I find myself racing against the expectation that the computer is going to shut down once again.  The temperature in the room has been creeping up–only the middle of the eighties at the moment, but I’ve had several cold shutdowns, forced restarts, and freezes, despite setting an ice pack against the lower intake.  With all [...]

Yeah, you probably recognize the saying, and it’s so cliche I don’t want to say it; but it does seem to be true at the moment, and I can’t even clearly explain what all it is I have had to do or why I don’t have enough time.  This will be the second day in [...]

The temporal anomalies series at The Examiner reaches the final formal installment of the analysis of The Lake House, with The Lake House part 18:  this changes everything.  Kate prevents Alex from dying at Daley Plaza, but that leaves so many unanswered questions about what happens in the months that follow since Alex now is [...]

As the temporal anomalies series at The Examiner continues, Kate finds herself in the office of a certain architect named Wilder, whom she has met before, whom she somehow has failed to connect to two other architects who shared the same surname.  That’s what’s really odd about The Lake House part 17:  Visionary coincidence, today’s [...]

As I was preparing to post today’s Examiner temporal anomalies article, it occurred to me that there ought to be a link in it to wherever I mentioned Kate having sent a book back to Alex–and discovered that somehow in the confusion of the serialized articles I had failed to mention this.  Thus I rather [...]

A car abruptly and unanticipatedly was disabled over the weekend, with the result that someone needed transportation to and from an overnight job.  I got the from end of the deal, an errand that had the alarm ringing by five this morning (that’s eleven at night on the nine-five equivalent) (that’s the bell), but I [...]

I am here. As Max Smart once said to Agent 99, I’m not saying that the rest of the world isn’t lost. Here’s hoping that the latest Examiner temporal anomalies article, The Lake House part 14:  real estate, drums up a bit of interest; I could use the extra pennies. Otherwise, not much has changed [...]

Today’s Examiner temporal anomalies installment, The Lake House part 13:  no call no show, raises issues surrounding the fact that Alex does not meet Kate as planned at the restaurant because he already died at Daley Plaza, but if he doesn’t die at Daley Plaza there is no reason for him not to be at [...]

I am not certain whether it is cooler in the office today (the desktop thermometer–on the real, wooden, desktop, not the computer version–says 82 right now) because we now have two window air conditioning units working full time at opposite ends of the level and several fans driving the warm and cool air into various [...]

It is again hot, and that has again destabilized the computer.  We found someone who thinks he might be able to repair the air for a third of the completely impossible price previously quoted, but I’m not entirely certain we can afford that and he’s not entirely certain he can do it for that price–but [...]
