In honor of Sunday: here are two reasons why I’m not a Christian. First, I don’t believe. It’s not that I disbelieve, it’s that I don’t know. I have no faith in it. That’s the big reason. Second, I only know two people personally that I would consider to be living out Christian principles with …
Goal of the day: think. Projects up next: “The Name of the Feather,” to be edited. “The Best of All Possible Beauregards,” still in first-draft stage. “Death by Chocolate,” in dire need of a rewrite.

Purchased Sword & Claw by Gene Wolfe yesterday as co-gift to self and spouse. Gene Wolfe…like Brian Aldiss, he’s one of those writers I …
Something cool for anyone who reads, and who reads comics: Have you read Sandman? Do you remember Gilbert, a.k.a. Fiddler’s Green? Unfortumately, I’m having trouble finding a picture of him, so you’ll just have to visualise him. Check this out. Apparently G. K. Chesterton was a man who delighted in theological paradoxes, and “…was a …
