Or maybe I found it. Most folks probably know I've been out of work for the majority of this year, and that hasn't changed. I had some promising interviews with Large Company that will not be named, but has so far come to nothing, so I'm still looking. Not sure if they're ghosting me, or … Continue reading I’ve Lost That Christmas Spirit
From my front yard, coordinates 45.5229° N, 122.9898° W And I'm not sure, but did I catch a solar prominence, top right-ish? There's a little reddish thing about about "1 o'clock". It got very dim, and a few degrees cooler. Standing under the shade of the maple tree in my yard felt like night, although … Continue reading Eclipse 2017
So... Long time, no see! Between bad weather (being snowed in with no power for 2 days in January) and just general life stuff, the blog has once again taken a back seat to... well, everything. In an effort to rectify that (at least to a small extent) I thought I'd post a snippet of … Continue reading Flotsam

The book needs to be … Continue reading Indie Author News – Multnomah Co. Library Wants to Read Your Book
Not much writing news lately. I did finally add another chapter to Lassuni's War on Wattpad. In the meantime, I wanted to share some nice views of the area from yesterday afternoon. The clouds were spectacular. I've also taken to photographing open fields, because they are disappearing at an alarming rate. There's so much development … Continue reading Oregon Vistas
View from my drive home.
Wow, I registered with WP 8 years ago. Eight years. Holy smokes. I started with my Wandering Mind blog back then, mostly chronicling my bicycle adventures. That blog has lain dormant for many years now while I've focused on writing and Tarot (on the Dangling Pentacles Tarot blog), which admittedly has been more active recently … Continue reading My WordPress-iversary
... when you feel like the world is kicking your ass You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be. It’s their mistake, not my failing – Richard P Feynman
With all the talk of Twitter moving to an algorithmic system that promotes "popular" posts (read: things that make the company more money) I'm preparing to either abandon it, or use it less. In any event, I've started a Tumblog which can be found here. Not much there yet since I just started it today. … Continue reading New Locations Now Open
