Today we’re cleaning up the house, getting it ready to show to prospective buyers. Our office has been purged of about six years’ worth of detritus, and all my cool toys have been packed away as well as about nine linear feet of bookshelf space and eleven or so linear feet of books.
It just doesn’t [...]

The Dixon Highland Games are no more. The venue managers at Mayfair have raised the rates to prohibitive levels; several events, such as Lambtown, have had to relocate. The Dixon Games had arranged to relocate to the Travis Credit Union Park in Vacaville, but now that venue will be closing down at the end of [...]

We had a meeting earlier this week explaining how it is that when we in our department underreport our billable hours, things suffer. Like our budget. If it looks like we’re so very efficient that we’re completing a project which should normally take about 450 hours in just under 15, then we’re going to be [...]

We made an offer on the house that we fell in love with in Sacramento. We’ve spoken with our realtor and with a financial guy we know through church, both of whom have outstanding reputations in our community, and we don’t think this is premature. So, let’s hope that this all gets done quickly.
Also, it [...]

I’ve been following, off and on, the issue with the vanishing bees. Colony Collapse Disorder is a pretty scary thing; while we don’t rely on bees exclusively for our crop pollination needs, they’re still crucial, and if the bees all go away, then things will be mighty tough. I don’t believe we’ll face major famine [...]

I haven’t mentioned Dixon Downs in my blog for various reasons; mostly, it’s because I think I’m one of two people who live in Dixon that read my blog regularly (the other being my wife), but there’s also that little side of me which doesn’t like politics very much. But I had to comment on [...]

I hate politics. I think that the realm of politics is filled with small-minded, overzealous corporate shills, and that the life expectancy of a person who goes into politics with any sense of honor or integrity (especially on a national level) is dangerously short. So I write very few posts that address politics at any [...]

Stole this from my friend Satyrlovesong:
We all have things about our friends that make us slightly envious.
Not in a bad way, but in a ‘Wow! I wish I had that person’s hair/eyes/money/relationship/toenails/whatever.’
So tell me what about me makes you envy me. . . then if you feel like it, post this in your blog [...]

Looks like Room 636, an anthology of "new takes on urban legends" and which reprints my short story "Who Remembers Molly" (previously published at The Harrow), has finally found a home with StoneGarden.net Publishing. No word yet on when the book will be available. StoneGarden.net is a small press, sort of a print-on-demand press, but [...]

Yesterday I found, via Chaos Theory, I found an article in Salon where Jesus was referred to as a "Drama Queen". Being a good American in Bush’s America, I thought it prudent to be outraged at the characterization before I went ahead and, you know, actually read the article.* So I thought to myself, "Jesus?
