Last night’s Pie Night

It was the most remarkable occurrence. You wouldn’t understand, were I to elaborate, but I can tell you that Signs and Wonders were vouchsafed unto us. We don’t know what any of it means, but we suspect that things are about to get either a whole lot better or much, much worse.

It begins

What, exactly? I can’t say. But today’s unremarkable trip down the coast–I’m changing planes in Sacramento right now–feels significant. Some new stage is about to start.

L. and I agreed, while stuck in southbound traffic on the way home, on what the problem is: getting up to Los Angeles is just enough of a hassle, for those of [...]

Checking in

I beg, as usual, your patience; I’m sort of busy being on vacation in a more-than-usual kind of way.

Western Washington is a fine place. It would have been no particular disappointment if my plans to settle here hadn’t been superseded. We’ve had more good weather than bad since I arrived, though more bad weather is [...]
