02:57 I just called 911 to report screaming, slaps and sobs, echoing through the airshaft. Can’t tell from where, exactly. I hope they find her. # 03:11 Everything is quiet now. # 04:04 I’m heading to the radio station for the Hour of the Wolf from 5-7 AM today. Listen live or later on demand […]

When we got back from Philadelphia last night, I followed Rob to the winery mostly to prolong our day together. We realized that this little weekend jaunt is the first time we’ve been away together since we moved here. (Not counting Christmas). The nice thing about the winery is that they’ll usually let me park

Yes. It’s true. Rob finally has a date for the operation. March 30th, they’ll tackle the carpal tunnel in his right wrist. Of course, first, he has to have a pre-op physical. I don’t have any understanding of why he has to have this second physical when he just had one with the same doctor.

New York was scheduled to get fourteen inches of snow today. I’m not sure how many actually fell, but the blanket was pretty thick today. Rob and I went for a walk in Central Park, which had children on sleds on every possible hill. Their winter coats seemed super-saturated against the monochrome landscape. It reminded

Lately, my schedule has been keeping time with Rob’s which means that we’re often up until 2 a.m. The advantage to this is that when he goes to bed, I can continue recording in the quietest time. The downside is when I have to be up early the next morning. Like today. I had a

I spent most of the day tending to SFWA matters, including getting my platform for re-election turned in. Yes, I’m running for Secretary again. Why? Because contrary to popular belief, it’s really not so bad. It helps that the board is active, engaged and generally gets along. We’re also doing good work and it’s exciting
There’s actually not that much to tell this time, except that he has managed to schedule an appointment to get the new nerve conductivity test. Somewhat amazingly, it’s this coming Thursday. I was rather expecting it to take a month. On the other hand, when Rob spoke with the surgeon, they still haven’t received the

As part of the month of birthday experiences, I threw a Favorite Childhood Food Potluck. The rules were that you could bring the actual item or a grown up rendition of it. It was a tremendous amount of fun, but not clearly thought through. Why? Because everyone’s favorite childhood food was a dessert. We had

Today was fairly laid back. After all the running around that I’ve been doing over the past month or so with shows and whatnot, yesterday was the first real breather I’ve had. Naturally, faced with nothing else to do, my body decided to get sick. Fortunately, it seems to have been fairly mild and is
Rob finally had his physical while I was away. In fact, that’s why he didn’t go with me to the birthday retreat, because the only date he could get was smack in the middle of it. While I was in Chattanooga, I told one of my cousins, who’s a surgeon, about the physical. He looked

Well, my guests have all gone to bed and I’m mostly packed. I decided to catch an early flight back to New York because there are some things going on with the show that need attention and it’ll be less stressful to just fly back and deal with it myself. I have to tell you

I’m in tech this week, so you’ll have to bear with me as my posts descend into Twitter updates. 19:53 Firing water pistols down my hall to check range and spatter pattern. # 20:23 You know. Life is really good sometimes. Today is one of those day. # 23:33 The nice thing about visiting my

I got stuck in the elevator again today. Â Granted, it wasn’t long this time, but I did just sort of start laughing. Â I was heading out to go to the Puppet Kitchen and decided to drop the trash off in the basement on my way. Â The thing about the basement is that there’s not

In a future world where the weather is controlled, vineyard owner Bharat Mundari is unable to pay his weather bill after spending too much on his daughter’s wedding. The grapes are suffering in the resulting drought, and he is afraid to tell his wife about the trouble they are in; she knows, however, that he

You might recall that we’ve had a moose head in our apartment since last June. While it makes for amusing conversation, the thing took up massive amounts of space in our bedroom. We wrapped the antlers in foam because of the number of times I stumbled into it getting out of bed at night. It
