The past few months, I've been thinking a lot about the 1990 Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes The Best of Both Worlds (Parts 1 and 2). The episodes start out with a conversation between Captain Picard and his First Officer, Will Riker, over why Riker had quietly turned down taking a command of his… Continue reading I am at a critical juncture of of my Will Riker phase and I am not happy about it

Time is still muddled but at least we’re moving forward (The Playlist, 2022)
I went back to grad school this year. Doctorate this time; Miss D would be proud (see Pomp and Circumstance, Part 2). It's not a secret, but I've been much more selective in who I make announcements to so a good chunk of my family doesn't know (because they don't care to ask). The people… Continue reading Time is still muddled but at least we’re moving forward (The Playlist, 2022)
Keep the Earth Below My Feet (The Playlist, 2019)
2019 sucked just about as much as 2018 did. Maybe it's just because I was still adrift and now grieving, maybe it's just because people are never who you think they are and the closest you can ever get to knowing someone is the image they try to sell you. In any case, change is… Continue reading Keep the Earth Below My Feet (The Playlist, 2019)

Going Full Lucas
And things have a way of coming full circle. With the changes taking place at RCM, it makes more sense to post my writing stuff here until we get a tone and structure set that works more to our end goals. For me, the mission hasn't changed, but my approach (if I am actually to… Continue reading Going Full Lucas
Some Idealism
It was the font that gave it away. As an amateur scholar of propaganda, I'd seen the cartoons and style frequently enough to know what she was reading about from the photo she took of the page. But it was the font of the page number that helped me recognize exactly which book she was… Continue reading Some Idealism

Hello Darkness, My Old Friend
"Remember, I'm pullin' for ya. We're all in this together." So goes the closing line for one of the regular segments of the Red Green show, and the words have been reverberating in my mind a lot as of late. Part of it is just the time of year: the days are cold and dark,… Continue reading Hello Darkness, My Old Friend
Summer Nights
It is the perfect end to a perfect day. RivalCon wrapped up this morning. I spent the rest of the day with one of my favorite people on the planet shopping at my favorite treasure store in the world, buying fancy dresses for the sole purpose of lounging in them on the cabana of my… Continue reading Summer Nights
