Yay! This is awesome. I know what I’m doing this afternoon!

In the mornings, after Calliope has eaten, we go around to the back yard. I suppose that, by definition, it can be called a yard. It’s a area of land “next to, surrounding, or surrounded by a building or buildings,” which “building(s)” could, I suppose, mean my house. It could also be defined as a…

If you’re really working, trying, doing your best to spend about an hour every day, after work or school or whatever, to write… and you hold aspirations to be a “writer,” to maybe support yourself one day by your craft alone, does that make writing a hobby? Or is it something more? A passion? What…

Getting out of bed at 7:15 is horrible, for the most part. The sun has a bleary and squashed look about it. Outside, there’s a fug to the neighborhood that doesn’t seem to go away until nine o’clock or so. In North Carolina, even morning in September (which is still considered summer by my standards……

I’m fairly sure it was a Spissistilus festinus, or what the oldsters call a “Three-cornered Alfalfa Hopper.”As I was already accelerating toward the usual 80 mph that Triangle drivers find…
