I received word this afternoon that Scott Glenning, who had barely begun to play in our Multiverser forum game, has died.  I do not know the details.  He was a kind and friendly person who suffered somewhat severe disability from neurological damage in an accident; I knew him through church locally, where he appeared perhaps [...]

Breathing is still labored, but not so labored as it was.  How much of that is the antibiotic and how much something approaching a good night’s rest is more than I can guess.
My collegiate son came home for a few hours today.  He needed a physical and fingerprinting in anticipation of his recurring summer job.  [...]

I would love to tell you that Ubercon X was great, but I would be lying, and although I will obfuscate and conceal, I do attempt not to lie.
It was not without its highlights.  I very much enjoyed meeting Timothy Zahn and his wife Anna, and hope they will find the time to drop me [...]

Why don’t you just tell everyone that you don’t have time to post because you have to get ready for Ubercon?
The question would have been less ironic, I suppose, were it not that the one asking it had called me around one in the morning, when I was trying to make good use of the [...]

It was late when I hit the mattress, but not much later than usual.  On the other hand, I’ve been dragging a bit today, and don’t really have time to drag.  I should already have our youngest guest at his doctor’s appointment, but that he is not yet home; I have loaded the trash on [...]

Yesterday was sufficiently behind schedule that I did not reach the north end of the state until about four hours later than my original estimate, and then had dessert in the intended rendevous diner (technically a breakfaster, open from ten at night to three in the afternoon and specializing in things like eggs) not quite [...]

Already I am two hours behind my original unreasonably optimistic schedule for today; I should long ago have left to take my mother-in-law shopping, and in fact be preparing for the next leg of that journey, to return a certain young lady to her northern home.  I’ve planned to have dessert and coffee with a [...]

The Collision concert went reasonably well last night.  Baxter brought his new amp, which looks really good, but because we’d not worked with it I suggested we use the old one for this concert.  Adam got crossed communication wires and went to the wrong coffeehouse location, and since Brittany had to be out early we [...]

Sometimes it feels to me as if I have not accomplished much–particularly when I wind up collapsing early, then going on late-night errands, then sleeping well into the next afternoon only to commit to long errands on behalf of others.  However, review of the facts suggests otherwise.
At some time within the last twenty-four hours I [...]

I stare at the screen wondering what to type.  It is very like writer’s block; I do not know what to say.
Of course, it isn’t really writer’s block.  The reason I don’t know what to type is that I was here late last night and am back again early this afternoon, and nothing has happened [...]
