I've been writing online for thirty years. One of these days I might actually get good at it.

    Falling behind

    I'm getting to the point where just keeping up is beyond my dwindling capacities. I'm not sure what's going on, but I suspect I'm not going to like it when I find out.

    Anyway, I apologize for having been such a lousy correspondent this year.

    Having gone wandering off somewhere

    Of late, I seem to have been overtaken by events: my health has taken a turn for the worst, I wrecked my car, and the guy they hired to help me out at work has moved away. (Another guy has drawn the short straw.) I'm still alive, but it's not something I much feel like bragging about.

    I mean, I'm not allowed beer anymore, at least not until I get off some of these damnable medications, but our little table had massive fun discussing Jenga, photography, classic and modern weaponry, beer (of course) -- and ponies. Apparently they'd read my stuff. Who knew?

    Back in the Real World

    I think I would rather spend two weeks in the Everfree, trying to avoid everything that can kill me, and in the Everfree I assume everything can kill me, than one more minute in a hospital room.

    That said, their definition of "on the mend" doesn't quite coincide with mine.

Pikers from Hogwarts · 11:54pm Dec 31st, 2014

The Bullseye is the last page of Entertainment Weekly, and it's something of a repository for single-line snark. There's a reference this week (issue #1345) to Pottermore, of which they said:

Another year, another 600 additional Harry Potter short stories.

Even granted the fact that Pottermore is a bit more complex than FIMFiction -- six hundred? That's a slow week here.

I'm confused. Pottermore doesn't mention fan fiction.

Maybe they did back then. At the time, I wasn't sufficiently intrigued to check it out.
