Update: Writing & Other Wonders

I hate logging in when I haven’t posted in a while and seeing how the visitor numbers drop off in my absence. Oh man, do I. On the other hand, experience shows that silence is far superior to making something up just to jog the stats. And I have been writing, oh yes. Often in [...]

Catching Up Again

The first thing was, I tried to cut off my ear. Well, sort of. Don’t try this at home, but if you do trim the hair around your sideburns, be very careful where you put the tip of the scissors. I actually felt the blades cut into my ear and wondered, “What the hell am [...]

Catalyst of Never Minding

in Personal, Writing

Probably the main reason I’ve pimped living in a spider-infested dump with accompanying idiot psychodramas is that it has an amazing mountain view, plus there was a bear in the plum tree a few years back. You gotta love bears. I don’t why everybody doesn’t want one. So the location is fabulous, never mind the [...]

My wife is out of town, I shaved anyway. Settling down to write some new stuff. It’s a beautiful day here in Taos, but watch where you step! (←) If you’re hard up for something to do, these Taos area videos may brighten your day: here, here, and here.

Jesus Christ, the goddamn cat’s been there for at least 10 days! It’s their cat, too. We thought it would be gone by now anyway, carried off by a passing coyote. But what with the below-zero temperatures, snow, and a pack of local dogs to scare off scavengers, the body is with us still. I [...]

Mac Writer Emeritus

in Writing

Another step in the long march to oblivion! Namely, I just officially “retired” from Mac writing. [crickets...] The thunderclap of silence following this announcement is no doubt due to the fact that almost none of you remember that I ever did, har. Two or three regular readers certainly do, however, including the man who hired [...]

New Buffalo Lights

in Personal, Writing

For those of you who don’t know, Buffalo Lights is a collection of stories and essays about moving to New Mexico. Seeing as how this defied all reason, caused enormous pain, and may yet be the best thing that ever happened to us, the tale is pretty intense.

Two Days a Week

[Let's try this again, shall we?] I‘ve just made a startling turn in my life. Instead of having my day job of maintaining websites for clients in constant conflict with my own projects—that which may one day bring ease and clarity—I’ve given it two whole days a week, completely free and clear. Real office hours, [...]

What I’m wondering is, how would you describe yourselves?
