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!

Tank You Very Much
Is it ever OK for sports teams to lose on purpose? I’m sure we’d all say, “Probably not”. After all, there’s a very real reason that gambling is strictly forbidden in baseball, and there’s a very real reason one of … Continue reading
I do bite my thumb, sir!
A player from the Ottawa Senators got into a scuffle with one of the Buffalo Sabres last night, biting his thumb in the process. Well, now! Clearly he does quarrel. Draw, gentlemen! It’s Capulets like these Ottawans that make blood … Continue reading
