Greetings Programs!

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.

It's a perfectly gloomy day for writing at the library! Today the members of my fictional whitewater kayaking party find the evidence of the ill-fated LAST party to descend this river.... #amwriting

Funny how with a face full of pie, it's hard to see that I'm smiling. #newprofilepic #overalls #dungarees #biboveralls #vintage #key #keyoveralls #hickorystripe #denim #doubledenim #pieintheface #pietotheface #pieinface #pieface #splat
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.
Guy Gavriel Kay,
The Lions of Al-Rassan

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

A Pie in the Face is a Wonderful Thing

Prepping for Pi Day festivities! #CoconutCreamPie #overalls #pieinthefaceSpl-lat

Guess what happened to me today....

The power of silliness

I pied myself today as part of the #porphyriapiechallenge. Why this challenge? Because a big part of these is raising awareness, and I had never heard of pprphyria, which is a pretty rare condition, apparently.

National Pie Day! Too bad I won't be officially observing it. Alas!Playing with the new app and filters II
