Well, well, well. I need to meet some people. I have been spending far too long in relative isolation–it’s gonna kill me before much longer. So! If you’re local and want to get together for coffee, dinner, whatever–send me an e-mail, tell me when’s good for you, don’t be shy! I can’t hack much more […]

So we’ve arrived in San Jose! The condo is much nicer than I expected–quite roomy, plenty ‘o space, in the middle of the quasi-barrio, but in a gated community, so not bad at all. So I was pleased there. Carlota did a great job on the advance scout. On the other hand…no furniture. At all. […]

New Orleans

(I had meant to post this consecutively, but my hatred of Texas overwhelmed my sense of chronology.) So while we were passing through Louisiana, with Texas only a vague foreboding on the horizon, we hit New Orleans in the mid-afternoon. “Hey!” I said. “New Orleans!

Carlota and I rolled into Alabama last night to her parents’ place, and man, they are Southern Gentry.  In the nicest and most gracious possible way. By which I mean somebody handed me a Mimosa in the shower. Showered, cheerful, slightly drunk, I staggered out […]

Not quite on the road yet…which is probably why I spent last night in a gay bar drawing hamster porn. I will deny the existence of these sketches to my grave–especially that one with the ball gag–and the instigator will either be shot for contributing to my delinquency, or else roped into coauthoring the Hama […]

So Long, Farewell, and Hey–Calendars For Sale!

I’m gonna be sporadic on-line for awhile–my computer is getting broken down tonight, so it’s posting from my laptop on the road kinda stuff from here on out–but before I go, next year’s Ursula Vernon calendars are for sale! Order now! And Blackbeard’s Rugged Tampon T-shirts are now available for ordering on-line! Shock innocent bystanders! […]
