Sabbatical

Hi. It’s been a really tough week here. To tell the truth, it’s been a really tough year. It is a time of endings and perhaps beginnings.

Right now my heart and mind are not drawn to blogging. I’m writing in other forms, and I just can’t seem myself keeping this blog going.

I may change my mind, but don’t expect to see posts here any time soon.

I’m sorry to disappoint my few regular readers, but I’ve got to go. Thanks for stopping by.

Arthur C. Clarke Died Tomorrow

He was a writer, a visionary, and a good man. The last of the great golden-age science fiction writers, his writing showed us the future. When he told us how have instant global communication by putting satellites in geosynchronous orbits, he shaped the future; he may even have saved us from ourselves.

Marian Solarium

It seems like people see images of the Virgin Mary just about anywhere. She shows up on trees, in glass, and on potato chips. It must be something about me, but I usually just see a squiggle. Sometimes, you really have to squint to see anything at all. And sometimes, it's probably better not to look at all.

But Scientists Said It, So It Must Be So . . .

Paper or . . .

Goodbye Gary Gygax

Where's a high level cleric when you need one? Gary Gygax, an icon of my youth, has passed away. I feel (rolls dice) pretty sad.
