It’s Bloggiversary Time…
So I’ve been doing this for four years now, huh? Well, that’s a good thing, I think. It has been a way to keep my writing chops up — and it’s far too easy to let them go slack when the rest … Continue reading
In Which the Prof Has an Evening Out
Yesterday evening, my colleague and friend David and I headed for Real City to enjoy an evening of Chinese food, used books, and loud music. The first place we hit was the restaurant, with the somewhat nondescript name of Flaming … Continue reading

QotD: Hard-Boiled Heinlein Edition
The other day, I was re-reading some stuff that had been unearthed by the move, and ran across a paperback copy of Heinlein’s The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag, a 1959 collection of stories that fall somewhere between fantasy and paranoia. … Continue reading

Happy Birthday; Happy Easter
My mom would have been seventy today, or at least I’d like to think so. Even had violence not intervened, Mom had been ill for decades, and the decline had become continuous and steepening, even startling as I’d come home … Continue reading
It Still Moves; It Still Matters

The Spawn Hits the Road
For the weekend, anyway. She set out around midnight for her marching band trip to Disney World. Apparently, they’ll be playing in a parade there on Sunday. So we supplied her with enough provisions to have made Napoleon’s Retreat from … Continue reading

Quietus
[…]I went for a run along the ocean… Well, along an asphalt path along the ocean. And twenty minutes in, I stopped beside some wood, you know, planks, that someone had made to spell “Bye, Kurt [Cobain].” I took a … Continue reading

Genetically Connected Links
My colleague and friend David Rachels has an interesting short piece at Paul D. Brazill’s blog. The subject is freedom of artistic expression, focused through the lens of the career of noir writer Gil Brewer (a subject on which David … Continue reading

QotD: Whispering Glades Edition
I reread The Loved One last night, and remembered how much I enjoyed it. Once again, it’s so dark that it veers into the ultraviolet, but it’s also wonderfully elegant, and quite funny. It further reminded me that in nearly every … Continue reading
