If you could plug yourself into a charger or stick your hand on a changing mat and magically re-charge. Well, I think it'd be damn handy. Especially in muggy gross weather. Summer so far is horrible. I'm not a fan. Enough about my dislike of wet weather.I stumbled across something the other day that sounded … Continue reading Wouldn’t it be great …

I Walk The Line
Thanks to Johnny Cash for the title, but, I think we all know I don't walk the line ... I repel over that thing at every opportunity. It's in my genes. I finished teaching for the year. It was fun, as always. I very much hope my students go on and write amazing crime novels. … Continue reading I Walk The Line

Happy Halloween, if that's your thing. It's not so much mine. Some of my kids do enjoy the Halloween thing. I used to celebrate All Hallow's Eve once upon a time, with a big family dinner and places set for those we've lost (in Wiccan fashion). Now I don't have a table we all fit … Continue reading Octo 31st, 2021

Also, I won't be masked while teaching because I have someone who lip-reads in the class.Anywho, today the research … Continue reading Gearing up …
Last Man Standing.
It's a week until The byte Series Volume Four launches. I don't know how to mark that. I've never really done much for the launch of the boxed sets.
