THE BOOKS OF 2016
While I'll almost certainly do a "The Books of 2015" bookpost - and maybe throw in a 2014 version, as I think I never got to it - it will have to wait until I cobble together exactly what books I did read in 2015. (I was as disorganized as ever last year - this year I'm planning to use GoodReads more consistently as a track-keeper.) I know there ( Read more... ) -
FAREWELL
I will post at greater length here next week or so -- most of my communication on the subject has been on Facebook, where far more of our friends are -- but for anyone who's still seeing my LJ posts who hasn't already heard ( Read more... ) -
RHYTHM AND RHYME AND HARMONY ....
So last January, on Facebook, I started a series of posts counting down my 365 favorite songs, or at least 365 songs that I particularly like(d) at that particular point in time. I thought it would be over in a year, but I haven't gotten around to posting every day ... or every week ... or even every month. So we're only up to around #290 after ( Read more... ) -
THE YEAR THAT WAS, 2014 EDITION
OK, a mere 10 days into 2015, we finally have my Year In Review, 2014 Edition. A good year, mostly. Actually, a great year, dominated by two main elements:
1. Mawwiage! Diane and I got all nuptialized in September, in an outdoor tent ceremony in Seneca Lake State Park in Geneva, NY, with the lake as our backdrop. There were all manner of comedies ( Read more... ) -

A FEW THOUGHTS ON CIVIL RELIGION AND THE DANGERS THEREOF
Some folks may think that, because I'm a Christian, I would agree with and celebrate the recent Supreme Court ruling affirming a town board's practice of opening meetings with prayers, generally from Christian clergy. (See Read more... ) -
IT'S HIM AGAIN
... And radio silence, or LJ silence, for more than three months. Sorry, folks. I still like LJ and don't want to participate in its slow crawl into the realm of the defunct, but sometimes it's easy to forgot about. So, here's the bullet-point update.
Weddingstuff: Plans proceed at a crawl -- basically, we've picked the date (Aug. 2) booked ( Read more... ) -
TURN THE PAGE
Happy New Year to all my friends on LJ! Saw 2014 in quietly, working on a jigsaw puzzle with my Sweetie and watching the ball drop while digesting a tasty dinner of strip steak and garlic mashed taters and sporadically reading the newest Fables trade paperback. It's been a nice and low-key way to transition into a new year ( Read more... ) -
NEWS? YEAH, MAYBE A BIT
Well, I broke my promise not to let another half-year go between posts, but I'll try again.
So ... what's been happening with LDWheeler lately?
Meh, not much, other than, y'know, getting engaged and stuff.
(That sentence would have more Dramatic! Impact! if most of all y'all, other than filkferengi and a couple others) hadn't already seen it on Facebook ( Read more... ) -
SIX MONTHS LATER ...
It really has been that long since I've posted to LiveJournal, though I've more or less stayed some degree of current in keeping up with friends' LJs. Life -- including a switch to all late shifts, plus an ongoing serious relationship -- has accounted for much of my time; it's been easier to post quick 'n' pithy observations over on Le Facebook.
