Enjoying Freedom. Resurrected Post.
May 27, 2018 Enjoying Freedom It is a weekend during which I appreciate my freedoms and liberties more than I do most other weekends. Yesterday I took MBW and the HA to downtown Portland’s waterfront to enjoy the Rose Festival. We ate reasonably good food, listened to sub-par music (sorry, kids, I know you meant… Continue reading Enjoying Freedom. Resurrected Post.
Game Day. Resurrected Post.
April 29, 2018 Game Day The web log post is late because today was Game Day. Sitting around a table, laughing, rolling dice. It’s been several months since I last had a chance to play. I enjoyed getting back into it for a few hours. Did I learn anything applicable to writing, practice any storytelling… Continue reading Game Day. Resurrected Post.
Let’s Call it Research. Resurrected Post.
April 1, 2018 Let’s Call It Research It’s probably been too long since I fired off a bunch of money — er, that is, rounds. For a birthday present, MBW arranged a range day for me with a couple of friends of mine who are members of a local gun club. Many paper targets and… Continue reading Let’s Call it Research.

Appropriating Fictional Holidays. Plus Savage Journal Entry 8.
I took MBW and the HA to the local Oktoberfest celebration, hosted at a nearby golf course. It was rather smaller than I expected, especially given the deep German roots of Texas. But it was fun, with beer supplied by Texas Leaguer Brewing, the closest craft brewery to my new town. The HA had a… Continue reading Appropriating Fictional Holidays. Plus Savage Journal Entry 8.
Vacation, Ho! Resurrected Post.
March 11, 2018 Vacation, Ho! I’m on the cusp of vacation and it couldn’t come soon enough. Things are proceeding well enough, I suppose, they’re simply — incomplete. Case in point: I’ve got half the White Tree of Gondor on my bedroom wall. The right side, as you’re facing it, to be exact. See, many… Continue reading Vacation, Ho! Resurrected Post.
The Web Log Takes a Sick Day. Resurrected Post.
February 11, 2018 The Web Log Takes a Sick Day The web log is taking a sick day. I’ll spare you the details of the atrocities this virus has committed in my bowels. And the subsequent unspeakable horrors committed in my toilet bowl. “Unspeakable” may be hyperbole and thus not a literal prohibition or impossibility.… Continue reading The Web Log Takes a Sick Day.

2018 Tolkien Birthday Bash. Resurrected Post.
January 14, 2018 2018 Tolkien Birthday Bash Saturday I took MBW and the HA into Portland for the annual J.R.R. Tolkien Birthday Celebration at the Kennedy School. At four-years old, the HA is now able to appreciate it to some extent, though her attention still wanes at times. We met up with several friends.… Continue reading 2018 Tolkien Birthday Bash.

2018 Plans. Resurrected Post.
January 7, 2018 2018 Plans I did not make any New Year’s resolutions. I’m rather content, in general, with life. I always strive to improve, of course, for myself and for MBW and the HA. But I don’t plan to drop ten pounds or start exercising. I already maintain a healthy weight and workout regularly.… Continue reading 2018 Plans. Resurrected Post.
