I didn’t get any writing done today, but I did get started on Gotham, which is as good as I remember it on the first try. I do plan on writing this weekend, finishing up the first draft of “The Graveyard Shift”. I also plan on reading Bill Shunn’s novella “Incliniation” in the April/May Asimov’s.…
So here I am, at work, getting ready to go into a meeting where everyone will have to watch me work my way through this massive, three-scoop, chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice-cream with everything-on-it banana split from Haagen Dazs. A great way to relax on a Friday.
I’m up to 80 pushups as of tonight. I did 3 sets: 40/30/10. Ten more nights and I’ll be at my full three sets of 90 (40/30/20). Once there, I’ll probably start adding in more weights during the week. And at some point, some cardio.
I’m going to try and finish up It’s Superman this evening after I get out of the shower. If I do end up finishing it, then the next book on the list is Gotham: A History of New York City Through 1898. This is a 1,200 page, 800,000 word book that I tried reading back…

The April/May double-issue of Asimov’s arrived today with a new novella by William Shunn. Looking forward to starting that tomorrow evening.
Of all of the people listening to music in the world at this very moment, is it possible that one person is listening to something at this moment that no one else in the world is listening to? I wonder.
When I headed into work this morning, it felt pretty warm out (no ice on the car, etc), and was overcast. Later on this morning, I looked out my office window to see that it was raining. Now, just a few minutes ago, I looked out another window and it was snowing! That snow has…
I just did two full sets of pushups 40/30 which now brings me to 70 total. Tomorrow I’ll begin on the third set with the ultimate goal of doing 40/30/20. I also squeezed in 20 crunches, for what they are worth. My weight is still steady at 64 kg.
