As someone who is the very opposite of “handy,” I’m quite chuffed to have successfully installed our new showerhead!

Since I was just talking a few days ago about wanting to name our house (for stationery purposes), this NYT article is timely: A House by Any Other Name.

Chilly and blustery today, but sunny and not at all dreary. Strong winds overnight took down nearly all the leaves—but not the ones on the sycamores!

Yesterday Jackie and I split a pint of @DESTIHLbrewery’s latest Deadhead, Haze of the Dead, just in time for Halloween.

9:33 AM CDT in Morrissey Park in Champaign, Illinois.

During a pandemic it didn’t seem safe to teach taiji indoors. But we missed the practice and the camaraderie. So we moved to the park, put on masks, and carried on.

Polls have been open for early voting for about 45 minutes. The room is pretty full, but everybody is masked and keeping proper social distance.

I write science fiction and fantasy stories.

I speak Esperanto, and use it to communicate internationally. Esperantistoj, legu mian esperantan hejmpaĝon.

For a while I taught Taiji. My current hobby is HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts, aka sword fighting).

For eleven years I was a senior writer at Wise Bread, writing about personal finance and frugality.

Before that I spent a quarter-century as a software engineer.
