post.
September 14, 2014 Off the Grid A weekend away every now and then is refreshing. Sometimes the family will drive up toward Mt. Hood, spend a couple of days with some friends in a cabin on the Salmon River. No television, no internet. Just games and conversation. This weekend provided a variation on that theme… Continue reading Off the Grid. Resurrected Post.
A Child’s Library. Resurrected Post.
August 3, 2014 A Child’s Library I’ve been thinking about what books to purchase for Victoria Valentina. With what titles shall I stock her library? Honestly I’ve been pondering this since before she was born. Look, that’s just how I am. Don’t judge me. I’ve already picked up a paperback copy of Tbe Wind in the… Continue reading A Child’s Library. Resurrected Post.
