Finished an overdue story revision and sent it in. (It’s a prequel story to “The Stars Change,” although should be read afterwards, because it has spoilers.) Kind of wanted to hold onto it and revise it again, and again, and again, I think because it’s been so long since I’ve been consistently writing fiction that […]

I tried substituting in 1 cup of coconut milk for 1 cup of the heavy cream in tonight’s ice cream experiment. Mostly because I only had 1 cup of heavy cream, and I had an opened can of coconut milk in the fridge with 1 cup left. Waste not, want not… As expected, the result

Lunch — grilled ramps, roasted asparagus, avocado, omelette. Mmm…and it’s even beautiful enough to eat outside today. After three grey and cold days, the sunshine is very welcome.

The family that geeks together avoids Covid-19 together? Something like that. This morning’s masks are Lord of the Rings and Dr. Who for the parents, Star Trek and Hidden Figures for the kids. (Okay, that last one isn’t fictional, but that just makes it even cooler…)

Kevin made waffles for us yesterday. It’s a little cheerful thing in these dark times, having a d20 waffle maker, and some fantastic local barrel-aged bourbon vanilla from Mackinac Bluffs Maple Farms, Inc., picked up at our local Sugar Beet Food Co-op, to indulge with. I slathered it with butter, and then I slathered some more. (Funny
Someone ordered six owl masks, and it’s probably just for their office, or their family, but I kind of hope I was sewing tonight for a secret coven of witches.
Tried out Supernatural VR app — basically like Beat Saber, but 360, which is a little harder and more interesting, with more squats and lunges, and more of a gym / exercise / dance vibe. Free for the first 30 days, $20 / month thereafter, so am planning to try it for a month, see

This morning’s masks were making a bright pink & orange tie-dye one for Jed, which made me happy, because it’s always nice to see grown men in bright pink and orange. And then sewing Middle Earth masks for a mama and her three small kids, which I have to admit, makes me think of her as
