Chalk Up the Palms and Get to Work

1/26/2005 – 1:49 pm

Finished “The Saga of King Hrolf Kraki” last night which makes it my third book this month I read. That’s a nice stat. Sort of balances out the fact that I’ve written about 1200 words in the new year. Maybe. This wasn’t my favorite saga by a long shot but the end really captured my [...]

Happy New Year!

1/2/2005 – 9:28 pm

Here we are in 2005 and it’s been raining. Raining in Wisconsin in January. Something is very wrong here. New Year’s came and went and proved to be a long yet pretty fun weekend. Saw people we hadn’t seen in a long time and that’s always good. We’ve also figured out the key to a [...]
