I am even more pressed than usual. Though I will try to get some content up in the next two days, time is tight; in addition to my needing to rework my current two book proposals once more at the request of publishers– don’t ask!– we leave Wednesday for our first visit to Deep Springs, …

Guns: Keepers and Projects
In any realistic sense I have “enough” guns but I like to keep things rolling, preferably without spending any (or at least any significant) money, in order to keep my brain stimulated. Besides I like looking at them, just like my art and even the spines of my books– seeing them in the rack is …

The inimitable polymath and prodigiously productive blogger Darren Naish, a serious anatomist, was …

Jim and I have just returned from a fantastic trip to Lesotho and South Africa. While we enjoyed our journey into the heart of traditional Zululand in South Africa (a future post), our arrival in the high alpine mountains of Lesotho was the discovery of Shangri-La. The Kingdom of Lesotho is an independent nation entirely …
