That’s what it is when you’re right on the edge of a major discovery on a story … and it’s time to go to work. Perhaps lunchtime. Or, there’s always tomorrow. Grr. Share Me
Read More ...Lisa’s Mini-Design Goes Viral
A few months back, Lisa spent some serious time designing and implementing a “fairy-kissed” decal design for her Mini Cooper. It’s apparently so popular now that they’ve created a special kit for it. Pretty cool. Share Me

I’m moving more fully into what was once “book two” of the series I’m working on, but which will now be episodes 5-7 (or maybe 8 ) of the series I’m tentatively thinking of as “The Lords of Existence.” The first four episodes are made of elements that were once the novel “Glamour of the […]
Read More ...A Morning … uh … Not Writing
I spent the morning fiddling around with the idea of putting a new cover on my baseball fantasy novel “See the PEBA on $25 a Day.” I’m planning on running a baseball playoff special on it, so a new cover might be nice. The good news is that I’ve found something I would like to […]
Read More ...What a Great System
As anyone who has been listening here knows, both Lisa and I have had nasty colds. I got mine in Chicago, and it was so bad that Lisa took me to the emergency room. We were out of town, after all, and in downtown Chicago. It’s not like we had a lot of medical options. […]
Read More ...Out of The Cold and into “The Woods”
It turns out that when an Ultimate Virus/Cold takes you off line for two weeks (or more), it takes quite a while to get back into a normal flow. Things back up, you know? It’s no fun. And then your significant other gets it and that takes time, and, well, those are my excuses, and […]
Read More ...Nearing “The End”
The cold I caught in mid-WorldCon is still hanging on, but at least this weekend I finally felt human (there you go, Josh). Lisa was off in the Great North doing some dress shopping for Brigid, so this meant I had the house to myself. Thursday night was filled with work, but Friday night through […]
Read More ...Random Thoughts
A few random thoughts on mostly non-writing, non-SF topics while sitting around at WorldCon. 1 – A newscaster yesterday described it as “ironic” that rescue workers in New Orleans are saving the same people after Isaac as they rescued after Katrina. I don’t find this ironic at all. I think people live where they live. […]

“How do you get 30,000 steps a day? That’s like running a marathon.” This was a question that I received from a co-worker earlier today. To give you context, the company I work for subscribes to the Virgin Health Miles program–which is a deal where you wear a pedometer and register your steps and as […]
Read More ...Finally
Don’t take the semi-silence here as any indicator that things have been slowing down. Lots happening, not the least of which is that in getting the book “repackaged” for Lisa’s copy edits I’ve been making another mad-dash through it. It’s moving along pretty easy, which I hope is a good sign. But … Yesterday afternoon […]
