I have a confession to make: I don’t watch Game of Thrones. I did watch season 1, and maybe even parts of season 2, but at some point I lost interest. It moves too slowly for my taste. I can keep up just fine by looking over DH’s shoulder to see what the characters have…

OK, I think I got the short stories out of my system for a little while, which means that I can get back to papers and proposals; those babies (well, more like cantankerous old men) aren’t gonna write themselves. Also, I will be back to blogging! Here’s the tally. Total: Nine stories written and submitted…

I read this morning about one blogger’s long road trip, in which the blogger lamented — or, more precisely, preemptively apologized for — “eating (gross) road food” and the kids watching movies on tablets. I don’t understand this. First, I know for a fact that you can travel cross-country, stop only at McDonald’s, and…

One benefit of having multiple kids of the same gender is that you only have to buy clothes once, for the oldest child, and the rest can largely wear hand-me-downs. This is particularly useful for things like winter boots and coats or swim trunks, all of which get limited use per year and per kid,…

This morning, by way of Google Scholar alerts, I found out that we’d almost sorta got scooped. Meh. I work on roughly four loosely connected topics, and a group that works on one of them (and only that one) published a paper that presents an alternative approach to ours. It’s less rigorous, it has similar…

Here are some character sketches, in pencil. Some of these will make their way into the comic.

I am feeling a little too rested, which makes me unbearably restless. I am really looking forward to the new semester and the return of structure, even if powers-that-be yet again make us use a completely new electronic course-management system. Eldest told me yesterday, “Maybe you should write another book. The last one kept you…
