The Off-Season Plague seems to have vanished. By yesterday evening, all my symptoms except the swollen glands were gone. Today, those seem to have departed as well. This is a good thing. I’ll definitely be taking a spin on the stationary trainer for about 30 minutes today…but that has to wait until after I get [...]
So, I think I’m getting better. The fever seems to be gone, as does the sore throat. These are both good things, as I am sick to death of laying on the couch, drinking 2-3 liters of Gatorade a day, and eating chicken soup. The glands in my neck are still swollen like hell and [...]
Woke up this morning with one of the worst colds ever. Not sure if it’s the flu, or what, but wow. High fever, swollen glands, nasty sore throat, and the beginnings of a cough. I’ve already taken steps to alleviate the symptoms — 600mg of ibuprofen for the pain in the throat, a couple of [...]
It’s the “most wonderful time of the year” again, and wow. I’m just not there. I did hear Run-D.M.C.’s “Christmas in Hollis” on the radio the other day, and that put a smile on my face. And Eric Cartman singing “Swiss Colony Beef Log” still cracks me up to no end.
On the writing front, I seem to have lost momentum via the day lost to the dead logic board in my Mac Mini. That’s kinda sucky, but I’m going to force myself to sit in front of the ‘ol text editing program for an hour tomorrow — either I’ll write, or I’ll waste an hour. [...]

Started digging in to the novel I’ve had in my brain for awhile, and damn if I’m not having fun. Lately, it’s been tough to write. Everything I start, I hate — usually I feel like it seems somewhat contrived. Not today! Today, I enjoyed it. And even looking back on it, I’m not cringing [...]
So some searching around, and I finally found a WordPress template I like enough to modify for use on this site. Some minor graphics tweaks are done, and the next step is to get that little pile of photos in the upper left corner to randomize. My PHP coding is rusty, due to some dalliance [...]
