Waterfire in lieu of camp fire
For the last ten or more years, the last weekend in July has been a camping weekend for me. A bunch of like-minded friends have gathered in the woods, gazed at the stars, burned marshmallows, and generally got back to nature.

What I've been up to lately...
Well, obviously, it's not been posting...
I hate how there just isn't enough time in the day. If I concentrate on writing, then suddenly there aren't any clean clothes, my muscles are seizing up from sitting at the computer so long, and the cat's got knots in his fur.

Another podcast out
I'm feeling particularly good about this podcast being out, not just because it was the second half of an interview and a lot of fun to do, but because I've finally recovered from some physical exertion two days ago. Woo hoo! I can think again!

I think I'll go in the woods today...
This came to me this afternoon...
I think I'll go in the woods today
and watch the springtime come this way:
The melting snow, the moss on trunks,
