I got the bread baked before I left this morning. The lumpiest, ugliest looking loaves I’ve produced to date. Even including the sour dough way back whenever that was. A very weird outcome to a very standard recipe.Kirjoittanut Nathan Lowell

I talked about finally getting the Waterman Atria to write, and ranted about a post about writing science fiction and fantasy and why tradpub doesn’t publish “for men” any more. Fair warning: It might just be sour grapes because my membership card in the Manly Men Club has been stamped “Void.” I’ll admit it felt good to rant. I haven’t had a decent…

I seemed to talk non-stop this morning. Maybe finding a new nib for my Waterman Reflex, cleaning the feed on my Atria/Forum. I talked about spending time in Shackleford House yesterday and how eager I am to get back there today. Haven on Prime Video. Branwen OShea’s Finding Humanity series. And, of course, a greeting to the Willow Sisters.…

I was chilly when I started but warmed up. Mostly talked about pens (I love my Waterman Phileas) and my fading infatuation with Fallout 4. Very nice morning for a walk, though. I’ll have to do it more often now that the weather isn’t trying to kill me. At least until it starts trying again.Kirjoittanut Nathan Lowell

Late start but cool temps and overcast convinced me to take the walk anyway. I talked about Rim Jumper and P D Ball’s Princess Cayce series. Zola versus Grav and Hugo. Fallout 4. Why The Librarians may not be working for me and why I can’t watch Outer Range or Black Mirror.Kirjoittanut Nathan Lowell

I overslept and then lingered over breakfast but made myself get out there anyway. Talked about Person of Interest, Rim Jumper, Zola (static website generator), and possibly visiting with Roger today. Toward the end I got a phone call (which I clipped out) from the people installing the new awnings on our freshly painted house. The colors were a go…

I tried to talk about a bunch of things but kept getting derailed by my own mutterings. Rangnow, Person of Interest, computer on wheels. That’s all I remember besides the neighbor who thinks I need to get a cancer screening every 6 months and a jogger that startled the hell out of me. And hair.Kirjoittanut Nathan Lowell

I’d remembered that buying a car was a tedious process. My experience this time has borne that out. The number of times I heard “just a couple of minutes” in the last 24 hours beggars belief. I talked about getting the new vehicle, Tim Rangnow’s Rim Jumper series (I’m into book 4), and the process of discovering the Cat and rekindling my joy in wri…

I talked about noisy traffic, potentially migrating some of my wordpress blogs to a static site generator (again), and the tv show, Person of Interest. The way the characters have changed over the course of the many shows. I’m nearing the end and looking forward to it almost as little as I would t…

Finally. Everything is a bit soggy and it started to rain before I got back but I managed to get a nice walk in without getting soaked. Talked about bread, a lot. Pens a bit. Just finished KT Hanna’s Library Reset: Overdue. Really fun book. Too bad the sequel won’t be out until November. Really underscores the frustration some of you must feel wait…

Two wildfires within 100 miles to the west. 74F before sunrise. I walked anyway and it wasn’t terrible. A cooling breeze helped cut the heat back a bit. The smoke has dispersed enough for the moment that I couldn’t smell it (although I might just be inured to it). I had plenty of shade even if the sun was higher that I would have liked. Talked abou…

I whined about the economics of car ownership where a minor fender bender can total a vehicle. Also Mackey Chandler’s Family Law series and why I find it so engaging. Also there’s a forest fire about 35-40 miles west of us. Fun times.Kirjoittanut Nathan Lowell

Managed to get up early enough and stay focused enough to get out for the walk at sunrise for a change. It’s a beautifully cool morning where I talked about Skylar Ramirez (probably damning with faint praise, but I really did enjoy the series), Mackey Chandler, and the post-it notes on my monitor. I did not talk about that-which-shall-not-be-named,…

It’s taken a while and honestly I didn’t think I’d make it this long when I started out 13 years ago. I talked about Ramirez, choices, privilege, and how much luck looks like success instead of a dice roll.Kirjoittanut Nathan Lowell

I feel like my reading of this Ramirez series is a bad Monty Python sketch. Every day I find something else I really don’t like but I accept – grudgingly – because I like the characters. Along the way, I seem to have become even more of a grumpy old man than I thought.Kirjoittanut Nathan Lowell

I talked (again) about why I don’t like novellas as a form and present tense in story telling even as I acknowledge the the Skylar Ramirez books are both and I’m enjoying them.Kirjoittanut Nathan Lowell

After a few days of dancing to the music others have been playing, I’m back to digging around in my own music box. Terrible metaphor, although music has been a background theme for my brain over the last few days while I sat in hospital waiting rooms and dental offices. This morning was a recap of all the stuff.…
