Leave Taking

Submitted by mpm on

In a month or so (August 31st to be exact) I have to be out of our house, because we found a renter for September 1 (actually, one of my present housemates is going to take over, and get more housemates - and he already found a bunch.) I'm quite thankful for that, because the housing market is so bad, that for the two months our house was on the market, no one even came to look at it.  Yes, Virginia, the housing market around here is that bad. Our realtor said that basically nothing listed for more than $200K was selling. Sigh. So ...

Cleveland, OH

Submitted by mpm on

Ruth and I are in Cleveland, OH - taking a break from her two-week long residency teaching poetry at Ashland University's MFA writing program. I joined her for the week, and have been doing a bit of work, and a good bit of writing. I'm sitting at a cafe, namely Arabica's cafe, in University Circle. This Arabic was not here when I lived here 20 years ago. There was a single Arabica that had just opened up in Coventry - a fun place to hang out, with people playing chess and go in the back.

Theology of the Trinity

Submitted by mpm on

If you've read this blog for any length of time, you probably have picked up that the classic Christian theological concept of the trinity: Father, Son (who was an embodiment of the Father, and died, and was resurrected, etc.) and Holy Spirit is a construct of God that I find hard to embrace. In some ways, I still am pretty much a Unitarian Christian, even though I now attend a church that is part of a trinitarian denomination (UCC). And because of that, the Trinity is in my consciousness quite often.

Ack, another blog?

Submitted by mpm on

Well, since it seems I can't figure out exactly what to say on this blog, and I am happily neck deep in science fiction writing, I have a new blog, over on LiveJournal. It's only going to be about science fiction writing, and it's on LJ because there is a huge community of women and feminist science fiction writers there, so it's the place to be. Kind of ironic, I never really gave LJ much thought - even though it is, really, the grandmother of social networks & blogging, all in one.

On my way to WisCon

Submitted by mpm on

I'm quite excited - I'm on my way to WisCon, a feminist Science Fiction Convention. I'm doing a writing workshop on Friday, which I'm really excited about, then there are lots and lots of things going on until Sunday night. It's my first scifi con, which is kinda funny, since I've been a science fiction fan since I was a little kid. Somehow I missed the con circuit earlier in life. I guess perhaps because I never was the fannish sort.
