They have a cave scroll …
Hiked the Valley of Fire this weekend. While the valley is not constantly on fire, ringed by lava-spewing volcanoes as I had hoped, it was still mighty cool. And probably safer, as well. The fire appellation comes from the huge, randomly jutting protuberances of reddish sandstone – in effect, it looks like fire frozen in […]
The beacons are lit!
Wow. Pretty cool first Friday… I was tired after work and not even in the mood to go. I’m so glad I did. We did miss the actual burning of Lucky Lady Lucy, Las Vegas’ answer to Burning Man, but for me the ashes floating in the spotlight were nigh as cool as the big […]
Odd Future Wolfgang
We went hiking up Mountain’s Edge, which was perfect for me and my slowly un-smooshing foot. It’s been a month since my motorcycle fell on my foot DURING THE TEST DRIVE and I’m still having some issues walking normally. And yes, I still bought the thing. Yay for mid-life crises!
So many burdens …
Yes, like every other gay guy who came of age in the 80s, I, too, am affected by Whitney’s death. My diva has, and always will be Stevie, but Whitney’s songs covered the gamut of my real romantic life. Stevie is there when you need vague lyrics about architecture (truly, she does sing about hallways […]
Don’t come around here no more …
Fun pics with me, coffee and das boot!
Another day at the office …
My foot continues to slowly heal. It is very aggravating to not be able to go to the gym or even walk without das boot. Still, after three weeks, I can tell it’s getting better. And, it IS Kung Fuesday. I discovered this guy’s YouTube channel through io9. Sardonicus 1313 certainly has similar taste in […]
Year of the Dragon Razor
Happy Year of the Dragon! And it’s Kung Fuesday, to boot. So let’s see what’s up … Still in the throes of my writing project, which I have titled Project: Americano. Why? Well, it sounds good, and I’ve been working on it each day at lunch. I order an Americano, and that breezes me through […]
THIS is why I read comics …
The letters pages! Sadly, comics don’t do that anymore. But in the 60s and 70s, you got questions (and answers!) like this: God, I miss the Silver and Bronze Age!
All Our Yesterdays
It’s been such a year! I can’t begin to express my gratitude for all the awesome things that happened this year. And then some not so good things, too. All in all, a year. And even if I HAD an atavachron, I don’t think I’d go back and change anything.
