July 2026 – Greetings

Coffee with crema in a fancy cup with saucer.

I am here! I have been working too much (my life story), drinking about the right amount of coffee, and reading heavily without writing about reading. Writing about what I’ve read helps me process my thoughts and is an important step for me, whether or not I post about my writing here…

My reading (and viewing) since my last post includes:

  • Redshirts by Scalzi
