Sick. My throat is swollen and swallowing hurts. Took the day off sick from work. A visit to the doctor in the near future is a possibility. My sister compared symptoms and tells me I might have strep.
Driving back from my writer’s workshop in Cleveland last night was wild. Big thunderstorm hit, could hardly see […]

After reading about Nalo’s Mango Roasted Chicken in her newsgroup, I decided to try it on my own this afternoon. I got a slightly green mango and cut it into six parts. I cubed it and plopped the pieces on and around two chicken breast pieces (palm sized) in a small baking dish, and squeezed […]

Some more thoughts about the CEOs of Lucent, Enron, and Worldcom:
One of the problems with old school USSR communism as I have read is the fact that once a person realizes that they will be paid no matter what their efforts, the society loses efficacy and desire to work real hard. Why work hard if […]

Apparently it isn’t all that exciting, but we have an asteroid to keep an eye on in 2019.

Todays topic: Watch Out, Handwaving Ahead…
I came across was an article that Lucent lost almost 8 billion dollars this quarter.
This quarter, in -3- freaking months. To solve this they fired 7000 workers, with more to come. Most of this loss comes from a ‘noncash charge’ (whatever that is, they don’t explain) of 5.8 bil. Okay, […]

Close call! Good news. Spread it, I’m not seeing it in too many places, but the outcry over TIPS finally reached back into the high places, and it has been struck down!

Well I had great fun at the Clarion reunion. Got to meet some of the class of 2002, and got to see Tim Powers and Karen Joy Fowler again. It was great to see Lister, Mary Sheridan still behind the scenes and keeping everything running smoothly.
Chatted with any number of reunionees there (deep breath, full […]

So after I finish work at 5 I’m hopping in the car and heading up to the Clarion reunion. Forgot to mention that earlier.
Brian Plante has a series of really interesting articles he’s writing about an anonymous workshop he’s attending. This is really just about one of the more fascinating writerly type things I’m following […]
