If you look in the left column you'll see a new link to 2020 Books. Posting book reviews allows me to feel like I wrote something, without really writing. I'll still post book reviews when I read something particularly interesting, but otherwise I'll put the reviews on the review page …

My web host got bought out by a large hosting company that I don't want to deal with. So I get to migrate to a new host. This is made infinitely easier by the fact that this site is just a collection of HTML files and images. Yay for not …

So I actually managed to push a blog post every day in December. And by every day I mean there is a post dated for each day of the month. I actually wrote ahead by a day or two for much of the month. I'm sure you are wondering what …

My buddy Hart Brachen just came back to daily writing after taking a year off from the Internet. Of course, he was returning from the award winning cartoon blog Soxaholix. I don’t have quite that kind of track record. However, I have written at least weekly more …

It was a cold and windy one, that night of Dec 31, 1995. OK, actually I have no idea if it was cold or windy. We lived in GA so it was probably humid and mild. What I do remember is that my wife was 7+ months pregnant with our …
