Welcome to my outpost on the Web! I write SF, fantasy, and horror for fun and, hopefully, profit! Other interests include music, nature, science, humor, food, bib overalls, and pie throwing (both metaphorically AND literally). Stick around!

The Chairman of the Board will see you now.
Sheila O’Malley has a typically lovely post about Frank Sinatra, whose birthday is today. I started composing a comment on her site, but then I realized that my thoughts were getting away from me, so I decided to … Continue reading
Apollo at Fifty (a repost)
Sam Seaborn: There are a lot of hungry people in the world, Mal, and none of them are hungry ‘cause we went to the moon. None of them are colder and certainly none of them are dumber ‘cause we … Continue reading
A Repost: “Whacking. I’m hell at whacking.”
I first wrote this post in 2008, back in the days of Byzantium’s Shores. I repost it now on the occasion of Harrison Ford’s 80th birthday. Sheila waxes poetic on one of my favorite movies, Witness. (Yeah, I didn’t rank … Continue reading

Godspeed, John Glenn!
(A repost from exactly ten years ago, because today is the SIXTIETH anniversary of John Glenn’s flight on Friendship 7! I’ve fixed a bit of wording and removed a dead link.) Sixty years ago today, astronaut John Glenn launched in … Continue reading
No, John Williams did NOT rip off Dvorak.
UPDATE 2/18/2022: Broken link fixed. REPOSTING 2/16/2022 because…see addendum to text. UPDATE 2/7/19: This post, for some reason, must rank highly on some Google search index or something, because it’s been a relatively consistent driver of traffic to this blog ever since … Continue reading
From the Books: Mike Royko
A repost, because somehow the subject of Mike Royko came up on Twitter. For many years he was my father’s favorite columnist. I remember him handing me the Opinion section more than a few times, saying, “Royko’s got a good … Continue reading
