Why do I feel like I’m standing still?
Do you think you're sitting still right now?

- You're on a planet that orbitis a star at 30km/s

- That star is orbiting the center of a galaxy at 230km/s

- That galaxy is moving trough the universe at 600km/s.

Since you started reading this, you have traveled about 3000km.

My Thanksgiving story, which is titled simply "Thanksgiving."

It's a bit of a downer, but not without hope.

I’m not much into self-introductions, but here goes: SAHD with one in HS, one in college, who writes sci-fi and fantasy, teaches martial arts, does more than my share of DIY, and retired from academia, where I taught international politics and nuclear nonproliferation
