• Book buying promo post

    December 15, 2013 /

    It’s coming up on Christmas. Are you getting gifts for people? If so, let me suggest my books. If you can’t find them (the Crosspointe are temporarily hard to come by), just email me and I’ll sell them to you…

  • It’s all in the stomach

    December 14, 2013 /

    We have all been sick this week. Well, except the man. But the boy has had it worse and it doesn’t seem to be clearing up. I took him to the doctor earlier in the week, but nothing seems to…

  • Books that stuck

    December 12, 2013 /

    There’s a meme running around asking people to mention ten books that have stuck with you for whatever reason or which have been influential. I like the meme, so I’m joining in. I’m skipping over the little kids books I…

  • Oh the thinks you can think

    December 11, 2013 /

    There are now things on the walls of my office. Swords, axes, pictures, maps . . . the usual. Then there are stacks of boxes that need to be emptied. Boxes of stuff. Supplies. Useful things, but they aren’t all…

    December 8, 2013 /

  • Office progress

    December 7, 2013 /

    We did some touch up painting on my office today and installed the shelves. Had to cut out some molding here and there to make it work, but the shelves are installed. Turns out one of the shelves is not…

  • Icy

    December 6, 2013 /

    It got scary icy today. I took the kids to school and all was fine, but then snow began to fall. No big deal. I’m from Montana. Easy to deal with. Only the snow melted and put down a layer…

  • Making progress

    December 5, 2013 /

    I wrote that title, making progress, like I actually am. But it’s snail’s progress. The office will be ready for furniture and shelves by Saturday. It would have gone faster if I didn’t want two colors. Tonight we’ll touch up…

  • silly salad of stuff

    December 4, 2013 /

    Yesterday I went to Costco and on the way out, I got to see a guy (at least 30, but I think in his 40s) pull up his underwear (gray), but not his pants (sliding down his thighs). Why oh…
