Hey…I just realized that it has been a while. Sorry. So…last day of school: My daughter is now a high school student. Orville graduated from 6th grade. He received an extremely well deserved award for Achievement that he really, truly earned. He is hardly the same boy that started at that school five years ago.…

We will be at Balticon on Sat. I have a couple of panels. My mom, after reading my most recent chapter, commented: “I don’t think in the history of the world anyone’s ever written a scene where someone bathed a yeti.” She may be right.

Still working on trying to sum up the book. Again, here, I am trying to actually describe what happens in the book…not to sell the book. The story is a magical intrigue, where the mystery is: what is the state of the universe and how did it get to be that way. A young woman,…

So…is there a relationship between the words: pert and impertinent? Just wondering. Anyone else up? (Sunday night, May 15th.)

Neat Google thingy today for modern dance star Martha Graham. Before marrying my dad, my mother danced in Martha Graham’s company. comments

  Norway is the best place on earth to be a mom, says Save the Children, in a recent State of the World’s Mothers report. Norwegian moms receive a full year of paid leave and have only a 1 in 175 chance of losing a child before the age of five. Last on the list…

  Okay, I’ve now watched the Keynes and Hayek Second Round video many, many, many times. (The kids love it, even if they can’t really follow it.) I am so amazed at how well they blend economics and entertainment. The tune is catchy and we’re all humming it around the house… I also like how…
