The Park is Open!, originally uploaded by machaggis. Life has been busy. And it’s going to get busier. But in the big checklist that is our life, the Ballard Corners Park officially opened last week! Yeah! Ok, so its been open and usable all summer so its a bit of an anti-climax but 2 hours […]

A book critic’s view on Harry Potter and the death of book reading: it looks like a bad case of cultural infantilism I just spent all afternoon on the deck finishing off Midnight Tides (4/5) – an ongoing installment in the mind-bogglingly panoramic blood-and-guts-a-little-too-much epic fantasy from Steven Erikson (I had the UK version, sent […]
