A Terribly Busy Week

This week my day job has been busy busy busy. I normally take my laptop Colossus with me to work so I can write during my breaks and my lunch.(I can sometimes get 2000 words a day done in that manner.) However this week, I have been so bushed by the amount of work and training for new work that I have actually used my breaks as breaks.
It hasn’t been all bad. I picked up a new book on Sunday, “Fair Coin” by E.C. Meyers over at the Star Trek rewatch blog. I should finish it soon and then I’ll post a review.
I have managed to keep momentum going on “Command & Control,” my new Seth Jackson novel and I do not entirely hate the prose that has been produced.
I’ve also made plan for going to Disneyland in April with an old friend whom I have not seen in a few years. It’s going to be just the two of us guys, palling around and acting like kids again. I haven’t been to Disneyland in almost 30 years.
This weekend is Condor, a local sf and fantasy convention and I am on three panels, including one with noted and award winning author David Brin. I shall try not to embarrass myself.

I am hoping that next week turns out better than this last week. While I am happy to have added ‘Colossus’ to my network of home computers and anticipate lots of good writing at his keyboard, this has not been the best of weeks.

On Monday last week my sweetie-wife injured her shoulder. I’ve been playing the part of left arm for her, helping out in any way I can, but there is still sharp amount of pain for her. Because of the injury she needs to sleep upright, so there will be no Sunday Night Movie this week as unlike most Americans we do NOT have a TV in the bedroom.

Presidential Campaign Songs

This is a bit of a kerfuffle over the songs used by the various republican candidates for president.  Mostly the liberal songwriters aren’t happy with their songs being used by conservative politicians, and that is of course their right, both as citizens and copyright holders.

My problem that these self-selected songs rarely capture for me the true sprit of each candidate, Here are my suggestions for the right campaign songs, with the You Tube clips since none are very modern. Continue reading →
