Where have I been?
So… I’ve been distracted by life and haven’t done much around the ol’ blog. Sorry about that. I’m working on fixing it and plan to be here more with updates and interesting things. Slowly at first and then we’ll see how things go. At this point, I don’t want to But to the point of where

Welcome back to My Brain
Well. It’s been a while. Far too long, actually. Been dealing with life, stuff and things – which I’ll endeavor to explain a little in another post. Still am dealing with those things, actually, but I want to get back to being here and writing posts if for no other reason than to get some

Plot Holes. It Doesn’t Make Sense But We Really Don’t Care – Mostly
A series of things came together to make my brain go, “Huh.” This is the way. The way of my brain… First thing. I was watching a rerun of Young Sheldon with my mom. The episode was about how Sheldon’s mother and father were dealing with the fallout of Sheldon’s mentor being hospitalized for a

I Hate Themes
The thing about themes is – they make things sooooo easy, right? Someone else takes the time to lay everything out, make it look good and all you have to do is fill in a few blanks. Except, they still have their challenges when it comes down to it. Take, for example, the theme I

Quarantine Ramblings
It’s been an interesting couple of months. Understatement of the century? We’re all cooking more, reading more, playing more games, watching more things online. Adapting. For the most part. For me, I’ve definitely been cooking more. I post most of it on social media. Cooking provides a bit of control in a situation that feels

Photo Friday: A Stream By Any Other Name
Here is the photo: Here was the conversation (mostly paraphrased from memory): “There’s a stream!” “Stream or creek?” “Creek?” “Crick?” “Babbling brook.” “Brook.” “Tributary.” This was taken in Rocky Mountain National Park, July 2014.

Photo Friday: Rocky Mountain National Park 1
I thought I’d start us out with a nice shot pretty close to the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. I was -thrilled- to see so much green up there compared to a couple years back when the beetle damage was so rampant and you could see these brown veins pulsing through the trees. The

Idaho Springs Colorado is a little town nestled in the Clear Creek Vally about thirty miles West of Denver on I70. At an elevation of 7, 526 feet, it can get pretty cold there in the winter (I went white water rafting there a couple summers ago!). You have to pass through one of the

Photo Tuesday: Lookit all the books!
This past weekend, I flew to Columbus, Ohio to attend the World Fantasy Convention. I knew from past conventions that I’ve attended, that you usually get a bag of goodies. It never occurred to me that this convention would give me a bag full of books. Holy cow. Don’t get me wrong, I was thrilled

Photo Tuesday-Pride Rock
Last weekend, I had the chance to hang out with Karen & Curtis, who were in town for Thanksgiving. Karen is Karen Burnham of SF Signal, Spiral Galaxy & Locus fame. She’s been coming on the SF Signal podcast since the beginning and I got the chance to meet her and her husband at World Fantasy. When they called to say they would be in Denver I was thrilled they thought to contact me to hang out. When I suggested we might do some mountain type stuff, they were thrilled…
