General Information

After great delay I am now available on Facebook using my meatspace name, and also available via blog at DGT Fiction. Since I aspire to be a writer, I figured it was a good idea to write -- even if that means you don't see me at the monastery much any more. And so it goes.

Quotable Quotes (from others)

Bigger is better if smaller is "broken".
  tye, CB 26-Oct-2007 1:15EST
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
  Robert. A. Heinlein
We can do no great deeds-only small deeds with great love.
