I’m nearly one-third complete. I deleted a few things tonight. Added a few others–most additions were clarifying Geek chat sessions. I possibly should have deleted some other stuff tonight, but I couldn’t tell if I was just tired of reading it or if it needed to go, so I’ll hold … Continue reading →
Hey! I’m supposed to be cutting words! Ah well. I had a few minutes tonight, so I worked a few more pages in Twilight revisions. I’m liking this better as I work on it. Maybe two or three more times through, and I’ll have it scrubbed and presentable. Yeah, now … Continue reading →
Arrived early. Got seen about an hour after my appointment. Once things got moving, everything went very smoothly. My technician and doctor were both great. Professional with a good sense of humor. I don’t remember everything they did, but I came away with a sense that I’d just had a … Continue reading →

Things are progressing nicely with Twilight. I couldn’t bring myself to put it down today, so I’ve worked on it for nearly 12 hours now–using my usual schizophrenic style of mixing housework with writing work. I accomplished more writing work than housework, but the dishes, laundry, and physical therapy exercises … Continue reading →

I’m in a funk. I still can’t believe they traded Malik. Sure, they needed a big man. Sure, they needed salary cap room for this summer. I think I understand that. But did they mess up the team chemistry? I hope not. No. No. No. They’re professionals. They can overcome … Continue reading →
I finished the read-through. I like more of it than I hate of it–a lot more of it. I’m doing the easy revision parts while I mull over what to do with the parts I believe I need to change (hence the count above). I changed the beginning a bit. … Continue reading →
In October 2002, I was issued a brand, spanking new Dell laptop. Nice machine. Been working great, but I’ve noticed problems with this model–overheating, keyboards and screens dying, and hard drives toasting. Mine? Had the keyboard replaced last summer (learned to be proactive when a colleague couldn’t type his NATO … Continue reading →
