The Test of Thirteen
"Bloodroot, nightshade, pond scum, a live tadpole, and fresh guano. Put into a large kettle with two quarts of fetid rainwater and heat while intoning the words: 'Filtum, rexquiet, patter, mordon, crexiphene, noxnos, carn.' Sarah Fellows curtsied to the coven and folded her hands. "Attack of Mucus."

Speaking Truth to Power
I've written a lot of reviews and critiques. Books. Movies. Employee evaluations. Employer evaluations. Submissions to a writers' group I was in. Long ago I decided that there was no point to what I call "golf-clap" reviews. A head nod, a weak smile, a smattering of polite applause. You know, the kind of response that says that everything everyone does is good, even if it isn't.

I Was First In Line For GenCon Event Registration
For those of you obsessing today over the queue for event registration for GenCon or Origins or some other big gaming convention, going beserk over the minutes that have gone by without complete satisfaction, please do remember there was a time (yes, in those distant dark years before computers were everywhere) when GenCon's pre-registration booklet was sent out by mail. Worse yet, it was bulk mail, which meant wide variability on when different people in different places would get it. Worst, your registration (with check for fees) had to be sent in by mail (don't get me started on the fiasco of fax submission).
