Hi, gang! One last (probably) Bike the Barns/Insane Charity Bike Ride update: Here’s the deal… with only three days left to go, we’re only about $1,500 away from the goal. For the first time in a while, I think we may be able to reach it. This is, to put it mildly, astounding. You folks […]
For various reasons, this morning was a little bit of a down day (no Duck pun intended). So here’s something that always makes me happy. The Week in Post-it Lunch Notes for Daughter, Age 8: MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY (She has pizza or subs supplied by the school on Fridays). POST-IT […]
A few days ago, donations for Insane Charity Bike Ride 2017 stopped, almost completely. For reasons that are perfectly understandable. Tropical Storm Harvey. Truth be told, it feels crass, right now, to be raising money for anything except for those suffering along the Gulf Coast. While the Fair Share Coalition does important work here, […]
Late in the summer, it’s a constant race to prep fresh garden veggies for sauces and soups, for canning or freezing. Peeling tomatoes to be preserved isn’t particularly difficult, but it usually involves blanching and ice baths, or fire-roasting – both of which can be time-consuming and messy. Particularly when you’re dealing with 10 or […]

Here we go again! It’s time for INSANE CHARITY BIKE RIDE 2017! With your help and generosity, over the last four years, we’ve raised a lot of money, helping local families get healthy food direct from local farmers! This year my personal goal is to raise $12,500, celebrating five years of this biking goofiness, and […]
<Radio Silence off> Hi, gang! I just finished a really cool, massive deadline, and I’m coming up for air. There’s also a new strip up. There should have been a lot of new strips up, last month. That didn’t happen. I’m better with other people’s deadlines than I am with my own. I’m trying to […]
Tonight (Friday, May 26), I’m going to see “Of Dice and Men” at Madison’s Bartell Theater again. I’ll also be leading a discussion/talk-back after the performance. Playwright Cameron McNary will be doing likewise, tomorrow. McNary’s play – currently staged in Madison by the Mercury Players Theater – revolves around a few crucial nights in the lives of a group of […]
Hey, all, I’ll be at UK Games Expo, in Birmingham, England, June 2-4! “Woot” as the kids say. I know it seems like crazy talk, but that’s just two weeks away. If you want to catch me there – heck, if you want to avoid me, there – here’s my schedule! The “Live RPG Plus” event […]
Hard to believe (I keep double-checking my calendar), but just last week, I was in Poland, guest of the wonderful Pyrkon gaming and media convention. Pyrkon is big – really big. 40,000 attendees big. It’s the largest such convention in Poland, by far, and this was my second trip there, thanks to my wonderful friends at Black […]
