    Thanksgiving is about friends and family coming together, sharing a meal and gratitude, regardless of their disparate beliefs or points of view. I adore the smarty-pants nature of this Finnemore sketch that brings beings together, called “Interfaith Conference.” It is especially poignant right now, after the end of Daylight Savings Time, when the sun simply…

    We The People… …seem fine about having replaced discussion with insult slinging in the comments field. Maybe we need a National Debate? Finnemore Style?

    Yes, I’m a big nerd, and my idea of a fun Friday night is a science lecture. With a side order of dissection. Fair warning, there are pictures, so avert your eyes if filet of cow eyeballs isn’t your thing. My friend Lisa invited me to a member only night at MOXI, The Wolf Museum…

    My next vignette from a loosely related Coven of the Bowler series is available now! Once again The Utah Pagan Society Literary Journal has chosen to include my story about magical Santa Barbara. Entitled Cernunnos, 2016, the piece was last year’s submission to the Edhat Halloween Contest, in the same world as 2015’s Roundabout Protection. Later…

    Kevin is one of the people in my life who is so cool that I kinda can’t believe I know him. Have known him for twenty years. He’s the Chair of Worldcon 76, 2018, in San Jose. He’s a master costumer. He’s more fun at any party than Eccentrica Gallumbits. He has lent me some of…

    Let’s get this out of the way up front: I’ve never seen Blade Runner all the way through. I was nine in 1982 and it wouldn’t have been my thing. (My thing that year was probably Grease 2 or Annie. I was taken to see E.T. and I didn’t like it much.) Nor have I read…

    This week my kitchen remodel Project Manager put the lead carpenter in charge of “day to day” for my kitchen remodel. At first, I thought this would be great. The guy doing-the-doing would be the guy organizing what gets done. No middleman. But that isn’t how it worked. The Lead would have a conversation with…

    In light of yesterday’s post, I thought I would share that I apparently have the Most Interesting Job in the World as an Audiobook Narrator. Seriously, it is great fun telling people that is what I’m doing for a living. People are fascinated. That never happened when I said I was an Education Services Manager…
