A sunny day today. The high was 84˚F, with a heat index of 85˚F.

I was more productive than yesterday. I made a decent start to the phylogenetics discussion section of MP2, trying to make sense of the 30 most parsimonious trees produced by my PAUP4 analysis last weekend. And I wrote my "appreciation" piece on Peter Straub for Locus. The problem, ( Read more... )

Another very long day.

The sky was mostly clear, enough clouds to hide the indecent blue. The high was 84˚F.

I was up at 6:30 and proofed and edited "A Chance of Frogs on Wednesday" for Bradbury Weather, which is a much better story than I remember. It is the story I was writing when Harlan died ( Read more... )

We saw Avengers: Endgame today, at a 10:45 a.m. matinée at the Summit. I might have liked there have been half an hour trimmed off, but, all in all, I wasn't disappointed. And then we had to stop at Whole Foods for coffee, ramen, dish-washing detergent, pasta sauce, and Annie's mac and cheese. Otherwise, I stayed in all day ( Read more... )

It's overcast. The sky looks like snow. Currently, it's 34˚F.

The day off was not precisely a success. For one thing, there was work, some of it related to the upcoming book tour in support of Agents of Dreamland. And I'm no good at days off. I spent most of it angry and feeling like I was being a bum for not working. It's now been twelve full ( Read more... )

Overcast and cold, 33˚F, with the windchill at 16˚F.

Today, I need to begin something for Sirenia Digest #120 ( Read more... )

The snow began last night about midnight. And it's still falling. There must be at least six fresh inches on top of everything we had already, and it's supposed to keep falling until sometime tonight. Juneau was a bust for Woodstock, but Linus is making up for it. It is truly beautiful here. Currently, the temperature is 21˚F, but the windchill is ( Read more... )

Spooky had to have Hubero at the vet this morning at 8 a.m., as he was scheduled for dental surgery. Now we're waiting for the vet's office to call, so she can go and retrieve him. To pay for this, we'll be getting eBay up and running again this week.

Yesterday, I emailed Bill Schafer and asked if we could add "The Road of Needles" to Beneath and ( Read more... )
