Slightly Out Today
There is very little reason for it, but I feel slightly out of my body today. Yesterday I had to force my eyes to focus, but today I’m just a few inches out of my own skin. It’s not disassociating–I know what that feels like, and it’s in my head rather than a whole body […]

The Wisdom of Trundles
Trundles knows the world is a crazy, sometimes very scary place. Trundles hasn’t read or watched the news–he was too busy trying to roll over, a perennial goal his corkscrewed body rarely reaches but that doesn’t stop him from trying. However, he has heard me discuss current events with Miss B (who always listens, but […]

Onward, I Suppose
I finished reading Volume 1 of Nevins on the Civil War yesterday morning. I’m going to go on to Shelby Foote instead of diving into the Brothers Karamazov; I am just not mentally prepared for the Russians right now. After The Vegetarian, I think I need time to scab over. Nevins has some drawbacks, but […]

That Simple
The Little Prince just came home from a friend’s house. ME: Oh, hi. How was it? MY SON: It was okay. They didn’t have a pump for the soccer ball, but I hung out to talk with X and Y. ME: *trying to place the name with a face* Y…is that the girl who was […]

REVIEW: The Vegetarian
I read a review of Han Kang’s The Vegetarian not so long ago, and was intrigued enough to pick it up. I read it all in one sitting–well, mostly, with only a short break to make and consume dinner with the Little Prince–and, when I had finished, felt as if my interior space, physical as […]

Future Travel
Yesterday I put the Princess on a plane. She’s part of a German-American exchange–remember Frau L? Now it’s the Princess’s turn to visit a strange land. (So far this morning she says, “Seen a KFC. Distinct lack of pickup trucks. Also, no turn signals.”) It’s amazing that we can communicate virtually instantaneously over such distances. […]

Who Lives Here?
A ramble with Miss B (whose leg is doing fine, though I am still chary of taking her running) always shows me something interesting. I’m not sure this tree will survive the hole at its base, but while it does, I think about what could live in such a space. Stories are everywhere. You can’t […]

Fine, Really.
First up, the obligatory shilling: there are new perks for the MARKED Indiegogo campaign, and the first sneak peek for June is up at my Patreon. Also, if you like what I do, you can buy me a coffee. Oh, and Cloud Watcher, book four of the Watchers series, is $.99 on Kindle right now. […]

A Full Weekend
I’ve added new perks to the Indiegogo campaign for The Marked. If you have an idea for a perk, do let me know. This past weekend, the Princess graduated from high school. (Good Lord, I feel old.) Yes, I cried. That seems the only appropriate response when you’ve successfully managed to get a tiny dependent […]

Audible Cryptography
Written music is a code, and breaking it is easier with a teacher. Since mine headed off across the continent, I’ve been tooling along on my own. Audible cryptography isn’t something I ever thought I’d be interested in, but there it is. Despite the frustration, I like it. It gives my brain something else to […]
