Bookshelf Anomalies
I am not a terribly organized person — or perhaps I am, because my organization skills are indeed terrible. Friends of mine pull their hair when they see that my books and CDs follow no particular organizing principle. It doesn’t … Continue reading

Pre-Graduation Potpourri
We’re tidying up the Mid-Century Mondohaus a bit, as we have visitors coming in for next Friday’s graduation ceremony for the Spawn. Specifically, one of Mrs. M’s brothers and his family are coming in, and the Mad Dog and his … Continue reading
Meanwhile, in Muncie…
The town where I did my Ph.D. makes the news again. I don’t know if this is testimony to the quality of BBQ in Muncie — I know Texans, Tennesseans, and Carolinians who could probably make better — or to … Continue reading

QotD: Commencement Edition
While I recognize the name of British novelist Ian McEwan, I have to admit that I’ve not read his work that I can recall. (Anyone who has been dubbed “Ian Macabre” may be worth a look, say I.) However, Mr. … Continue reading

(High School) Senior Citizenship
Last night we trooped to Mondoville High for awards night for the graduating class. The Spawn sat with three of her best friends, and her fall roommate sat a couple of rows away. It was the sort of thing one would … Continue reading

Cleared for Launch
I’ve talked before about how thrilled I am with Dark Corners magazine, even beyond the fact that it publishes work from Clan Mondo. If anything, I’m even more tickled that Dark Corners editor/publisher Craig T. McNeely has decided to expand his empire … Continue reading

It’s a Week Before What Would Have Been…
… Dad’s 72nd birthday. As I’ve mentioned before, he was the mayor of our small town in Kentucky for about 20 years, finally deciding not to run again as he moved into retirement. (Later, he would return and serve as … Continue reading
