When the world is under constant threat from an army of mechanical horrors, one might wonder if anyone really wants to get out and see the world instead of hunkering down in place. And – because the world is under constant threat from an army of mechanical horrors – how does anyone get from one…

The power of intentionally letting go

I’m amazed at how things come together sometimes. A couple of weeks ago, I found myself at a tournament for Magic: The Gathering. Picture a forgotten corner of a local civic building, plastic chairs crowding long tables under a row of fluorescent lights. A few dozen people – all about the same age as me…

Central Bites: Maxims

Of the many traditions in Central, none are as famous or as anxiety-inducing as the maxims.

Editing update #3

Finishing something – actually finishing it, once and for all – is a curious thing.
