Scavenger Hunt

This one's a little different, and for those who have serious time on their hands.

LiveJournal tells me that Eagles Over the Kennebec -- that's this blog, right here -- has been online since March 17, 2004. Which counts as a Good Long While, during which it has amassed a prodigious archive. Now, most of those archived entries are going to be cat-blogging, or lists of books read, or PSAs, notes about the weather and the day-job. But. Some few of them were actual essays of possible continuing informational and/or amusement value.

I need pointers/links to those examples of Deathless Prose.

I realize that I'm asking for subjective choices, and that one woman's entertainment is another's OhPLEASE! -- but that's OK; the field's wide open. Find and link as many entries as you like, be it writing rant, funny story, or slice-of-life.

Easy enough, eh?

Go for it.

Tell me are you a Christian, child?

Man, summer vacation is the greatest.

Yesterday, I tidied my office inasmuch &c. It had just gotten too messy to write in. I can’t say that it’s tidy as I sit here, but it’s tidy enough, and that’ll do.

Today, I converted and uploaded Loose Cannon: Adventures in the Liaden Universe® Number 7 to Smashwords. Because of its reviewing process, it is taking those books I’m uploading quite some time to propagate out to the other vendors, but for those who consider Smashwords to be their Bookstore on the Web, the Liaden Universe® is coming your way. My goal is to upload a book a day, which should get everything we have up in…counts on fingers…seventeen days. Which means by the end of June, even given a break for PortConME, which is coming up in Portland, June 24, 25, and 26.

Today, I also worked on George, breaking new ground. Hopefully this work will pick up, too, now that we’re into a saner headspace. For values of sane that include comfortable and usual, for me, if not necessarily for you.

And now, work done, I’m going to go rustle up some lunch. Steve had mentioned that the potstickers we had narrowly missed having for breakfast on Friday might make a good lunch.

I think he’s onto something.

"I fear that you will not walk far with me at your side," he said. "But I will gladly go as far as I might, with a brother."
