With me starting to spend more time behind the keyboard, I am making some changes to the home office. The computer desk takes up way too much space, mostly horizontal. A second computer desk in the family room is being used to store computers that don’t do anything. Part of… Continue reading

I managed to get through Coppercon without picking up any con crud, which is a little victory. I had intended to start writing some new short stories now that my anthology edits have been turned in to the publisher. I didn’t get quite that far today, but I did manage… Continue reading
