Today was a lot of fun. I got to go the Phoenix Skeptics meeting where we do our annual predictions. In 2009 we hit on 83.3% if our predictions. This is down from last year, but we actually predicted correctly that our percentage would be lower than in 2008. Yes, we are just that good. […]

I got another chapter done today. I’ve only been doing one a day in December to give my hands a chance to recover. It’s working pretty well. They aren’t hurting as they were, which is no fun, of course; and a rather dismal prospect for the future. I might have gotten more done, but I […]

I knocked down another chapter today, for 2547 words. I might have gone for more, but I wanted to give my hands a chance to rest. I suspect that the aches of Saturday, and feeling fatigued earlier in the week, were less exhaustion from writing than they were my fighting off a low-grade flu. Had […]
