At the beginning of the month, I noted that while I hadn't quite achieved a perfect run on meditating and writing every day I had done pretty well for myself. There were a couple of days with Further Confusion where I didn't hit my goal and a few more towards the end of the month, … Continue reading (Personal) Accountability Report, February 2017

(Personal) State of the Jackalope, May 2016
The past couple of months have been marked by the death of various tech around the burrow and the attempts to replace them. Now that Bigwig (my desktop) and Hazel-rah (the new laptop) are settled for a while, I can get back to the business of writing and I'm tremendously excited about that. Hazel-rah is … Continue reading (Personal) State of the Jackalope, May 2016
(Writing) New Year’s Resolutions, 2016
It feels like I swing back and forth with resolutions from year to year. One year, I'm all business with concrete resolutions that have a pass/fail success condition. Write 6 short stories.

And I've been trying to develop a good running practice for a little over seven years now -- first by regular trips on the treadmill and then by carving out good routes around the burrow. As you … Continue reading Whatever Your Heart Can Handle
My Whole 30 – Week 2
I've been on the Whole30 adventure for two weeks. I'm really hesitant to call it a "diet," because that comes with all kinds of baggage I don't want. A diet is something you're on for a brief amount of time, drop a bunch of weight, and then gain it all back again when you hop … Continue reading My Whole 30 – Week 2
All I Can Eat
It was Super Bowl Sunday, and I was riding the high of a dominant performance by the Ravens. I admit that I may have had a rather heavy Baltimore Bang or two, and I was in that state of mind where you're friends with the world, and you can do anything. Our host brings up … Continue reading All I Can Eat
