New essay: Jason Isbell, Christmas Lights, and The Problem of Evil.

It's about death, defiance, and why darkness is needed for the lights to shine.

Evening all. I’m certainly nervous about my surgery. I had AI do some math, I am about as likely to get into a fender bender on the way there as I am to actually have major complications.

Pup helps me calm down. :)

I’m having spinal surgery (double fusion + microdiscectomy) this Friday, April 25th.

It’s necessary, and I’m looking forward to getting on the road to real healing.

I’ll be pretty limited in getting out and about for a while.

If you want to come visit while I’m laid up, I’d love the company!
