Witches of Fleet Street

I imagine new reasons to stay inside the Hermit Cave all the time. Today I get my hair cut, which is always an endeavor to get me to do. It’s really easy to call I–, but something inside stops me, or I find something to stop me. I used to think that the feeling was [...]
The pinata saboteur

Delicious defeat

It’s the end of the day, and I’ve escaped International Night practice with a shred of dignity still intact. The building is warm and my sweat makes it feel warmer with the lack of a breeze, so I’m ready to go. I stop at my mailbox to see what items need to be ignored until [...]
The best laid plans
Wednesday, April 30, 2008

Whiteout
Wednesday, February 6, 2008
We joke about how little snow there is in the morning based on the weather reports from the day before. It’s nothing more than a little rain where we are, though a tune in to the radio or news would have told us a different story.
Sometimes I need THREE showers

The Hermit Cave is dank and deep, but sometimes it takes just a bit more scrubbing to wash the stank out of outside world excusions.
Planet Indy 2007

I’m at GenCon. While I’m there, my wife sees my niece at a family party back in Chicago. She’s four (my niece), and she still gets a little confused when we tell her things.
