As I tap this out, I can say that it’s been a really uneventful week, following a pre-determined pattern. Wake. Paperwork. Scan Headlines. Reheat leftovers. Read. Pass out. Repeat. Part of this is because I’m still not feeling great; likely lingering con crud, but who knows, given what the kids bring home, and what I […]

Con crud is kind of a thing. But I’ll persevere, thanks to rest, sinus meds, and Nyquil. As I said, Marscon was awesome, and the dissonance of coming back into the normal world after living in con world for a couple of days is always challenging, especially when you’re having trouble breathing through your nose.

The following exerpt from this article at Poltico on Thursday once more describes a common theme I’ve seen pop up in primary coverage a lot, and in particular in the last week: …Stephens gushed about a different candidate: Elizabeth Warren.

Marscon is, without question, always a great time for me. It’s a chance to see friends, make music, and try to shake off the stresses of mundane life for the weekend. This year was no different, though moreso than in other years, it was definitely a working vacation, with me playing seven(!) shows, in several […]

I’ll be entirely honest, since last friday, it’s been a hell of a lot of week, for a number of reasons which I won’t burden you all with, but I’ve been kind of on edge and in a low-grade threat posture all week; it’s been tough to relax and let go. Taking Friday off to […]

As you see above, I am all over the place at Marscon next weekend. It’s going to be fun, but it’s going to be tiring, being, as I am increasingly known, “The Guy In Every Band™”!

Y’know, this week’s been primarily about figuring out how to be a productive member of society again after being off the grid in holiday limbo for two weeks. I’ve mostly fallen back into things, pushing documents around and being bureaucratic and stuff. I also spent a bit of time keeping my eye on the HR […]

My year-end (mostly) Staycation™ came to it’s inevitable end yesterday. The break was actually pretty relaxing, when I consider things. We all decided to make Christmas itself pretty low-key; the end of the year was way to hectic and crazy, with sewing projects and obligations and not as much money as we’d like and such, […]
