Winston Churchill once said, “Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result,” but I think maybe Churchill had never had a dog pull hard on the leash while they were walking across an icy parking lot.

Street lights on the ice glaze left by freezing rain.

Street lights shine on snow and ice, with a swing set in the foreground.

The ice fairy cometh.

A ice bucket, freshly filled on the counter

(In my brother’s household, the person who actually takes the trouble to make ice, when everyone else just takes ice, is referred to as the ice fairy.)

“To me, success as a writer would be dying alone on an ice floe shortly after turning eleventy-one.”

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.
