Continue reading →: And Another Thing…Okay, maybe not daily exactly, but something that I want to start doing in the second half of May. It’s time to start sending out stories again. Past time, really. I know I’ve hit this note before, but I have a lot of things that should be out looking for…

Continue reading →: Hire A Copy EditorRemember Van Halen’s “no brown M&Ms” clause? Remember how the media presented it as displaying the self-centered and excess-driven culture of rock stars but how it was actually designed to let the band and its team know when to look for safety issues at a venue? After all, if the…

Continue reading →: SF Saturday: AD Police: To Protect and Serve, Episode 10I came to AD Police through Bubblegum Crisis, an anime a friend introduced me to in the early 1990s when it was still a recent crossing. Subtitles rather than dubbed. Dubs were pretty rare at the time, I think. AD Police: To Protect and Serve is the fifth of six…

Continue reading →: Six-Word StoriesWhatever I said or thought when I came up with the theme, and whatever restrictions I’ve placed on things either here or in my head, at some point during the May Micro theme, I’m going to try to write a six-word story. Note the word try in there. If you’re…

Continue reading →: Holy crap, I’m a Grad student!My first time through university in the early 1990s, it’s safe to say I was an erratic student. If I liked the course, I did well. If I didn’t like it, I did poorly. If I hated it, I did the bare minimum amount of work to pass and no…

I suggested (okay, stated outright) that I was going to return to the idea of each month of 2025 having a writing theme beginning May 1st. That plan calls for a piece of micro-fiction every day in May, May Micro, if you’ll excuse the alliteration, which I’m going to do…

Continue reading →: Cultural ProgrammingThe cultural programming you’re force fed as a child runs deep. I’ve been an open atheist for several decades, but do you know how many stupid hymns and Christian children’s songs still live rent-free in my head? Sometimes it seems like all of them. Apparently, Aristotle said something to the…

Continue reading →: Canada’s Election Results – My PerspectiveI went to bed last night late enough that we knew we’d have a Liberal government, but no one could say for sure whether it would be a minority or a majority government. It looked like it was trending minority, but there were still enough ridings with close races that…

Continue reading →: Happy Election Eve
Here in Canada, it’s already Election Eve. Those of us who didn’t vote in the advance polls have one more sleep until it’s time to do the bare minimum civic duty and we figure out which party or parties gets to govern for the next little while. We have a…

Continue reading →: Grandma’s Sand Cake RecipeI don’t know why I’m thinking about this lately. Maybe because I haven’t made it for a while. Sand Cake is a traditional Danish (Sandkage) coffee cake, apparently very common in Denmark when my father’s family emigrated, and is named for its golden appearance not dryness. It’s likely still common,…
