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.

Somnus is AWOL. Resurrected Post.
February 26, 2017 Somnus is AWOL There was a period of about six months following the birth of the Heir Apparent during which I was functionally a zombie. A decent night’s sleep consisted of perhaps four hours, broken into two-hour blocks. Ah, good times. But gradually the HA began sleeping through the night on a… Continue reading Somnus is AWOL.

Idle Plots. Resurrected Post.
February 19, 2017 Idle Plots Pardon me while I ramble on a bit. This is primarily (or perhaps entirely) for my benefit. Consider it musing or work notes. Geography dictates the battlespace. As a rule, soldiers aren’t herded together onto a broad, featureless plain, formed up into ranks and columns, and marched headlong at the… Continue reading Idle Plots. Resurrected Post.
No Time to Binge, Doctor Jones. Resurrected Post.
February 5, 2017 No Time to Binge, Doctor Jones I’ll be driving MBW and the HA to a restaurant later this afternoon to watch the Superbowl with friends. In part this is to see friends. Also in part because I wouldn’t be able to watch the game at home. See, my house gets crap TV… Continue reading No Time to Binge, Doctor Jones. Resurrected Post.
Rest. Resurrected Post.
January 22, 2017 Rest A few days ago I finished the first draft of the novel I’m working on. Huzzah. Glory and trumpets. Time to set it aside, gain some distance from it so I can approach it with fresh eyes for the second draft. Normally this means moving on to the next project. Now,… Continue reading Rest.

The New Year’s Post. Resurrected Post
January 1, 2017 The New Year’s Post Last week a Christmas web log post, this week a New Year’s post. I’m sensing a holiday theme running through these scribblings of mine. None of this sort of consistency for me. I hereby declare a halt to holidays for the immediate future so I can write about… Continue reading The New Year’s Post. Resurrected Post
The Christmas Post. Resurrected Post.
December 25, 2016 The Christmas Post Merry Christmas, Grinches and Grinchettes. We’ve orbited the great ball of fire once more and the fat man in red pajamas has again trespassed upon our property to dispense gift-wrapped gratuities. I hope your stocking offered something other than coal. No travel horrors, extended family disputes, or entertainment… Continue reading The Christmas Post. Resurrected Post.
Bits and Pieces, Odds and Ends, This and That. Resurrected Post.
December 18, 2016 Bits and Pieces, Odds and Ends, This and That Perihelion Science-Fiction magazine published a bit of flash fiction I was commissioned to write for an article on The End of the World. (Read that last phrase in a pretentious film trailer voice, with a dramatic pause between the second and third word.)… Continue reading Bits and Pieces, Odds and Ends, This and That.

The Thanksgiving Post, 2016 Edition. Resurrected Post.
November 27, 2016 The Thanksgiving Post, 2016 Edition The year has been eventful and engaging for me. Selling the condo and buying a new house proved a lengthy, multi-step process. (That isn’t a complaint. This isn’t a complaining web log post, it is a thankful one.) The result was worth the effort. The new house… Continue reading The Thanksgiving Post, 2016 Edition.
