I’m so far behind, I think the Gravity’s Rainbow Deathmarch just passed me on the trail. Hey guys! As with all things of late, I blame the Golden State Warriors. See, as a Warriors fan, I’ve been conditioned to expect…

The Against the Day Deathmarch, Week 15
I’m chasing a tangled ball of yarn, I am — still a little bit behind, not quite a week’s worth. Seems like most folks who were likewise lagging have now caught up, which is kind of exciting. Infuriating, too. But…
The Against the Day Deathmarch, Week 14
After two whole weeks of being on target, I’ve fallen a bit behind. My hopes to stall some more and catch up before going live this week were dashed when two DMers showed up in an innocent little sidepost about…
The Against the Day Deathmarch, Week 13
13 weeks in now, fellow lit folks dropping all around us. Good folks. Strong folks. We march on. Like I think pretty much everyone, the Quaternions wore my marching toes down to a nub, but I liked Bradh’s take on…
The Against the Day Deathmarch, Week 12
Finally caught back up, even if I had to delay posting this week to make it across the line. I was particularly hung up on the Quaternion section from the end of last week — underlining more than usual, understanding…
The Against the Day Deathmarch, Week 11

The Against the Day Deathmarch, Week 9
Well, my head is spinning. I woke up this morning 100 pages shy of the target. That’s no good. And I can’t say I caught all the way up either. But here we are, 11:30 PST, and I’m on page…
The Against the Day Deathmarch, Week 8
Almost 2 months in (!) and on the one hand, bodies are droppin’. On the other hand, we have something like 17 or 18 folks still with us, which is certainly a record for this deep into the journey. I…
The Against the Day Deathmarch, Week 7
Welcome to Week 7 and our slick new server. Hopefully we’ll have a smoother ride from here on out. I’m about 20 pages behind right now, still enjoying the ride. On the thread, it’s clear that some folks are falling…
