After three years in Houston, MBW, the HA, and I have packed our bags. Forgive this short post. I’ve been up since 4AM. I drove to the new Web Log Headquarters in San Antonio, and have been unloading, unpacking, driving about town for various essential purchases, and generally sweating my fundament off all day. I… Continue reading The Web Log Has Migrated

NTRPG 2025
Home at last. After the trip to Florida I had a half-day at home before heading north to Dallas for the North Texas RPG Con. I have put a few miles on the car over the last week or so. The con was, as usual, both fun and exhausting. I played in a few games,… Continue reading NTRPG 2025
The State of the Writer, May Edition
2025 is chugging along at a rapid clip. I’m a busy man. MBW and I are still trying to sell Casa Lizzi. Ups and downs, opportunities and disappointments. Nonetheless, we’re working on it. The HA is in nearly daily practices for a swim team. So that’s another hour of the day to be accounted for,… Continue reading The State of the Writer, May Edition
Corpus Christi Beach Weekend and a Birthday
I drove MBW and the HA south to Corpus Christi for the weekend. I like to get out of town for my birthday, out of the country when I get the opportunity. But this year we stayed in the States. We arrived at our hotel on Thursday afternoon only to discover that the swimming pool… Continue reading Corpus Christi Beach Weekend and a Birthday

A Long Expected Party
My grandmother celebrated her centennial on Friday. It isn’t precisely eleventy-one years, but it is an impressive span nonetheless. And she is still chugging along. MBW, the HA, and I jetted off from Casa Lizzi to San Diego. We shared a rented house in the SD suburb of La Mesa with my mother and sister.… Continue reading A Long Expected Party
A Galveston Thanksgiving
Once again the day of thankfulness and overeating arrived. I spent this one with MBW and the HA in Galveston. We rented a room in a mansion in the historic district. Wednesday featured a visit to a used bookstore (from which I was at length pried away by MBW) and a distillery. Thursday consisted of… Continue reading A Galveston Thanksgiving
They Can’t All Be Winners: “Demon in the Mirror” and “Thor: Love and Thunder”
We all know the aphorism: If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. The problem is that this week’s post would minuscule, or even absent entirely were I to adhere to that admonition. I did not have high hopes for Andrew Offutt and Richard Lyon’s Demon in the Mirror. So… Continue reading They Can’t All Be Winners: “Demon in the Mirror” and “Thor: Love and Thunder”
