42, of course! Eat well, try to get exercise, make some friends. Something else? You know. The unanswerable question. Fun for the whole family! It’s something that I’ve always been interested in. In college, I signed up for a freshman English course called...

This has been a vexed question for me for some time now! I asked a buddy who’s in marketing and she didn’t know, either. So, as some of you know, I deleted my first Facebook a few years ago. I really enjoyed it, but I was also very angry about Cambridge...

My neighbor’s tree decided to play an April Fools joke on me… and my roof. I was sitting in my living room minding my own business when BOOM!!!!!! followed by cats racing around like lunatics, because, as you know, Bob, cats dislike loud noises and are...

This is how I celebrated my birthday two years ago, at the height of the pandemic. Yes, in the Sims. Yeah. It was a whole thing. (That’s the Goth family, Summer Holiday from the BFF household, and some of my real life friends, Simified.) This year, I…...

I said that all would be revealed in the fullness of time. I have a new job. One with a less heinous commute. Which means, of course, that it’s time to get back on the writing horse. And the running horse, because working 40 hours a week + 4 hours a day...

Disclaimer: It’s your body. Hack it or not as you choose. If you choose, read on. I have a new hobby. Hacking my body. I’ve lost over a hundred pounds, I run, and I lift weights. I also got a tattoo. Every now and then someone will ask me if I had surgery...

I didn’t write much last year, and the reason why is that I was constructing a different kind of narrative. My mother died unexpectedly last year while I was at WisCon, and finding a way to tell yourself the story in a way that makes sense is an important part...

Of course, setting a writing goal means a server disaster that includes me staying until 4:30am and then getting up at 7 to go to training. I missed a couple of writing days. Will I end up getting the upgrade anyway? Tune in at the end of the month and find...

Happy Dead Bird Day to those of you who eat dead bird, and happy Tofurkey day to the rest of us. Today is a very special day in the US; a harvest festival where we celebrate gluttony. (Some families celebrate all seven of the deadly sins, but we’re slothful...
