This weekend I’m at what will probably be my last in-person event for the year, the San Diego Comic Fest. My oldest son and I drove down to Carlsbad yesterday. We set up our table and hung out for the opening night gala. As soon as I finish prepping this newsletter, we’ll be off to…
I long to see the stars… Work, summer heat, smoke, and allergies have all conspired to keep me inside. Now, the weather is cooling off, it’s getting darker earlier, and work is settling down, so I’m making a concerted effort to get outside more. I’m sure my dogs will appreciate this, as they’ll benefit from…
When I sent out the last newsletter, I was just starting my vacation. The highlight of which was a 4-night cruise. It’s been 26 years since my last cruise, and I have to say, I forgot how nice they could be! I tuned out from everything: work, writing, the world. I focused on hanging out…
It’s mid-September already! The last eight to ten weeks have been super crazy with work, but I’m finally at the precipice of a well-earned vacation. I plan to relax and disconnect as much as possible. I’ll be recharging by diving in to some books, comics, manga, anime, movies, tv shows, and whatever else sparks my…
Dogs are interesting creatures. If you’ve ever owned a dog or dogs, you’ll know that each of them are unique creatures with their own personalities. Over the last couple of years, I’ve noticed a couple of peculiar behaviors from mine. Orson, my beagle, will go through phases where every morning, no matter what time we…
Greetings! I’ve just returned home from a week in San Diego for my work’s annual strategic planning retreat. The word retreat is a bit of misnomer and implies some relaxation…which there was none. The week is full of presentations, discussions, and lots of data, but is powerful in terms of motivation and planning for the…
Not much to share this week…work is even busier than expected. It will be this way for at least the next two weeks, possibly longer. I’m using my hyper focus on work during the day and shifting to hyper focus on writing in the evening. Good news is, I’m having dinner with some friends and…
It’s a bright and sunny morning outside and will probably break 100 degrees by this afternoon. Don’t worry, though, I won’t be out in it! I have a lot of work to get done today. I’ve mentioned before that this time of year is very busy with my day job due to state and internal…
I hope everyone is having a fun Independence Day weekend. There’s no doubt that it is summer now, hence the Darkhaven graphic at the top of the newsletter this week. It’s been super hot around here and from I understand a large portion of the country. Try to stay cool and safe! I celebrated Independence…
There’s no way I’m going to bury the lead on this one! Late yesterday afternoon, I received an email from ACX (Audible) that the audiobook for Pax Machina was now live and available for purchase! I’m announcing it here in this newsletter first, as thanks for your support over the years! I’ve been an avid…
