The Struggle
I am stuck. I’m stuck, I’m stuck, I’m stuck. There is a problem that we need to fix in Maggie. I know where I’m going and I have no clue how to get there. I know I’m in trouble because I can’t even clearly articulate what the problem is. I just know that there is

Maple Mustard Chicken Recipe
The edits on Maggie came in and they will be extensive, so I’ve turned to my go-the-distance recipes which can be done once and eaten for two days. This is a fun take on honey mustard. Recipe Put the chicken into a dish, dump the balsamic vinaigrette dressing on it, coat well, refrigerate. I did

Existential Helplessness and Hats
It’s time for that post again. It is no secret that the news cycle feeds us endless bad news.

Back to Work, Back to Reality
Effective communication was vital to competent leadership. It avoided confusion, inspired trust, and clearly detailed the leader’s goal, the path to achieve it, and the consequences of failure. “Drop the crossbows and step away from the baby direbear or I will gut you like a fish.” The two poachers jerked. I had come up through

It is 85 degrees Fahrenheit in Texas this morning. Y’all, it’s chilly. Hehe.

The Time Between

Dragoncon Schedule and Other Things

I finally got an answer as to the stock issue – politics. Apparently the political activists tapped out their T-shirt supply. Onto funner things. I promised to

My Movers Might Be Wanted by the FBI
Sometimes summers last forever. This summer felt like it, a long marathon of hot days filled with work. We had gone to Florida on a short vacation what feels like a lifetime ago. So much happened. And so much of it has been, well, weird. We sold Maggie and worked on the edits. Still working.
