Elen síla lúmenn’ omentielvo!
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!

Forty-four percent
I see that he has finally exited the stage, after tormenting the nation for twenty-two years, or fourty-four percent of my life. He’s gone. It’s over, at long, long last. I look forward to eventually learning the real secret of his … Continue reading
The problem with the playoffs is only one team gets a happy ending.
I haven’t written about football in this space (well, not this space, but you know what I mean) in years. I stopped watching football regularly more than ten years ago, and now I only watch if I happen to be someplace … Continue reading
How to Anger the Twitter Gods
I’m in Hour Two of a twelve-hour long suspension from Twitter because I broke one of its rules. The suspension happened very quickly, so obviously I didn’t manage to render my thought in poetic enough fashion to not trigger Twitter’s content … Continue reading

Super Bowl trivia questions!
It’s THAT weekend, again! If you need some Super Bowl trivia questions for your socially-distanced Super Bowl Party On Zoom, here you go! These are recycled from last year, with revisions to two questions based on the results of last … Continue reading
From the Books: THE BOYS OF SUMMER, by Roger Kahn
My years with the Dodgers were 1952 and 1953, two seasons in which they lost the World Series to the Yankees. You may glory in a team triumphant, but you fall in love with a team in defeat. Losing … Continue reading

NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has announced his retirement after a 17-year career. Fitzpatrick was drafted in the 7th round of the 2005 by the Rams, while they were still in St. Louis, after playing college ball at Harvard. He then … Continue reading →
