Sandhill cranes conspire to bust out of the wildfowl preserve! Gee, I hope not. And I can’t literally be. I was sound asleep and Emma Dog roused me crying to go outside; that’s the only reason I’m up and around at this Godless hour. When Emma wants out, I let her out. I’m just going to say she’s a big dog, and let it go [...] I need to be better about updating my blog. So here’re some quick and semi-random notes. First, I’m hustling to polish off my story for the new standalone Wild Cards anthology, Fort Freak. It’s kind of a Sidney Lumet yarn: lots of conversation and conspiracy, then somebody gets shot. But light-hearted. No, really. Mostly. It does get [...] Yesterday, walking through the Vineyard on an incredible autumn afternoon after brunch at García’s at 4th and Mountain, Joe asked how my square foot garden experiment had gone.

Except for [...] Scientists, those scamps, have turned up the smallest known predatory dinosaur in Canada. Aww, aren't they cute li'l flesh-rending terrors? Meet Hesperonychus elizabethae. At around two and a half pounds they’re half the size of your cat. Wait, that can’t be right, although I read it on some news service. A quarter-cat, say. Or less if [...] I never promised you profound. So, having been up much of the night wired by having finished a story (see last post), per prior arrangement I got a call from my pal Joe a bit past 9:30 this AM to meet him at our usual haunt, VI, for breakfast. Since his schedule doesn’t allow us much [...] Today I took Toshi, Jr., my notebook computer, to Village Inn for what we’ll (continuing yesterday’s theme) euphemistically call a late breakfast. Right outside the door a fruit tree was in full bloom. I could even smell a hint of it.
