Not sure what to make of that title, are you? A bit shocked? Perhaps worried about it being a bit, er, defeatist? Well, read on, MacDuff. Ira Glass on Storytelling from All1Soul on Vimeo. A few weeks back, I wrote about how I get better at writing. As sometimes happens, I received feedback on it, […]
Yes, my friends back home in Indiana, or Minnesota, or Tennessee, or Kentucky, or … yes, I’m thinking of you as I go out to pick my grapefruit for lunch in Tucson. On a more serious note … stay safe, stay warm, and remember there’s idiots out there on those roads!
Seeing that I have pretty much always been a cat person, we have pretty much always had a cat around. So, yeah, I know they can be amazing little things. About a year and a half ago, our household was graced by the presence of Sophie Angel Purrsalot, Queen of Ritz Court (sometimes informally added […]

A moment later, though, it turns its focus to some very cool work my son-in-law has done that envisions a different approach to a “problem” the Cleveland Indians: primarily how do they edge […]
Happy to note that Pathways, the latest Valdemar anthology is out, complete with my story “Out of the Pelagirs,” and Brigid’s story “Silent Storms.” It’s noteworthy that Brigid’s work is so full of the awesome that it leads the volume off.
