Continue reading →: A Year of RemembranceI’m 55 now, which I have stated here recently is the beginning of the senior years for men where I live. The math is simple: average lifespan divided by three to give youth, middle age, and senior brackets. (This is the logic a lot of companies seem to use to…

Continue reading →: Quick and Dirty Super Summary of the 2025 Writing YearThere may be a tiny bit of rounding here. I’m drafting this about a week before New Year’s Eve and trying to set it up so that I’ll just have to change the numbers because I’m not expecting any major changes otherwise. I won’t promise I won’t do any writing…

Continue reading →: Happy Birthday to MeI’m 55 today. To be a bit depressing for a moment, where I live the average male life expectancy is 81 by current demographics. Dividing that into thirds for youth, middle age, and let’s call them senior years, we come up with 0-27, 28-54, and 55-81. So, if I’ve just…

Yes, there are some waffle…

Continue reading →: Back To School 2025I’ve been having a hard time setting aside writing time this month. Trying to fix that today. Yes, this is a back-to-school post, but it’s related. I’m a graduate student now and have been since the first of May. Summer term is for research, though, and while I feel like…

Continue reading →: Poems by the Writer as a Young ChildI spent part of my childhood on the west coast and in Grade 5 was part of an experimental 5/6/7 split. Lessons and assignments were more fluid and open than was typical in any other classroom I was in while growing up. Based on a handful of things I found…

Continue reading →: Too Many T-Shirts?Is that even possible? Too many is probably a relative term. I accumulate t-shirts regularly. From events, academic pursuits, martial arts gatherings, random stops in stores where I don’t expect to find anything interesting but do, and periodic orders from geek shopping sites.
