It’s 1AM, I have to drive back to Ohio for a wedding tomorrow, and I can’t sleep. Blech.
So my friend Shannon posted this joke to a mailing list I’m on this morning. I thought I’d pass it on. A tourist walked into a curio shop in San Francisco. Looking around at the exotica, he noticed a very lifelike, life-sized bronze statue of a rat. It had no price tag, but it was […]
This is more for my own edification than for any of y’all out there, but still… My personal mission is to consume, examine, combine and create various media elements to tell stories, make money, and/or improve lives. There. That should be broad enough to encompass what I’m trying to do and yet still provide some […]

I guess literary events are good for my imagination. Last night, after we got back from the Potterfest, my brain clicked a little more. I woke up this morning and wrote another 2500 words for my novel (nine pages). That brings my total up to 21,670 words so far, or around 81 pages. That’s a […]
So SarahScott, Nick Ferraro and I all went down to the Bethesda Barnes and Noble tonight to go Pottering. Harry Pottering, that is – Nick had reserved a copy of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and while SSB and I had hoped to pick up copies of our own, our efforts were […]
Quick, honest question, and I want everyone who reads this to answer this one. You don’t have to use your real name if you don’t want to, but I still want an answer. Yes or no: Are you happy? If you’re so inclined, details on what it is that makes you happy would be appreciated. […]
