Byzantium's Shores: chronicling the misadventures of an overalls-clad hippie: God help me, I kinda want to see this movie

Elen síla lúmenn' omentielvo!

Penning dispatches from sunny Buffalo, NY and its lovely environs since February 2002!

This is a personal blog, wherein you won't find much political content. Instead, you shall find assorted ramblings about books, writing, movies, music, food, drink, hand tools, power tools, Star Wars, Tolkien, Guy Gavriel Kay, occasional travel, magical places near my home, and all my sporadic misadventures (including the occasional pie in my face), all in my trusty bib overalls.

I love comments and welcome them; for more on that, see the site comment policy (link in the right-hand sidebar). I also welcome e-mail, so feel free to contact me at:

My default assumption is that e-mails are publishable, unless I am specifically asked to treat them otherwise. I do honor all such requests. 'Friendly and approachable' is what I'm going for here!

"I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.'

--Thomas A. Edison

"Make your country...into a land that understands more than only war and righteous piety. Allow space in your lives for more than battle chants to inspire soldiers. Teach your people to...understand a garden, the reason for a fountain, music."

-The Lions of Al-Rassan,
Guy Gavriel Kay

Writing is magic, as much the water of life as any creative art. The water is free. So drink.
Drink and be filled up.

Stephen King
We speak for Earth. Our obligation to survive is owed not just to ourselves but also to that Cosmos, ancient and vast, from which we spring.
