I've often heard people say that dogs think they're humans. I understand what people mean when they say that; their dogs act less like animals than they do their human partners. And dogs do that. It's what makes them dogs and not wild. But dogs definitely don't think...

The building consumed a lot of my time today. Le sigh. That's the way it goes sometimes. In much, much happier news...I am a CERTIFIED Story Grid Editor! Boooom 🙂 What does that mean? It means that I've formalized certain skills that can be used to improve and/or...

Have to help the Panda with a scene before the sleeps, and I need to get up on time tomorrow morning, so it's a quick one tonight. Great Sunday. A's lost. Boo. Warriors won. Yay. Cleaned house. Check. Published podcast. Also check. And check that one out, yo. It's a...

I'm a technology fanatic. My podcasting partner Josh has observed many times coming over to my house that it's like I live in the future (his words, not mine 😂). I love that shit. New gadget? Sign me up. Well, at least I'm interested. It's not so much that DO...

I had a busy day working from home today. Lots of personal and building tasks to get completed, and I got them done for the most part. Thumbing this entry tonight. Coco just snuggled up against my leg with a big sigh, and Coops is giving himself a bath. Liz is driving...

Cooper always waits for permission to come up onto the bed. Every night. He'll sit by the edge of where Liz sleeps and stare at me until I invite him up. And then he curls up right next to her pillow, and begins to give himself a bath. This. Dog. It's going to be a...

I'm going to be working with another author on Escape From Red Tower. Not as a co-author. Traditionally, you'd consider the kind of work we're going to do together as an author / developmental editor relationship, but this person doesn't call himself that. He calls it...

Jesus. Chernobyl is intense. We killed dogs this episode. Pet dogs. Don't get me wrong, the show is really, really good. It's the right kind of horrifying, the kind of horrifying that exposes truth and changes policy...which that disaster did. I worked today and...

Watching Chernobyl and...yikes. I mean, I've read about the disaster. Can't remember why I read about it, but it wasn't that long ago. I learned about the test gone wrong, how the firefighters could taste metal in their mouths and how they died excruciating deaths...
