Absence Makes the Hit Count Drop

Absence Makes the Hit Count Drop

Adventure Week continues, but I’ve been too tired to blog. Also I’ve been trying to catch up on Camp NaNo. At this point (the morning of The End) I need about fifteen thousand words. If I were a reasonable person, I’d give up. I may yet. But. It’s 0748, and I have 35,401 words on […]

May It Be Forever Untrod

So it’s Adventure Week here at Camp KD. Yesterday was Kitt Peak. Today it was Kartchner Caverns. These are the Whetstone Mountains outside of Benson, Arizona.

Impatience Has Its Good Points

I don’t wait well. Possibly I should qualify that. If I’m in a waiting room? I’m fine. I’ve got my book, I’m good, just be loud when you call my name. On hold? I’m all right. You’ve probably got ten, maybe even fifteen minutes before I start getting annoyed. (Less if you have some perky
