Late September I had a bladder tumor removed. It had gotten into the muscle wall, but just barely and the Dr is pretty sure they got it all. Late December 2019 I had my first cystoscopy checkup and it all looked good. Late June 2020 I had another cystoscopy and it looked good, too. In […]
Imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger in Kindergarten Cop when he’s saying, “It’s not a toomah!” Only this time he’s saying, “It’s a toomah!” Last Tuesday I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. Okay, the doctor never used the C-word, but did say he found a tumor and has me scheduled for surgery Monday the 23rd along with a […]
I’ve never liked first-person shooters — not from a “too much killing” standpoint (crap, what does that say about me?!), but from a standpoint of just not finding them to be much fun. However, a couple years ago when Tom started playing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) I started watching him play and discovered it was really […]
These are the books I finished reading during 2015. Yes, I’m kind of embarrassed. I’m turning over a new leaf for 2016 — read less! Highlights for me included discovering Robin Hobbs and Michael Connelly, and rediscovering Wilbur Smith. January 2015 False Dawn (Jake Lassiter #3) by Paul Levine Starship’s Mage: Omnibus by Glynn Stewart First […]
Here are the books I finished during the month of December, 2015. I never read the Harry Potter books before, so I decided to do that now — the first one hit in December. I’m getting them in digital format from the library, so most of them are on hold and it will probably be […]
Here are the books I finished during the month of November, 2016. It’s more sparse than many months because school was heating up and I was getting ready for finals, etc. I’ve read The Postman maybe a couple times before, but it was still a great read. And Great North Road by Hamilton was a […]
Here are the books I finished during the month of October, 2015. I liked Armada better than I expected (based on Amazon reviews), but Cline’s Ready Player One is just too good. Sucks for him that he wrote his best work, first. 😉 Seeing this list made me realize I haven’t read the last book […]
Books I read during the month of September — and hey, there’s actually a non-fiction book in there this time (one of my school books). Not sure why I’ve never read the Harry Bosch novels by Michael Connelly before now. There are 20+ and he’s been writing them since the early 90s. They’re the kind […]
Not sure I’ll do this next year — while I kind of like to look back and see what I’ve read, I can’t help thinking about how much “stuff” I could have gotten done if I hadn’t read all those books… Eight of those books are rereads — I read them at some time during […]
These are the books I finished reading in July, 2015. Honestly, I think there might have been one or two more, but I was trying to cut back on my reading to work on a new game and didn’t write everything down as soon as I finished reading it. Dragon City by Robin Hobb Dragon […]
