My significant one and I don’t appear to be much into what’s popular on television (or at least what’s considered worthy of viewing by the gatekeepers at the various networks.) So many shows that we enjoy watching from the very start are suffer early death-by-cancellation. Timeless and The Colony come to mind, among others. I … Continue reading

Meandering Monday about the Windmills of My Mind
I’m easily distracted. I can be in a conversation with someone, and I’ll notice something – the way two conflicting, different-colored light sources cast crisscrossing shadows, or a cloud that looks like a dragon, or how the swirls of plaster on the wall look like a face.

Except he stays in the town for one day – and lives that same … Continue reading
Fractured Fragment Friday: “In Robert’s Memory”
“In Robert’s Memory” started out with the idea of a sort of Titanic in space, awaiting rescue after a calamity. The pun of a title may have been the germ of the story – but I’m not sure. This is a story about a ship’s computer whose memory becomes contaminated by human inhabitants. In a … Continue reading
