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.
Oregon Brewers Festival 2014. Resurrected Post
July 27, 2014 Oregon Brewers Festival 2014 I’m giving the usual topics a miss today in order to discuss beer. Specifically the beers I sampled at the 2014 Oregon Brewers Festival. I do wonder about the missing apostrophe in Brewers. Is not the Festival possessed by the Brewers? Well, never mind. I didn’t ride my bicycle… Continue reading Oregon Brewers Festival 2014.

Kothar — Barbarian Swordsman. Wings and Beer S&S
Gardner Fox’s first Kothar book is Kothar — Barbarian Swordsman. The title sums it up nicely. The book is a collection of three Kothar novellas. We get a sort of origin story, in which Kothar acquires his sword Frostfire, the introduction of his nemesis Red Lori, and some fast paced adventures, all prefaced by an… Continue reading Kothar — Barbarian Swordsman. Wings and Beer S&S
Gardner Fox, Appendix N. Resurrected Post
August 23, 2015 Gardner Fox, Appendix N Today I’m turning my attention once again to Appendix N. The writer in the spotlight this time is Gardner Fox. Not exactly a household name, not even among aficionados of sword-and-sorcery fiction. He’s probably better known to comic book fans as a prolific comics scripter, writing from the… Continue reading Gardner Fox, Appendix N. Resurrected Post
