Fitness Update: decreasing diversity
Well, this past week has been one of recovery from the long, exciting days of WorldCon. The vacation week meant I hit all my points target on my MisFit, but didn't do any running, swimming, or cycling. This past week I didn't manage to get any swimming or running in either. I cycled enough to … Continue reading Fitness Update: decreasing diversity
#118: When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in … Continue reading #118: When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
The Evils of a Lack of Indifference…
"... how much happier you would be if you only knew that these people cared nothing about you!

A Blast of the Past #61: The Shaved Look
2005 was also the first time I tried the shaved head look. It was a one-time one-day thing this first time, but I went from the long hair to the no hair look. The above pictures give a sort of serial of the shave process:
An hour of fame …

Review: Fantasy uses mystery and mayhem well
A Lake Most Deep by Rob Howell "A man, a horse, and a vicious kidnapping and murder saved me." I just reread the above line, to use as the intro for my review. And I just realized what it means. But I won't tell you. To do so would be to spoil too much of … Continue reading Review: Fantasy uses mystery and mayhem well
MidAmeriCon II: Dead Dog Reflections
This morning my Facebook gave me a memory post from last year which said: Off the cuff reflection on the Hugos: When those without power speak truth to those in power, it can be amazing exactly how childish those in power choose to be. I think it is a very good referential point to start … Continue reading MidAmeriCon II: Dead Dog Reflections
MidAmeriCon II, Day 5 (Sunday, August 21, 2016)
10 a.m. - Two Suns in the Sky Panelists: Courtney Schafer, Eva Elasigue This panel was missing its third panelist. Perhaps that person would have kept it from being dry.
