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

The State of the Writer.
It seems like a good time to take stock. We’ve reached the second half 2023. Summer, in all its blistering glory is firmly in place. The fifty weeks of serializing Savage Journal are behind now. (Regarding which, I hope some of you enjoyed it.) I’m feeling settled in; it has been a bit over a… Continue reading The State of the Writer.
Savage Journal 2.
SAVAGE JOURNAL ENTRY 2. I mentioned yesterday, dear diary, that I can’t seem to keep a horse long. It is hard for a roaming barbarian swordsman to retain possessions, equine or otherwise. Take today, for instance. I had this throwing stick, well balanced, solid, fit comfortably in the palm of my hand. I… Continue reading Savage Journal 2.
Texas
I have moved. I remember when moving involved a few buddies and a pickup truck. The whole thing took an afternoon and there was time to go out for beer after. As a family man moving halfway across the country… not so much. I spent the vast majority of my life in the Pacific Northwest,… Continue reading Texas
The Web Log Is Moving. Again.
Settling In. Resurrected Post.
September 18, 2016 Settling In I’ve been in the new house about three weeks now. The majority of the unpacking is complete. It is even conceivable a car could be parked in the garage soon. But that doesn’t mean I’m nearly finished. Oh, no. The torrent of chores may have dwindled to a stream, but… Continue reading Settling In. Resurrected Post.
Books: The Un-Boxening. Resurrected Post.
August 28, 2016 Books: The Un-Boxening I’ve moved into a new house. A new house seemingly inhabited by boxes. Boxes that shift and rearrange themselves into a continuously moving maze. I started tackling one section of that maze, attempting to clear away the savage boxes to make room for civilized living. Specifically, the room that… Continue reading Books: The Un-Boxening. Resurrected Post.
The Web Log is on the Move. Resurrected Post.
August 21, 2016 The Web Log is on the Move The Web Log is spending the day packing. Along with — probably — most evenings for the rest of the week, right up until the night before the moving truck arrives. Next week’s web log post will be written in my library in the new… Continue reading The Web Log is on the Move. Resurrected Post.
Under Construction. Resurrected Post.
June 5, 2016 Under Construction It is a commonplace observation that writing and construction are analogous. I’ve made the comparison myself a time or two. Yesterday I had reason to consider it again. I’m having a house built. It’s in a nice subdivision of a far Portland suburb, right across the street from a park.… Continue reading Under Construction.
