• I had a plan

    Today I had the plan of going to Missoula to do some location research on Blood Winter. Sadly I have now come down with the kid crap. Illness rarely keeps me awake unless it’s significant, and unless I am coughing.…

  • Making contact

    Dear character: After that shocking thing happened, you appear way too happy about it. Stop it. You really aren’t. In fact, one of these days you’re going to find out how really unhappy you are and then, well, guess what?…

  • the days keep coming

    I’ve just discovered something that probably everybody else already knew. But I’m sharing anyhow. For the past couple weeks, I’ve paused on the white Chuck Lorre Productions page that pops up after The Big Bang Theory, and I’ve read the…

  • Oddities and ends

    First, I want to do what American Pickers do.I want to go places and rifle through cool junk and find treasures. I watched a documentary on Ketamine. I didn’t realize it was such a growing street drug. I wonder how…
