I had my first typewriter at five years old. I have been writing ever since. All the words on this blog are true, in one way or another. All of the art is as well. Thanks for visiting, and I hope you enjoy your stay.

I’m going back and rereading my novel-in-eternal-progress, and… … it’s not terrible! Hooray! Maybe 2027 will be the year I finally finish the fucking thing. I’ve only been working on it for a decade now. Speedy, I am not, at least with...
Just thinking, as one does, about the first and original Godzilla film (the original Japanese title being Gojira), released in 1954 as an allegory for the nuclear holocausts of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and how every adult actor in that...
I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep up the Blaugust momentum, but yesterday I just didn’t have the oomph to get anything done on the blogging front. It was a busy day at work, and after coming home and having some dinner, I just wanted to...

It’s been a long time since we’ve taken a road trip, and even longer since we’ve been able to spend the night away from home (you try doing that with a dog, two cats, and fifteen chickens). We figured some day we’d be able to do it...
I’ve been revisiting some old archives in my writing folders, because to be honest, I’ve forgotten a lot of what’s in them. I’d say these particular folders go back about fifteen years, and friends, that’s a lot of writing just sitting...
We live in the future now. There are no rules anymore. I’m too tired to post. This totally counts. Goodnight, all! Send me an email Latest 3 posts 14 Aug, 2026 Does Posting That I’m Too Tired to Post Still Count for Blaugust? 13 Aug,...
I currently have 70,000 unread emails in my inbox. Do not @ me. (Unless you want to send me an email; then definitely @ me.) Send me an email Latest 3 posts 13 Aug, 2026 I am Deadly Serious 11 Aug, 2026 A Foggy Longing 10 Aug, 2026...
The fog coming in to work this morning was heavy, which always surprises me, living here in Maine. I assume that it’s normal for this area, but it’s still always a bit of a shock to go outside and not be able to see more than twenty feet...
It’s morning, just after dawn, which is bad enough, but it’s also Monday, which makes it worse. I don’t hate Mondays in some existential Garfield sort of way, but it’s still a rough way to start the week. The dog is having a morning...
We have a psycho kitty. He’s always been a psycho kitty. We thought he always would be a psycho kitty. Except. Since moving to the woods, he has mellowed considerably. He was never a mean cat, just prone to panic attacks and freaking out...
None: both of them will make me fall asleep. Zzzz. Send me an email Latest 3 posts 09 Aug, 2026 What’s the Difference Between Laying On the Couch With a Cat or Laying On the Couch With a Human Baby? 07 Aug, 2026 The Optimism of...
I subscribe to more podcasts than I have the time to actually listen to, and so I’ve got a large backlog going back several years. Currently, I’m working through mid-2021. Hush. I know I have a problem. You don’t need to point it out....
I had a lunch of takeout sushi in my car and managed not to drip any soy on my shirt. If you knew me, you’d know that this is definitely a win for me. You may now send applause my way. Send me an email Latest 3 posts 06 Aug, 2026 Today...
I spent some down time at work today chatting with an 86 year old man, both of us standing in the lobby, neither of us in any rush. It wasn’t any sort of serious conversation about anything meaningful, just two people killing a little...
