All you fall-lovers can go to hell. Happy Autumnal Equinox, you smug bastards. All right, all right, enough of that. I’m baiting you and indulging myself – on purpose, of course. The truth, as ever, is more complicated. My baiting indulgence and cruel cursing is rooted in a couple of factors.

I always liked to climb trees, scrambling much higher than my motherContinue reading “I Don’t Hate New Hampshire After All”
System Problems?
“If you don’t like the system, create your own system.” — Abd’el Hakim Awyan, Khemitian Wisdom Keeper In the true fashion of a stereotypically unreliable wizard, I spontaneously took the last two weeks off. I wanted to begin work on a fictional side-project and recharge my own batteries to prepare for the seasonal changes toContinue reading “System Problems?”
