We’re now approaching the two year anniversary for when California, in a fit of insanity, granting my license to drive. I have had multiple permits while owning motorcycles – and somehow an event would take the motorcycle away before I I could be fully licensed. The last two years have been good. I haven’t hit anything, and I have managed to avoid a couple of truly frightening collisions. (Nothing on the road with myself behind the wheel has dissuaded me on iota from that dream of fully automatic cars and no human drivers.) Continue reading
By the end of this week I expect to complete my latest SF short story, a dark little piece titled, at least for now, Lady Jane. With that story wrapped I’m going to tackle one of my challenges for this year, a non-genre story. Continue reading

If there is a problem, sure bithcing about can help identify it, and help motivate others to help solve it, but bitching in itself never solves a damn thing, and in my unhumble opinion the Occupy movement is little more than a giant bitch session.

Had a migraine attack in the early afternoon hours. Took a dose of Treximet and napped for 90 minutes. Headache subsided.
There’s no doubt now that Rick Santorum has become the latest, last, Not-Romney to capture to attention of the conservative base. This I think will swing the next couple of contests from arguments about who funded what and who spent what to the social conservative issues of gay, abortion, and contraceptives. Continue reading
