In the wake of last month’s entry, I am left with the taste of anger and vitriol in my mouth, and some of the things happening in politics are not making it any better. However, I keep telling myself this is not the place to spew my political beliefs (though they will creep in, as… Continue reading IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN!

FUN N GAMES #1
The People You Play With A while back, the one reader I have on this blog, trying to be helpful at some of my musings, made the suggestion to incorporate some posts about the hobby of board games, beyond just mentioning what I’m playing. I think it’s a decent idea and might help me keep… Continue reading FUN N GAMES #1
COMEDY OF TERRORS: COMING VERY SOON!
What you are looking at is the cover to the book I have been tinkering with since November, 2018. Okay, that was the month I wrote the first draft. People donated to my NaNoWriMo fundraiser to have characters named after them — characters who would meet brutal and bloody ends. I purchased this cover before… Continue reading COMEDY OF TERRORS: COMING VERY SOON!
FIRST POST! (OF 2020)
What I am calling Year of the Hindsight has started with a fizzle. Lofty goals and intentions have petered out and been replaced with the same old lethargy and laziness that has plagued my existence since I can remember.

This blog turned a year old at some point last month, but more importantly, October means that National… Continue reading WRIMO IS COMING
IT’S COMING… REALLY
Hey, look — it’s an image! Just don’t get too excited, I’m still doing it wrong.

I don’t recall offhand, but I think this might be the first time I have done… Continue reading IT’S COMING… REALLY
LITTLE OF THIS, LOT OF GAMES
So… hi there. Here in the northern hemisphere of the globe, Spring is about to… well, spring. The cold and clouds of a rainy winter have dissipated in Southern California in favor of that hateful ball of light in the sky this region is known for. Soon temperatures will climb enough that my Grumpy jacket… Continue reading LITTLE OF THIS, LOT OF GAMES
JANUARY UPDATE
First up, I hope that everyone had a marvelous holiday season, that you spent as much quality time with your loved ones as they could bear, and that you rang in 2019 in a fun but safe and responsible manner. It seems, for now, that this will be a once-a-month-ish blog until I can kick… Continue reading JANUARY UPDATE
IT HAS BEGUN
Here we are, in the thick of it. National Novel Writing Month is upon us, and like last year, I started off way behind. In full disclosure mode, “writing in public” like Dean Wesley Smith, and just because I did not do a single blog entry in October — what the *blank* is wrong with… Continue reading IT HAS BEGUN
