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!

This is my LAST POST.
For a few days, anyway! I’m on vacation and I’m taking a break. See you on Monday! Meanwhile, here’s a sleeping dog. Share This Post
Fifty-One
I’m 51 today! Yay! This means that I have spent one year alive for every point scored by the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship Game following the 1990 season. (They beat the Raiders 51-3.) I have one year in … Continue reading
We’re at a wedding tonight…
…so here’s a cat. Share This Post
Day Seven (the last day)
I’m going to stop counting the COVID days after today, because I think it’s pretty much done. I’m back to work Monday, so…yay. I have a bad feeling about what my Inbox is going to look like when I get back, … Continue reading
Writing and other pursuits….(day six)

Day Four

An Hypothetical
So, you’re cleaning out your house. It’s a pretty big house, and you’ve got a lot of stuff to get rid of. But you’re sure the town trash service will be perfectly happy to deal with all of it, so you … Continue reading
“First offense, BAM! Into the colon you go!”
Mr. Carlin on germs and disease (play through headphones if you’re at work and you share a desk with some easily-offended Karen-type): Obviously I’m not in total agreement here, but it’s fun watching an artist at the top of his … Continue reading
Of Elbows and Tables
“Don’t put your elbows on the table!” Anybody know where this shit came from? Because it’s dumb. Back in my college days, our musical groups all had their own odd quirks and traditions. One of the Wartburg Choir’s stranger ones (I … Continue reading →
