Byzantium's Shores: chronicling the misadventures of an overalls-clad hippie: Bad Joke Friday

This is a real sign, by the way! It belongs to Ipswich Lumber and Hardware in Ipswich, South Dakota.

Introduction

Elen sil lumenn' omentielvo!
Here you shall find assorted ramblings about books, writing, movies, music, food, drink, hand tools, power tools, Star Wars, Tolkien, Guy Gavriel Kay, occasional travel, magical places near my home, sporadic misadventures, and the occasional pie in my face, all in my trusty bib overalls.

I love comments and welcome them; for more on that, see the site comment policy (link below). I also welcome e-mail, so feel free to contact me at:

I assume that e-mails are publishable, unless I am specifically asked to treat them otherwise. I do honor all such requests. 'Friendly and approachable' is what I'm going for here!

"I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.'

Quotables

"Make your country...into a land that understands more than only war and righteous piety. Allow space in your lives for more than battle chants to inspire soldiers. Teach your people to...understand a garden, the reason for a fountain, music."

Writing is magic, as much the water of life as any creative art. The water is free. So drink.
Drink and be filled up.

On Writing

We speak for Earth. Our obligation to survive is owed not just to ourselves but also to that Cosmos, ancient and vast, from which we spring.
