After sleeping through or riding transit during the last several earthquakes, it was kind of a thrill to actually feel the 5.6 that rocked the bay about 10 minutes ago. It was closer to San Jose than us, but it shook the house enough that I moved to an interior doorway.
Since Castro is closed for Halloween, I thought I’d look into some of the city’s fine alternatives to mobbing the gay Mecca. Since you can’t shake your groove thang with a wild crowd of people, 99% of whom are out to have fun rather than cause problems, surely the city has compiled a list of [...]
Well, I survived 3 days in Mill Valley, California. It was touch-and-go for a while–especially when we went to eat at a bayside restaurant and I could glimpse my home across the water. If I’d had a car, I might very well have driven home at night (like some of our staff decided to do). [...]
Well, I’m heading just north of the Golden Gate Bridge for a three-day strategic planning retreat in Mill Valley. I’m not taking my laptop with me because experience tells me I won’t have time to do much with it as we plan our objectives and goals for 2008. The point being, don’t expect to see [...]
So, just in the last few days, I’ve discussed my love of Mercedes Lackey and reviewed two books in a row featuring comic book superheroes in novel format. Which would explain why I’m uber-excited to have discovered: The Secret World Chronicle A weekly novel podcast written by Mercedes Lackey and Steve Libbey. One of my [...]
I’m taking a much-needed day off before we head just north of the Golden Gate Bridge for a 3-day strategic planning retreat. Shortly, I will visit the doctor for a somewhat overdue check-up, then probably shop for comic books and maybe go sit on the beach for a while. We’ll see. Regardless, it’s nice to [...]
By now it should come as no surprise that I’m a sucker for Mercedes Lackey books (except, oddly, the Serrated Edge books – I think I’m judging those books by their covers). Usually I can resist the lure of the hardback new releases, but not always. The Phoenix Unchained: Book One of The Enduring Flame [...]
For the last few weeks I have been overwhelmed with spam that looks innocent on the outside but are the usual Person X from Country Y needs my bank account info to help them give me Money Z crap. What amuses me is that these spam are guaranteed to be deleted with 5 seconds because [...]
Every year during the holidays, our family tends to go see one or more movies while we’re all together. Since I know my sisters are among the 3 or 4 people who bother to read my blog, here’s a not-so-subtle hint about making plans… Of course, it probably wouldn’t be appropriate to bring the chilluns [...]
One might think that author Perry Moore (executive producer of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe movie) send me a questionnaire asking exactly what would make me love a book. Hero is instantly being placed among my most prized pieces of fiction: Mercedes Lackey’s The Last Herald-Mage Trilogy, Marvel Comic’s Young Avengers trades, my [...]
