While today is not quite the last day of Balticon 2023, it is going to be the last day for me and I’ve got a few thoughts about that. First, if everything goes to plan, this post will be going live earlier in the day. As such, I’d be remiss if I didn’t include my …
Last week, particularly toward the tail-end of last week, I suffered an Eating the Elephant moment. I had so much to do, with varying deadlines and I wasn’t getting any of it done. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to do it – in fact, I did want to do it – I just couldn’t …
Let me clear a thing or two up from the get go. This isn’t an announcement post – though it does remind me that I’ve got some some things coming up that’ll require me to update the site and do some other admin things. Which is a perfect segue to the actual post. I’ve been …
If you’re a follower of this blog, you might have an inkling of what this post is going to be about from the title – and you’d be wrong this time. Oh, it’s true enough that, more often than not, I fail to get any of these posts composed ahead of time. This week was …
I struggle with eating elephants sometimes. It’s not due to any kind of elephant shortage. During any given day, or any given week, I’ve got several elephants on my plate. Some are recurring elephants – like this and other Blog posts. Other elephants are of the One-and-Done variety. Some elephants are quite large, and some …
Your mileage may vary, but if your area is anything like it is in my neck of the woods, walking across your front lawn, this time last week, felt and sounded like you were walking across a large piece of toast. Crunch, crunch, crunch. This morning, though, there was significantly less crunch. Everywhere I looked, …
Why did you do that? Why am I doing this? Why? Why? Why? It’s the most introspective of the “W’s” and, to my mind, one that gets the most overlooked. Why? Because. Be honest. I’ll bet it didn’t take any effort to jump between those two lines. You might even have seen that “Because” coming …
What do you want to do today? If I’d really been on my planning game, I’d have had this post done ahead of time and scheduled to go live at Midnight, so you’d have the entire 24 hours. Instead, here we are, nearly half-way through the day. But that’s ok. I’ve not been idle – …
Happy Sunday Everyone. If you’re like me, you’ve spent part of the morning, mourning the loss of an ENTIRE HOUR of weekend. I am so not a fan of daylight savings time. Even in the fall where we get that hour of weekend back. Just stop playing with time. Well now that I’ve gotten that …
I tried something new today! I did, that’s why this post went live later than usual (You all buy that, right?). For those of you who are interested, it was a new breakfast recipe that allowed me to use the muffin-baking sheet that I got for x-mas. I won’t get into the details, suffice it …
