What’s Going On?
That is a question that has caused me anxiety in varying degrees throughout my life.

All Our Writing Secrets…
It's been very cold here in Central New York. I'm talking below zero on a regular basis cold. When it's this cold there are only a few things I enjoy doing, and most of them I can't talk about here.

It was supposed to say "grueling grind of non-stop research with no fun and certainly no chasing after pretty girls or pub crawling I can assure you."
