i try never to respond to a compliment with a compliment. to me it comes off disingenuous. i say thanks. #
disingenuous is maybe a strong way to say it. patronizing, maybe. #
joepiscopalians #
seriously i have a good excuse to be up right now… i want to sleep on the plane. but some of you… #
in addition to other things: today i finished my 6th issue of doc savage. my job is fantastic. #
i hate having to say this, but. happy birthday to @urbanbarbarian. may you live long. well, you've already lived really long, so. longER. #
got on the plane with no scanners or fondling. literally no one else on line, 10 min to the gate. off to tokyo. #
the convention in singapore just sent me 3D reference models of my signing and speaking areas. that's thorough. #
