We are all living in the future — in uncharted territory. We are charting it now. Good morning, fellow cartographers. What will we find around this corner, over this next horizon? Isn’t this exciting? Today we will go somewhere we’ve never been before. This day has never happened until now. What will we find here?Continue reading “Greetings, people of the future”

The things I cannot change
I’ve been spending a lot of time lately thinking about when I turn 70, even though it’s 21 months away, and what’s the point? It’s going to happen anyway. After all, I spent a lot of time over the years thinking how devastated I would be when Willow The Best Dog There Is™ dies, andContinue reading “The things I cannot change”
Almost Fully Launched
OK, so this is the day the “pre-order” phase ends and people can launch the print-on-demand process immediately when you order my new book, Full, from your favorite book store.

If someone were to say, “How can you letContinue reading “About saying certain things”
The 21st century reaches drinking age
Here we are, in the 21st year of the 21st century. We have been in old-science-fiction-numbered years for as long as newly-minted adults have lived. The 21st century! when all is either bright and shiny miraculous tech or long-feared dystopia and post-civilization. Can it be both? Surely. Much of what readers are reading these daysContinue reading “The 21st century reaches drinking age”

Fighting my inner zombie

I should check to see if anyone reacted to my comment in Old Guys Who Like Old Comics or that thread about Madge the Palmolive Lady.” My self looked at me askance. “Yesterday, when you banged your head against the dining room light fixture, are you should youContinue reading “Fighting my inner zombie”
