“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”
Another week, another Monday, and another tedious effort to drag oneself out of bed and off to work. For those of you on the Eastern Seaboard of the US, today was probably particularly difficult, given the mother of all snowstorms apparently slammed into the country...
The weekends are definitely way too bloody short. I am absolutely certain at this point that I got robbed of a solid six hours yesterday, somehow. I have no idea exactly how it happened, but all I know is that I woke up this morning thinking it was still the weekend,...
For some strange reason, it really feels like the weekends have gotten MUCH shorter since the New Year started. This is not a good thing, at all. I had only just started to recover from going back to work, after a rather pleasant holiday, and then it was straight back...
Well, 2025 is now firmly in the rear-view mirror, and given how insane the first FIVE DAYS of 2026 have been, I have a sneaking feeling that most of us will be asking if we can get it back, despite how nuts that year was. We just witnessed the US government basically...
The days are getting shorter, but the season is getting ever more festive. We are, after all, only ten days away from the best day of the year – Christmas. (That is, if you follow the Western calendar. For my Eastern Orthodox brethren that follow the old Julian...

That weekend was definitely defective… I thought it was going to be restful and quiet, but it turned out to be absolutely NOTHING of the sort. I ended up getting far less sleep on Sunday than I do on a weekday. This had to do with planning my upcoming Christmas...
So much for the weekend – it just plain whizzed by. However, I doubt my American readers are particularly fussed, because this week is going to be, for them, a half-week, at best. That is because the annual tradition of Thanksgiving is right around the corner....
Once again, the weekend really zipped by way too fast. Indeed, they all seem to be doing that now, as we charge headlong toward the end of 2025. And what a crazy year it has been. Not only have the days been getting shorter and more urgent, somehow, but the years...
Well, that weekend went by far too quickly – as they all do. Things seem to e accelerating as we get closer to the end of the year. Or maybe that is simply because I am getting older – time seems to shift a lot faster now that I am no longer in my...
