I'm posting chapter-by-chapter of THE MIDSUMMER WIFE, my #KingArthur #Romantasy, on Substack. Chapter 27: Ava, Ron, & Harper go on a national broadcast to tell the British people their plan to save them - which includes braving the nuclear blast zone. tinyurl.com/jpvfefey #BookSky

My spouse is a huge fan of #ChristmasMusic and plays the SiriusXM holiday station from Thanksgiving to New Years. Chipmunks & all the damn kids with no teeth songs, a feature. Why I do not travel with him this time of year.

A Christmas banana for the motmot and warmest greetings to all under our blue sky.

Merry Christmas! Michelle and I hope you have a wonderful holiday filled with light and joy.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SideProfiles - how about a Collared Bush-Robin? A lovely endemic of the highlands in Taiwan, here out in the open on a misty, rainy day.

Pretty sure after we get rid of him and have a massive CLEAN-UP in AISLE USA, that the presidency will be one of the most regulated positions in the government after SCOTUS

I would really like to see this individual dropped into a vat of measles, polio, hepatitis, whooping cough, and mucus and sealed in.

So much of Max Headroom proved prophetic

Back when we lived in Baltimore, I had a beagle who was hydrophobic. I had to walk her in the rain holding an umbrella over her. I would look up to discover all the neighbor kids watching us and laughing from their bedroom windows. This to say: I feels yur pain.

Here are my two spoilt dogs sharing a chair and a heated blanket.

Because "disruptors" have typically never done ANYTHING. They re-invent the wheel; they lie and cheat, and make shit up, and we need to stop pretending that "disruption" is a net positive, or that "disruptors" are anything but grifters
