I re-post this every year on this date. It is the first piece of fiction I wrote after 9-11-01. “The City of Dead Works” There is never any rest for me, the Ferryman of the Dead. I pole my barge … Continue reading

“There was a time when it all went wrong….”
Ten years ago this morning, I was driving to work. My job was in a telesales office for a pharmaceutical distributor. I liked the people in the office immensely, and for what it was, the job was about as good … Continue reading
HUZZAH!!!
Seriously. Huzzah. I’m so glad that the wayward cat decided to return. (Cats can be real dumbasses, by the way. Doesn’t mean we don’t love ’em, but still….)

Snoring into Bethlehem
Some lady just got acquitted of murder, apparently. Maybe one day I’ll understand why this murder trial commands so much attention over all the other ones that barely enter the public consciousness even in the municipalities where they take place, … Continue reading
When in the course of human events….
This is a repost from July 4, one year ago today. Happy birthday, America! Here’s a really weird story. It’s so weird, I’m not sure the historians didn’t make it up out of whole cloth. It seems that around 235 … Continue reading
