Doodz. What you won’t find on the internet. Among the schmucks who owe delinquent taxes to the state of Wisconsin, what may be the best. evah. name for a gambling man in tax trouble.

It was a good day.
They’re a bunch of old hippes, these people I spent my day with, people who once lived together in a commune but who have now scatterred to the winds that once named their home. They reminded me of where I want to go, and what path I need to walk to [...]

I spent most of the day, here, in this place. I took this picture in the spring, but, of course, the fall weather is here, now, though the autumnal equinox is still a few days away. Some of the elders I visited had their air conditioners running full blast, others had their heat on; by [...]

Well, I sat down at the computer at about 11 AM to write a brief entry for Projectland and cobble together a second entry composed of all the 1 sentence to one paragraph entries I’ve started over the past month or so. It’s now 1830. Wow, the Internet is an interesting place. Let’s see, I [...]

There is clearly something in my makeup that appreciates well-roundedness, and from this is born my love of trying all aspects of a thing. Yesterday morning, I was offered the position of SUN Chancellor, an SCA office that is essentially in charge of maintaining lists of teachers. In the original days, it was more like [...]
