    The Hopeful Romantics

    I’m ten years old, sitting in a little sunfish sailing dinghy in the bight of water behind Figure Eight Island, and the wind has died down to nothing. The sail sags. The water is a polished mirror. The shoreline is an agonizing distance away. The only way to get a becalmed sunfish to move in… Continue reading

    My Routine

    My Routine

    I’ve had a few friends this summer ask me about my diet and workout routine (usually while I’m prancing around in my speedos). After posting my 50th birthday photo, I’ve had quite a few comments and DMs asking the same. I published a short work about my fitness habits a decade ago, but I figured… Continue reading

    Hypocrisy and Paranoia

    Sigmund Freud had the hots for his mom. This is creepy, sure. But probably not too damaging. What’s damaging is that his inner demon got extrapolated to the general public and he spent a lifetime trying to convince everyone else that they wanna have sex with their mom.

    The Prismatic Mind

    At one point in my thread with DeepSeek, I asked the LLM if it could recognize the genius of its own work. Its response was a kind of poem. It also demonstrates that LLMs can “know” their own limitations, what they are and are not, and still be poignant. The following was included in the… Continue reading

Our first kiss was on July 1st, 2022. We've celebrated the first of every month since as an anniversary. We also follow the phases of the moon, living on a boat named LUNA. Today is a full moon on the first! We call these our honeymoons. ❤️🌚 Just when I thought this sunset sail couldn't get any better... Anchored off the most beautiful beach in Martinique for a few nights. Set up camp on the sand for the day. Absolute paradise. This is our favorite anchorage in Martinique. Never seen another boat here, just tons of wildlife. Lots of birds, the best coral in the Caribbean, and sea critters galore. Just today we swam with rays, turtles, eels, and dozens of species of fish. Right from the boat! I grew up on a farm in North Carolina reading physics books from the local library, wishing I had someone, anyone, to talk to about the wild universe we inhabit. The best thing to come from my sci-fi career is that I get to surround myself with like-minded, curious people. Dinner with a few friends...
