Things are afoot.
Money, that thing we’re not supposed to worship and yet the obtainment of which occupies the majority of our time, is in decidedly short supply these days, and growing shorter.
Word has come down from upon corporate high that all further allotments of pay, including cost of living increases, have been frozen, due to [...]

Little light on posting here, of late, and if you came here looking for it I’m sorry to disappoint.

Posting has been and probably will be light for a few days. Lots to do and not enough time to do it.

I told you a while back that the “Writer - Thinker - Fat Guy” theme was only temporary. I’ve been in what seems to be a permanent creative funk since then, and I’ve been struggling to come up with a decent idea.
Anyone who has followed my blogging over the years knows that I love to do the [...]

It’s been a long weekend, hence the lack of activity here. I finished moving the last of the stuff that has to go to new house last night. Other than  cleaning and a few odds and ends, we’re done and living in the new place. After fighting a bit (big surprise there) with Comcast, we’ve [...]
