- The easiest way to stay under budget when you go to the home improvement center is to not bring your bank card.
- They open at 7 AM, for the record. I won’t lose too much time.
- When a bear smiles at you, you probably ought to check to make sure he’s not just showing you his teeth.
- Hmmm, go to downtown Louisville to rub elbows with a few hundred thousand of my closest friends, or pack a lunch and go to the zoo with Boo. Decisions, decisions.
- For you writers out there, does it feel odd to develop a character and really round them out, even though you’ve already sketched out their grisly, squishy death?
- Geek moment – Trying to explain to someone young why something is the way it is in Unix/Linux, and realizing that they will never understand things like systems with limited RAM or hard drive space.
- The look in Boo’s eyes when he got the practice sword I bought him for his birthday was awesome.
- At the same time, the conversation I had with the Nashville police about how it was made of plastic when I was walking to my truck Saturday night was pretty cool, too.
- I can already see that I’m going to have to buy something for myself. That little guy is fast and strong.

/ April 17, 2015So, the sword…..
Gladius or spatha pattern perchance….?
The only other pattern which strikes me as a possibility is Viking?
Anyone else with any guesses before all is revealed…?

/ April 17, 2015Yeah. I developed Loki more in my head than I did on paper in The Godshead. And it doesn’t get much bloodier or grislier than being eaten by Fenrir.

/ April 18, 2015It’s really hard to flesh out a character to the point you really like them, then kill them. Especially in nasty ways. You have my complete sympathy.

Hell, when a bear smiles at you, don’t hang around. The odds that he is smiling instead of just showing his teeth are not worth calculating.

/ April 18, 2015Heh. Watching you carry the gladius around during and after the NRA AM was entertaining. “That’s not a knife, THIS is a knife”. Good to hear Boo got such a kick from it.
Oh, and our discussion Saturday evening, we forgot a character: The Sphinx.
Good that your drive back was uneventful and safe. Ours was too. May have broken the jinx on the RV.
