The day is cloudy and so is my mood. But I have to admit that my mood would be dull and overcast no matter what the weather was. Funerals make me … not sad, exactly, but interspective and quiet. Life feels so potent and vital and strong, but it really is just a nebulous cloud and too dang short. Oy. I am really going to miss Norman Hege. Okay —...

Strange day Friday. Bittersweet. My dear friend Norman Hege had a heart attack, the last of many. I spent an hour with the family at the hospital (he has a huge family with 3 kids, lots of grandkids and great grandkids and greatgreats.) He lasted long enough for them all to get there and then died at around 9 pm. Mr Norman was a great guy, and I loved him like...

When I get back from daddy-time, I’ll concentrate on some role playing game stuff. As some of you know, the RPG Rogue Mage will be out this summer. Yippee!...

Albino Chicks and Books

If you noticed the pic of the albino chicks in the nest with their normally plumed brother – well the chicks are gone now.  One day all the chicks were there, and the next they were gone, flew the coop, so to speak. But the pics go on (in the album Faith and Nature) and we keep an eye out for the appearance of adult albino birds, but the leafy foliage out...
