Update

Posting has been light due to a busy work schedule and personal life. I expect this to be the case for another couple of weeks, but DiL is not going to shut down.

This afternoon I had the pleasure of meeting Neo-Neocon and Gerard Vanderleun for a late lunch at the Blue Moon. The moment was all too brief, but it was a rare treat to see Neo without her apple.

Dreams Into Lightning on TypePad reached the 20,000-visit mark (by SiteMeter's reckoning) with a visit from Freeport City, the Bahamas, on April 7, 2007, at 1:30pm Pacific Time. The intrepid reader at IP 24.244.139.129 clicked on my Morning Report index link, which will take you to almost a year's worth of Morning Reports.

Oh, and did I say a year? DiL at TypePad has indeed been in action almost that long.

Meanwhile, Dreams Into Lightning on Blogger is inching closer to 60,000 hits as it nears three years of operation.

Among the other sites I maintain are two tributes to my sister, Stephanie McLintock (1964-1992), featuring her poetry at Wilderness Vision and her prose at Iridescence. A more recent project - a joint venture with some of Stephanie's friends - is Stephanie Online. The contributions of Stephanie's longtime friend Georgianne Fastaia were especially valuable.

I do a little writing of my own. Two stories, The Rose of Paradise and The Zero Ring, are posted online. In a slightly lighter vein, The Queen's Courtesan is a science-fiction serial which may eventually become (gasp, groan) a novel. Also you can read my essay on The Kabbalah at the link.

For photography and other images, I have pages on Flickr and 23.

Those who dare to venture even deeper into my personal world can visit my LiveJournal (yes, shock and horror, I do keep a LiveJournal) at Translinear Light.

My father's World War II memoirs are posted at Pacific Memories. His writing is at Urban Renewal.

I've created a family history blog called The Town Down the River. (The title is a tribute to my parents' favorite poet, Edwin Arlington Robinson.) And here is a belated thank-you to Bill Ives for linking me on his two very professional-looking genealogy blogs, Sharp family in NC and Ives family history blog.
