Blog postSitting watching the sunset. Tonight’s especially amazing as lines and shapes cover the entire horizon, each moving through the lightest of yellows to finally the darkest of rose.
Of course, I’ve mentioned in past blogs my thought that it takes a storm or at least an unsettled sky to make a good sunset. And how that a pure and cloudless sky seldom makes any kind of sunset, just as a pure and cloudless life would be very boring.
When I was a kid, I read “The Phantom Tollbooth”, -

Blog postWell, it’s hot. Today was 111 and for the next three days (and the previous week) it’s been well over 100 every day. Thank goodness it moves down to a mere 97 on Monday and then down to the relatively cool high 80s to low 90s after that.
The heat has me thinking about cool things, and with humans, the important things are usually something to do with food.
Ice cream, in this case. So, a few fun facts about ice cream.
The third Sunday in July is National Ice Cream Day. -

Blog postI have to say, I don’t really care about cheese that much. I mean, it’s there. It has its uses, like on pizza, for instance. In fact, pizza without cheese just sounds weird. But that’s also mozzarella, which is a kind of cheese that’s pretty much only used in baking. Or at least that’s how I see it. Great melting point, doesn’t get crusty, stays pretty good even after being refrigerated.
My dad loved cheese. All kinds of cheese. In fact, back in the 70’s he belonged to a Cheese of the -

Blog postMy original title was ‘Is Religion Dying Out’, but I thought that was really too inflammatory, and not the reason I was writing. I believe that our ‘regular’ religions continue strong, although I think some of the same problems I detail below haunt the major religions.
It also depends on what you call ‘religion’. I kind of covered my thoughts on mainstream religion in my blog around Easter. (https://electrikink.com/are-bunnies-the-answer/)
But I’m thinking more in terms of the -

Blog postSo, today is “Don’t Step on a Bee” day.
This could be a blessedly simple and short blog today, but you never know what I’m going to wander into. After all, I was almost sucked into writing about ‘Clerihew’ poetry, since it’s also National Clerihew Day.
A sample Clerihew:
Jane Bond is one of my favorite books,
So no matter if I got through life getting funny looks,
She’ll always be on my library shelves,
Did I mention they’re kept neat by elves? -
Blog postI was reading a book by Lawrence Schoen (The Conroyverse, which is great!) and came across some interesting data regarding the unlikelyhood of you ever having been born. That all these factors came together that gave you some infinitesimal chance of existing.
Now, I guess that’s true, if you look at it from the back end. However, stories are written about interesting people. There’s not much enthralling action in a story about John and his wife who never did anything and died in the s -

Blog postSo, today’s garbage day. It’s an interesting concept, where we simply put anything nasty or dead or rotten into this box by the curb and it magically goes away.
It reminds me of a joke about the ‘magic coffee table’ where you leave your chip bags, your crumbs, your pizza boxes and it all magically vanishes. Anyone who’s married knows about this magic coffee table. 🙂
But I digress. As I often do. This is about garbage. Kind of, at least.
It may be more about leaving th -

Blog postHow Intelligent is that?
For those not familiar with the term, just a reminder that AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. Basically a computer brain that seems to be human. If you’ve read any of my science fiction books, you know what AI is – AI is Olive, and Jean and so on. All of my AIs are posited as being truly sentient, and even THEY have a problem with thinking of themselves as human.
So the science, science fiction and fantasy worlds have all been abuzz this week with -

Blog postSo, here we’ve arrived at another writing post! Note the exclamation point, whereby I’m going to whip up your enthusiasm in listening to this…
It’s funny, I was actually sitting here deciding what to write about this time when I came across (all right, technically I googled it in desperation, trying to find something to write about!) a story suggestion that said you could detail your writing process.
This is fairly difficult for me, since I really don’t have one. But, on the t -
