Cellophane

July 29, 2024

Tomorrow I’m going to have eye surgery to remove a cellophane pucker in my left eye. Go right ahead, make all the jokes you like. UPDATE: The eye surgery was painless and as pleasant as these things can ever be. Afterward I was wheeled out into Kathy’s car and the ride home, where I crashed […]

Going to the Well

July 21, 2024

I’m not exactly good at walking nowadays, but I thought I’d manage well enough at riding around on the John Deere, so I headed to the tractor the other day with the intention of trimming the grass on our rancho and shortening the weeds. One of the tires had gone flat, but I knew it […]

Blowing Up

June 12, 2024

Taos Toolbox is three-quarters done, and a fine Toolbox it is. Every one of the participants is talented, and every one can have some kind of writing career if they want one. Over the weekend I blew up my left knee, by walking in a straight line on a sidewalk. I would have fallen had […]

We Conquer KU

May 23, 2024

The Accidental War, Fleet Elements, and Imperium Restored are now available (for free, I believe) on Kindle Unlimited through the end of June. Because it’s the publisher arranging this— as opposed to a mere mortal like myself— the books are also available as regular ebooks on Amazon, and are also available on all other platforms. […]

Cured Meats

May 20, 2024

I’ve been at the Truchas Peaks Place the last week, at the Rio Hondo workshop with a group of my friends. For our first meal I provided a 16-pound Serrano ham complete with carving stand. The ham had been shipped from Iberia after spending 14 months curing in a Spanish cave. Here’s what it looked […]
