December 31, 2017 Happy New Year from Vancouver, B.C. Happy New Year’s Eve to you all from sunny Vancouver, British Columbia. Yes, sunny. I just peeked out through the curtains of the hotel room and that is indeed blue sky. The drive up from Portland was in constant, pounding rain. It did not bode well… Continue reading Happy New Year from Vancouver, B.C. Resurrected Post.

Full Weekend: OryCon AND a Birthday Party. Resurrected Post.
November 19, 2017 Full Weekend: OryCon AND a Birthday Party My weekend was eventful. How was yours? OryCon returned to (almost) its former site for the 39th installment of the convention. The Red Lion on the Columbia River was home to the first several OryCons I attended, beginning back in the late ‘80s. The Red… Continue reading Full Weekend: OryCon AND a Birthday Party.

Eugene, Oregon. Resurrected Post.
October 1, 2017 Eugene, Oregon It never rains at Autzen Stadium. At least, it didn’t last night. The drive down I-5 to Eugene, Oregon suffered from the typical bottlenecks that develop when both the University of Oregon and Oregon State University host home football games on the same day. Occasional squalls and heavy, lowering cloud… Continue reading Eugene, Oregon. Resurrected Post.
LA and a Writer’s Workshop. Resurrected Post.
September 10, 2017 LA and a Writer’s Workshop What a weekend. I’m writing from a hotel lobby in Los Angeles. I mentioned before that a creative organization was flying me down to LA to participate in a writer’s workshop. Well, that’s done. Now I can recap the weekend while waiting for my ride to the… Continue reading LA and a Writer’s Workshop. Resurrected Post.
And in Other News. Resurrected Post.
September 3, 2017 And in Other News True, misfortunes may come not as single spies but in battalions. (Or something like that. I’m too lazy to look up the actual line from “Hamlet.”) On the other hand, good news can clump as well. I provided an update a couple of weeks ago on doings along… Continue reading And in Other News.

2017 Oregon Brewers Festival. Resurrected Post.
July 30, 2017 2017 Oregon Brewers Festival I have a few bits of information I’d truly like to share. But until the details firm up a bit more I’m not going to. Instead, I’m going to write about beer. Deal with it. This year is the 30th anniversary of the Oregon Brewers Festival. Not necessarily… Continue reading 2017 Oregon Brewers Festival. Resurrected Post.
Lake Tahoe. Resurrected Post.
June 11, 2017 Lake Tahoe On the road again. I’m writing from our hotel room in South Lake Tahoe. We drove down Thursday afternoon, stopping in Redding, California where we deposited the HA with her delighted grandmother. (They are currently enjoying a symbiosis wherein the HA gets absolutely spoiled and my mother gets unfettered access… Continue reading Lake Tahoe. Resurrected Post.
NanoCon Mark IV Report. Resurrected Post.
March 26, 2017 NanoCon Mark IV Report I’ve returned from NanoCon Mark IV and my stint as GOH. How about that? It was a fun little con, held at Lower Columbia College, just across the river from Rainier. I’d guess attendance came in at about two hundred. I’d consider it a success. I sold out of… Continue reading NanoCon Mark IV Report. Resurrected Post.
Tasting Notes. Resurrected Post.
March 12, 2017 Tasting Notes My Beautiful Wife and the Heir Apparent have been away for a couple of weeks. Too long, really. Still the time intervening between departure and return must be filled. I’ve been reading, caught up on some films, gotten a solid push on the second draft of “Boss.” Productive, I think.… Continue reading Tasting Notes. Resurrected Post.
