  • I had every intention in the world of getting a post up yesterday. I had the whole day off, so I figured there was no excuse to not get it finished, but, it would seem, my computer had different ideas. When I bought this laptop about a year ago, I bought it because it was…

  • Man, it’s been an interesting week, if you couldn’t tell by the fact that my usual Monday Morning Reset post didn’t actually go up yesterday. I had actually forgotten that it was Monday, while actively knowing perfectly well it was Monday. It was weird, but, in my defense, last week was definitely a little more…

  • Here we are, another bright shining Monday! My week hasn’t been too terribly crazy, but, for some reason, the renewal feeling to the start of this week feels especially potent right now. I think it’s just because I know I slacked off a lot yesterday (sucked into several round of Age of Empires), but I’ve…

  • Oof, it’s been an interesting week it’s been. Between all my usual writing, reading, and working things, I’ve also had a visit with my brother and his family and a major mega sinus attack.

  • Happy Monday, everyone! I almost thought I wasn’t going to get the chance to get this post out this morning, that it would be another Monday-Morning-on-Tuesday kind of week, but then I resolved myself to just stick it out, get it out quick and good, and you’ll be all set. I still want to squeeze…

  • I missed last week’s Monday Morning Reset, and I’m a day late on this one. Let’s just pretend there’s just a lot of awesome stuff going on in my life right now that I’ve been too busy to post, when, really, it’s just that I’ve been lazy and unmotivated. No, unmotivated is not the right…

  • Did you ever sit to look back on a week and it all feels like just some blur? Yeah, I’m going through that right now. It wasn’t as if anything too taxing or strange happened, either, I just think last week was a bit of a fluke where I, in a fugue, just sort of…

  • The last few days here in Chicago have been really hot and humid, finally with a cool down with a fantastic thunderstorm last night, but that kind of muggy weather is just the thing to turn my mind toward this month’s Featured Story, “The Scrimshawed Ostrich Egg,” from author Robert Allen Lupton. It’s been a…
