People describe the empty nest like a threshold you cross once. The last kid loads the last box, the taillights disappear down the street, and you walk back into a house that has gone suddenly, permanently quiet. Then, the story goes, you stand in the doorway of a room that isn’t a bedroom anymore and you feel the whole thing land at once. Grief on one side, freedom on the other, a clean line between the before and the after.
That’s the version everybody hands you. It rests on two quiet assumpti…

Behold, it is I, the guy who continues to play new shiny videogames instead of sticking to my ongoing playthroughs.
I’ve written before about my ongoing games, which games I would start over instead of resuming, why I abandoned them, and the like.
This post will be different. Not a list of games, not excuses as to why I stopped playing them. My plan is to share with you exactly where I stopped playing and trying to remember what I was doing and where I was going! So, an excercise on my own memor…

I will say this; Planet Crafter moves along at a brisk pace. It is also good about laying out the next objective for you and giving you a way to see how fast you are progressing.
Certainly A Planet Crafter

Also, you’re not actually fighting mobs or bosses. Not yet at least,…

botanic gardens, montreal
One of the things I love most in life, strangely enough, is fleeting and ephemeral: clouds.
I love them, am fascinated by them, and can stare at them for hours on end. They’re ever changing and remind me of how life is ever changing. Nothing ever stays the same, people come and go, we move through time slowly, as if a cloud, always forming and reforming. Sometime benign, sometimes volatile, sometimes thunderous.
And always … always so full of dreams, secrets, and potent…

As you can probably guess by the date on this very first Blaugust 2026 post, I am not intending to shoot for the post-every-day-of-the-month goal this year. As in previous years, my goal is to blog more often than “oh … Continue reading →

Cry "Havoc!" and let slip the dogs of Blaugust! Or is that too aggressive? How about Blaugust, come she will? No, I think I might have used that one before. After a while it gets hard to remember.
But here we are again. And how many of us are there this time? Let me see if I can find the list. You'll have to excuse me a moment. Usually I'd have sorted all this out in advance but the weather's been so lovely and there's been so much else to do...
