We just returned from the winebar Vino, run by Rob’s old chum Chuck Furuya. May I say, that if you are in Honolulu and want to have a nice range of wines and a pleasant evening, go to Vino. We’re hoping to take Rob’s folks back to the main restaurant, Hiroshi’s on Saturday. We also […]

Our flight out was utterly uneventful. We both napped some. Rob read the NY Times. I wrote and got about 2000 words in. And then we waited for our baggage to arrive. The staff seemed to be engaged in a slow motion Laurel and Hardy film, which anywhere else would have involved much running around

Just a reminder, Rob and I leave for Hawaii tomorrow to visit his folks. I should be online, but probably not as frequently.
We’re in the studio and Rob is editing the chapter I recorded. We recorded a page and then had to go back and re-record because my voice is too low for consistency with the earlier chapters. I’ve been raising my narrator voice above my natural speaking pitch because there are a number of male characters
So, I’ve added two new things to the website, plus some back end and minor revamping. First, you might notice little “Share This” buttons at the bottom of posts. These are for those of you who use things like technorati or like to email articles to other folks. I think they are fairly self explanatory
Look at these shiny, shiny Rayguns. The Rayguns: Dr. Grordborts Infallible Aether Oscillators, are a line of immensely dangerous yet simple to operate wave oscillation weapons. Meticulously built to the exacting standards and plans of Dr. Grordbort, these weapons, bespangled in fine detail and with various (most likely quite dangerous) moving parts are the perfect

I woke up during the night with a toothache, which was Just Not Fair. At all. I tried sleeping anyway, I tried taking ibuprofen. Nada. In fact, it got worse, radiating through my ear and sending shafts of steel straight through my brain and out the top of my head. Visions of root canal opened

Mr. B– arrived safely last night. We stayed up talking until much too late. He and Rob are out exploring the neighborhood and I’m hunkered down with a relapse. I started going downhill yesterday afternoon, sadly. Today it is occurring to me that it might be that my cold is being compounded by allergies. It’s
But who’s counting. Look how beautiful the view of our back yard is from the dining room window. We are engaged in deep cleaning of the house, because tonight, Mr. B– arrives. This is the man with whom we are doing the house swap beginning in May. I suspect that it will rain while he’s

I just realized that I had recorded my voice lesson yesterday and the whistling teakettle sound was on the tape. I apologize for the tape hiss, but hey, at least you get to hear the insanity that is the whistle voice. I included a little bit of our conversation before and after so you could

WRW presents FREE AUDIO DRAMA by Craig Kenworthy, Carole Dane, Sandra DeHelen and Joe Medina by way of H.P. Lovecraft. WRW is happy to prove the cynics wrong and present four of our original audio experiments free of charge to the listening public. All are from writers who have participated in our Writer’s On the
Well, the plants are still missing, but we have a bill of lading number now and an idea of where they might have gone. When they were shipped out of Kodiak, Alaska, there are two shipping orders for them. On one of them, the plants would have been put on a full trailer that was
Tonight we went into the studio to record Chapter Two of the secret project. At one point, the narration refers to one of the characters whistling. When we paused, Rob said, “Are you going to whistle?” “No. I can’t whistle,” I replied. A moment of silence passed with Rob’s mouth hanging slightly open. “Are you

We have a Wedgewood stove from the 40s or 50s which is built like a Packard. It’s heavy, solid metal and the best stove I’ve ever cooked on. Look at that–double ovens, a griddle and the burners. Oh my. They each have two sets of flame, so you can turn the heat way down low
Rob and I spent much of the day in the studio. It went reasonably well, but then, for some reason, the studio computer decided that it didn’t want to talk to my computer. Everything is safely saved, but it didn’t like my flash drive, despite having used it before.
