New Cover. Same Text.

May 2, 2013

I found a pretty piece of public-domain nautical art that was better than the public-domain nautical art on the original cover, so The Macedonian now has a new, prettier cover. The text is still the same, though. If you want to buy a new copy just for the cool new cover, however, don’t let me stop [...]

The Gallery of Whaam

April 24, 2013

The weather was dubious in England, and Kathy is up for knee replacement and really isn’t good on cobbles or stairs or whatever, so we spent a lot of time indoors in art galleries and museums.  And seeing a whole lot of art n a short amount of time sent certain ideas floating up to [...]

Jet Lag

April 23, 2013

I’ve been back in the States for a few days now, and am almost over the jet lag. I’ve always found East-to-West a lot harder to get over than West-to-East. One of the joys of returning to my home is that I can finally sit in a room with enough light to read.  Three weeks [...]
