  Well, you’ve always been able to read it (there’s a link off my DoingWrite blog). It’s only about 1/2 to 2/3 complete, however, so the next big challenge is actually, y’know, finishing it.

My resolution is not to stop now, by any means. I have an ulterior motive for demonstrating that I can continue with my writing activities …

Public kudos to Dave – Private kudos and champagne already under way.
Dave claims to be 2/3 of the way through the book. He has committed to writing 500 words per day. Please feel free to cheer or mock the progress as appropriate.
Go! Dave! Go!

My wife … I think I’ll keep her. Since she keeps me honest. And keeping her means I get to torment her in other … interesting … ways …

You’re using those mind control powers on her, aren’t you?
Oh, wait. People are supposed to think that Psiclone is really Graham Thorne. Sorry about that, Chief!

Well, poop.

Thanks, Sir Patrick, for many, many, many hours of entertainment. From "I, Claudius" to "Dune" to "Excalibur" to various iterations of Star Trek and X-Men.

I'm saddened to learn of the death of #WalterKoenig at age 90. While best known for playing #Chekov on Star Trek #TOS, I'll always remember him best as the sinister-but-complicated PsiCop Bester on #Babylon5 .

#RIP, sir, and thanks for many, many hours of entertainment.

Hey, we're attending the tale of " #SweeneyTodd " at #CUBoulder! Yay!

When #DonaldTrump loves your campaign ad, it almost certainly means it's as awful as decent people have been telling you it is, and you should take it down.

#JDVance is more disgusted that #Republicans are criticizing #VivekRamaswamy 's #Ohio attack ad on #AmyActon than he is over the ad itself. Gotta love those "family values."

The only silver lining here is that I suspect the ad will generate more contributions for Acton than for her vile opponent.

Earlier this month I was automatically sent my #MailInBallot . After filling it out, I dropped it off at a convenient, secure drop box on Monday. The ballot was received by the county, my signature on the envelope was validated, and my vote was counted.

And at each of those steps I got an e-mail and a text message, confirming it.

Plus I got a nice virtual #Blucifer" voting sticker!

Thank you for showing, once again, #Colorado, that this system works.

Amusing story both for the headline and for the underlying message.

The take-away from #Trump canceling the #execution #livestream is not that he has even a modicum of decency, but that if a controversial idea is proposed *by someone else* that might blow back on him, he will throw it and the proposer under the bus in a hot minute. TACO loyalty.

There is a graduated, progressive #IncomeTax #measure on the ballot this #election in #Colorado, replacing a flat 4.4%, and it is remarkable that the top arguments being levied against this "bizarre/radical" measure are "It's unfair because $500K [the tipping point] isn't that much income," and "Egads, all the rich people will move away to Texas and we will be poor!"

Every now and then I get a burr up my butt about something and have to write it out. Today it was about strategic voting and "the lesser of two evils is still evil" thinking. Feel free to skip if you don't need another #screed in your life.

The views expressed by me on this weblog are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer, my church, my party, my candidate, my community, my wife, my friends, or, on occasion, myself.

Views expressed by others are, well, theirs. I reserve the right to delete them, but it’s usually better to let the marketplace of ideas hold sway, even if some packages are long past their expiry date.

Stuff I link to? Sometimes it’s because I agree with it. Sometimes because I disagree with it, but want to point (mockingly, in some cases) to my sources regardless; I have a liberal arts background; I believe in citations. And linking to stuff is what the Internet is about.
