Including myself, I know of 7 people who are probably participating in the NaNoWriMo contest this year. I’m really looking forward to it, and my novel should be at least somewhat On-Topic for my blog, so maybe I’ll talk about it here. I just received my copy of Chris Baty’s “No Plot, No Problem”, which […]
Day Three was a Sunday, the Expo was over for another year, and today I’d head home, but first was some good hang-out time. A friend and I went for a long drive trying to find breakfast, and ended up settling for Denny’s. I ordered one of the specials for $4.99, and he got something […]
Here’s big sisters Heidi and Rianna holding the newest of their ilk, Kyla Jane Harbron, born at 7:29 a.m. on October 24th, 2005. She weighed in at 10 pounds, 14 ounces, and both mom and baby are doing great.

Travelling to Chicago is my annual chance to listen to a bunch of cool tapes from my aging collection. This year I brought a bag of about 50 cassettes. I play a bit of a game with it, randomly drawing a tape out and listening to the whole thing, whether I like it or not. […]
Saturday – expo day! As usual, Friday night hanging-out-itude went way too late, so we were late for the 9 a.m. start time. Mark and I (the two dads) managed to wake up well before Adrian – this too, is usual. The conference room was once again in the basement of banishment. I think that […]
Sorry about my absence. I’ve got drafts of the rest of my expo experience, but I’ve been finding it difficult to write, and there have been plenty of distractions. Two weeks ago I found out I would finally get a job interview for a programming position I had applied for back in August. Knowing there […]
