Most trans-Pacific flights are in the neighborhood of twelve to fourteen hours. That's a lot of time to spend on your butt. Granted, you hope to spend some of that time sleeping, but I've argued for years now that sleep on an airplane does not equal sleep in a bed. Maybe one day I'll get … Continue reading Killing Time Across the Pacific (Winter Break, pt II)

What I Did Over Winter Break (part I)
*whew* As of me writing these words I have been back in the states for two days and boy the the jet lag smack me around today. My family spent the last three weeks in Vietnam (visiting my wife's family) and Singapore (generally eating and having a gluttonous time). I hadn't been back to Asia … Continue reading What I Did Over Winter Break (part I)
2022 in Review
And in the blink of an eye, another year had passed. So, the last few weeks ended up being quite a bit more hectic than I had anticipated, causing this year-end post to come out much later than I had expected. Such is life, especially during times of change! There are things in motion that … Continue reading 2022 in Review
Falling Down at the Finish Line
I was going to write a year-end wrap up post this weekend, but even with as busy as December will be for me (more on that much later) I'm reasonably sure I can squeeze out another blog next week. Which leaves me just enough time to rave-- er, rant, about the most recent Disney+ series … Continue reading Falling Down at the Finish Line
Foster – Flash Fiction
I made it to the final round of this year's NYC Midnight Flash Fiction contest!
Basketball?
Something a little different this week. I actually went to an amazing writing conference last week, and I was planning to blog about that this week, but then this showed up in my feed and derailed my brain. Lin-sanity! Don't worry, I'll talk about the writing seminar next time. But in case your sports bone … Continue reading Basketball?
Going the Distance
It isn't often that I will read a series to its conclusion. There is just so much media out there to soak up, not just books, but tv, movies, comics. It's hard to keep track of everything, and even if I really like something, it's tough to remember to stay current with it when there … Continue reading Going the Distance
Extra Large, with a Side of Fries
I grew up on superhero comics. Spiderman and the X-Men were my favorites in the beginning. Righteous heroes in brightly colored spandex saving the world from dastardly villains. I stayed mostly on the Marvel side until I finally read The Dark Knight Returns and absolutely had my mind blown. I had never read a comic … Continue reading Extra Large, with a Side of Fries
…right in the nostalgia!
I am three episodes into Paper Girls on Amazon Prime and I. Am. Loving it. As someone who grew up right through the rip roaring 80s, this show hits all my buttons. Latch key kids, riding around on their bikes getting into all kinds of trouble, this isn't just my jam, this was actually my … Continue reading …right in the nostalgia!
Enter the DragonCon, 2022
Legit credentials Back from Atlanta and had a blast at DragonCon last weekend! I've been to smaller cons before, but this was my first "big league" con and, wow, what an experience. I think this year's attendance was capped at 60,000 and even that was a little overwhelming. I can't imagine what it will be … Continue reading Enter the DragonCon, 2022
