Rifts in Time

August 17, 2024

Another dip into the archives today. Found was the copy-edit on THE RIFT. I was reminded that the manuscript was seven inches thick and amounted to a historically significant 1066 pages. (My own grueling Battle of Hastings) It was an open question whether binding technology would actually get a book that long between covers. After […]

Your Career Can Be Yours!

August 12, 2024

Today Kathy strapped a bunch of wall calendars in some homemade shipping containers, with the intension of sending them off to TAMU special collections. Why wall calendars? Because they contain day-to-day tracking of my life for the last thirty-odd years. (Assuming of course that anyone in the future is interested in such a thing.) Plus: […]

July 31, 2024

I didn’t sleep well last night because I’d had eye surgery that morning and had this lump of stuff pasted over my eye, but the lump of stuff came off this morning and I had a successful nap. Frankly I look terrifying. The sclera of my left eye is bright blood red, with the iris […]

I Cannot Walk

July 2, 2024

Oh, I can lurch. And shuffle. And I can dodder and shamble. I’m very good at hobbling. I limp, and I’m getting to be an expert at tottering. But walk normally? Not so much. The last month hasn’t been good to me, locomotion-wise. My knees, both of them, have taken up collapsing, fortunately not at […]
