I made the Hajj, the Pilgrimage, to Cross Plains, Texas this weekend to visit the Robert E. Howard museum. Not coincidentally, it was also the weekend of the 2023 edition of Howard Days. I am, to be blunt, tired. It is only a five hour drive from Casa Lizzi, which is why I had no… Continue reading Howard Days 2023. Plus Savage Journal Entry 41.

Day Trip to Galveston. Plus Savage Journal Entry 40.
I have relatives in from out of town. Had, rather, as I dropped them off at Hobby Airport prior to finishing this post. What with a tropical thunder storm and a beautiful sunny day on the Gulf Coast, I think they experienced the full range of Houston-area weather. Yesterday we drove down to Galveston. I… Continue reading Day Trip to Galveston. Plus Savage Journal Entry 40.
The Web Log In Mexico. Plus Savage Journal Entry 35.
I can’t truly call it a vacation. I worked the day job faithfully and made daily progress on the current novel. But MBW, the HA, and I were at a resort on the beach in Mexico. So I did soak up sea, sun, sand, and cerveza. I’ve got the evidence. I also have the bills.… Continue reading The Web Log In Mexico. Plus Savage Journal Entry 35.
The Web Log is Traveling. Plus Savage Journal Entry 34.
Time for writing a post is limited today. MBW, the HA, and I are en route to Mexico. My ambitious goal is to sit in the sand, watching the waves, and endeavoring to absorb UV rays right up to, but not over the border of, sunburn. I assume cerveza and tequila will also factor in.… Continue reading The Web Log is Traveling. Plus Savage Journal Entry 34.
Down in New Orleans. Plus Savage Journal Entry 23.
A Thanksgiving Repeat. Plus Savage Journal Entry 19.
The web log has been traveling. MBW, the HA, and I just returned to my fastness in the outskirts of Houston from spending Thanksgiving with my sister in Nebraska. Accordingly the web log will be broadcasting a repeat instead of new programing. Also, the next entry in Magnus Stoneslayer’s diary. But first, the obligatory self-promotion.… Continue reading A Thanksgiving Repeat. Plus Savage Journal Entry 19.
Rest. Plus Savage Journal Entry 18.
I have, I believe, completed the task of resurrecting the lost web log posts. I’ll examine the matter more closely later. But for now I’m tired. To quote Jimmy Buffett, “I must confess, I could use some rest.” Rest is something we look for even in fiction. We want our characters to have a chance… Continue reading Rest.

The Family Road Trip. Resurrected Post.
August 9, 2020 The Family Road Trip Last Monday, I packed up MBW and the HA for a road trip. I pointed the vehicle east and we headed for Yellowstone. We decided to take the journey in two stages. I’ve done eighteen and twenty hour stretches, and we could have made the trip in, perhaps,… Continue reading The Family Road Trip. Resurrected Post.
Dancing on the Precipice. Resurrected Post.
March 22, 2020 Dancing on the Precipice [image error] I understand there is some sort of kerfuffle going on in the world. People panicking, going into lockdown mode. I’ve been sitting on the beach, sipping cold beer, and listening to the waves come in. We all react to existential threats in our own way, I… Continue reading Dancing on the Precipice.
