Gauthic Times #82 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or End of the Line (Edits)…and More to Come

Hello, friends. This summer has been one crazy week after another. I can’t say that I’ve entirely been fond of how busy I’ve been outside of the writing/creative stuff. And now I have one full week of summer vacation left and still so much to do. While there wasn’t as much done this week as […]

Gauthic Times #81 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or Storm Clouds in the Heat

Hello, friends. This past week felt pretty crazy. G had a summer drama camp, the play of which was on Friday, and there were other things going on, too, which made for a particularly stressful first half of the week. Between G’s basketball, guitar lessons, the drama camp, and things going on with the adults, […]

Gauthic Times #80 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or Last Gasps or There’s Still So Much to Do!

Hello, friends. The subtitle of this post seems so drastic, so dramatic, so scary! I can read your mind thinking, Is he all right? Is he sick?! Have his hemorrhoids finally won?!? Sorry about that last one. No I’m not. But the title refers not to me but rather to summer vacation. This will be […]

Gauthic Times #79 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or NoCon Weekend & Everything’s Fine

Hello, friends. Part of the title of this update is, of course, referencing the famous meme with the dog sitting in the burning house, saying, “Everything’s fine,” because that’s what it feels like. I have some Thoughts and I’m not sure I should share them. I probably will eventually because I feel like I must […]

Gauthic Times #78 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or Signing of the Times

Hello, friends! What a week! The world is a huge, raging dumpster fire, we knew that, but apparently there’s stuff that can explode inside the dumpster, too, and–damn!–we’re in trouble. That said, let’s do what we always do and ignore it and move on. In my world, the week was stressful and pretty good. Let’s […]

Gauthic Times #77 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or Born in the U.S.A.

Hello, friends. Another busy week here in Gautham. Writing, art, shmoozing, and getting the ol’ heart broken one news story at a time. This coming week looks to be pretty crazy, too. The Fourth of July was a bittersweet one, wasn’t it? I’ve never really been a fan. I’m not a flag-waving type. I think […]

Gauthic Times #76 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or Signings & File Sizes

Hello, friends! What a busy week it’s been! G had a week of a half-day summer camp at the local private school. This past week was fencing, which she fell in love with. I may need to sell plasma in order for her to continue with it. There were also two basketball games, doctors’ appointments […]

Gauthic Times #75 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or Attempting a Re-Launch

Hello, friends. The first full week of vacation has come and gone and I’ve been busy. G finished school on Monday and had two basketball games this week (she won the second one, her third game this year!). I did a bunch of things though for the writing gig. A good week. So, let’s do […]

Gauthic Times #74 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or Summer Vacation XVIII Begins!

Hello, friends! The 2023-2024 school year has officially ended! What a ride it was, too. G has one more day of school and her first year back in public school since 2020 is done. So is her elementary school experience. Next year she starts middle school and she is very excited. Next year, I start […]

Gauthic Times #73 News & Other Stuff from Bill Gauthier, or The Last Week, Part XVIII

Hello, friends. This week will be the last week of the 2023-2024 school year and, if my math is correct (which it rarely is), my eighteenth last week of school. I began my journey in education as a teaching assistant during the 2006-2007 school year and began teaching the following year. I can’t wait for […]
