James Moody shot me a disgruntled look as he pitched an accusatory thumb toward the other fellow standing before me. From behind me, my sister Frieda leaned forward to whisper in my ear, "Bryon, dear brother, it's Berkowitz.". I sho...

A Portrait of the Dumbass as an Old Man: 07/01/2015 - 08/01/2015
http://portraitofthedumbass.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 27, 2015. Is the second adult novel by Paolo Bacigalupi. Paulo is one of the bards of the coming climate crisis. The novel's pacing is very tight and the cast of characters is relatively small. The plot is very nicely twisted, worthy of Film Noir. I would guess the movie rights to this are already sold, and it will make a great film. Too bad Danny Trejo is too old to play the title character. Another major component of the story is the book "Cadillac Desert". 8220;It’s wallpaper. E...I proba...

Wednesday, May 27, 2015. By Ramez Naam (@ramez). This is the 3rd book in the "Nexus" series, the 1st 2 books of which I blogged about here. The book has all the positive attributes of the 1st 2: breakneck pacing, tons of action and explosions, great computer geek authenticity, lots of memorable characters. The message of social justice, civil rights, and equality for all is even stronger, yay! I also liked how much of the story involved China and India - realistic for 25 years from now. The 2 memes are b...

A Portrait of the Dumbass as an Old Man: How Does Walter Tunis Do It?
http://portraitofthedumbass.blogspot.com/2015/07/how-does-walter-tunis-do-it.html
Friday, July 17, 2015. How Does Walter Tunis Do It? Walter Tunis is the Lexington Herald Leader. S music critic. We moved to Lexington in 1981, and he had become their music critic just before that, so he has been the music critic for our entire Lexington history. I follow his blog. Which normally means I read his pieces before they hit the paper. He goes through I'm guessing 2x the new music that I do. So the question is, how does he do it? Some songs have pedal steel, and then they came through Lexingt...

Saturday, June 20, 2015. I finished reading "Nemesis Games". By James S.A. Corey. This is the the 5th installment of The Expanse series (soon to be a series on SyFy channel). The other installments I've blogged:. Leviathan Wakes, #1. Caliban's War, #2. Abaddon's Gate, #3. Cibola Burn, #4. 2 novellas and 1 short story. Set in the Expanse Universe. The novel also has something in common with the previous novel I reviewed. It was kind of shocking to have that theme brought up in 2 successive reads. Next the...

The Mushroom Grove: December 2004
http://mushroomgrove.blogspot.com/2004_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 31, 2004. I started to write something about Divine Grace and stopped. I got out the soapbox for some reflections on my other blog. I think I'll leave it at that. It's the last day of December, the last day of the year, 2004. Like every other year that has come and gone, this one has been full of joys, frustrations, worries, sorrows and abiding love. Regrets? None that I can think of at this moment. Any New Year resolutions? Each of us sets an example for someone, let us be worthy of it.
