“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”- William Faulkner My ambivalence … Continue reading Reading Log: Heir of Fire

Sunday Sum Up, 01/13/2019
It's a snowy Sunday around here. The forecast was for a couple of inches of snow, and we ended up with about seven inches of heavy, wet snow. Great for building snowmen, bad for driving anywhere. Nevertheless, I went to work and after that I stopped at the library. I'd planned to drive downtown and … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up, 01/13/2019

This is a little later than usual today. I was out late last night and slept in this morning. Why was I out late? I went to see a movie for the first time in ages! I'm planning to go see another one later this week. Whoa! More about the movies later. This week was … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up, 01/06/2019

I was, of course, cheering for Nebraska, but sadly they couldn't pull off winning the championship for the second straight year. They lost to Stanford in five … Continue reading Sunday Sum Up, 12/16/2018
Sunday Sum-Up, 12/09/2018
Another quick update! It's been mostly work and very little play around here. I'm done with this whole December thing. Bring me January! It was one of those weeks where I got pretty sick of people early on and then had to keep dealing with people. Not a fun scenario for an introvert, although … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up, 12/09/2018
Sunday Sum-Up
It's been a cold and gloomy week around here, capped by a weekend of snow, ice, and rain. And just as it happens every year, I did not get to spend my lone day off relaxing. I had to do a bunch of adulting, which included most of an hour spent on hold. Not … Continue reading Sunday Sum-Up
