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.

    A night at the beer garden

    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?

    Regular visitors will remember that I'd asked the estimable LeekFish to knock out a sketch for my, um, OC. I posted it here, and it was well received; our own Twifight Sparkill came up with an idea, and heck, there's no reason you shouldn't see it here, especially since she's revised it to give me a more, um, scholarly look. (The LeekFish original is still in the sidebar at

    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.

Still breathing · 1:36am Dec 25th, 2014

The Mystery Virus -- unless, of course, it was a bacterium -- has taken its leave of me, and good riddance.

If you're celebrating a holiday this week, I hope it's utterly wonderful. (And if you're not, I still hope things are utterly wonderful for you.)

You can never get too much Grand Funk.

This suddenly occurs to me:

On the road for just one day
Last night in Detrot we ate bad hay
Sweet, sweet Trixie put on her act
She had all the power, that's a natural fact
Up all night with Fluttershy
She'll go for hours if she just don't fly
Lots of cider keeps us tight
As long as we don't mess up the show tonight

We're an Equestrian band
We're an Equestrian band
We come into your town, we'll help you pony it down
We're an Equestrian band

Okay, maybe I'm not completely well.
