Words are magical. #writing

The fact that I can sit down and in 10 minutes crank out a short #fanfic that incorporates real-life events, based on a song, ends in a kiss, and tells a fully complete V-Day story, *and* every sentence starts with the letters B E M Y V A L E N T I N E

I feel very thrilled right now. Very proud. 😁

Ok so I lost track of albums listened to. But the number is climbing steadily.

2026 Album (re) listens 8 and 9

Bead Paisley double-shot with Mud on the Tires (2003) and Time Well Wasted (2005)

I cried once, at the same one I always cry at (When I Get Where I'm Going). I sang along to almost every track. Perfect classic Brad.
~20th time through and getting better and better.

Artemis II: Nasa's mega Moon rocket arrives at launch pad Final preparations now get underway for the first crewed mission to the Moon in more than 50 years.

Despite US politics being a total clusterfuck, this is an incredible development. It will be the first time anyone under the age 54 will have been alive to see a Lunar mission. Part of the spacecraft was also built by the European Space Agency. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

2026 Album Listens 6 and 7

Joy in the Wild Unknown by Ripe (2018)

Lola was the first track I heard, and the best. Not quite my style, but glad I gave it a shot. Similar story with:

Family by Southern Avenue (2025)

Didn't save any of these tracks. Not bad, nothing caught my attention and yanked.

2026 Album Listen (compilations)

Genuine: the Alan Jackson Story

A great retrospective and fantastic sing-along.

Clint Black greatest hits and Super Hits 2

Rediscovered some old classics. A unique voice.

90s country rules.

2026 Album Listen 5

Remembering Now by Van Morrison (2025)

When the Rains Came could have been on any classic Van album and been a staple of the set for 40 years. Otherwise largely forgettable to me. He still has it, this collection of songs just didn't capture me.

2026 Album Listen 4
Play by Brad Paisley (2008)

1st re-listen, a classic to put on and just jam out to. Turf's Up is a killer track, love some sentimental country gold with Andy Griffith and Steve Wariner cameos. Not my favorite BP album, but the fact he put it out because he could is fantastic.

2026 Album Listen 3

Liberation (Deluxe Edition) by ZZ Ward (2025)

Heavy blues👍 motherhood POV is an unusual theme for the genre but woman who's hurt and now looking for what she wants in life is top-notch here. My Baby Left Me - I Have No One - Cadillac Man is a killer 3 track punch. Guitars kill!

A fun one

The Blues Summit by Devon Allman (2025)

Devon and friends deliver a solid shot of straight up blues rock. Great guests, juat wish it was a little longer. Some slow tracks are great, and the variety lets me turn on and go. Favorite new one for me: Real Love (DA and Sierra Green)

Honkin' On Bobo by Aerosmith (2004)

Thank sorting alphabetically for this one. Love the first two tracks as a pair. Dragged a little in the middle, although the Bo Diddley flavor in You Gotta Move shines. The final track is a fine blues chant that doesn't really fit the rest.

#fictalk this little tiny guy was one of the first 'inspiration strikes, gotta write it down' moments for me. The Lost Fleet series is an annual comfort read. RIP Captain Cresida.

#albumoftheday is Grayson Jenkins's great new record Country Parables. Added 6 songs to my yearly playlist already, the title track has some vintage Waylon guitar tone, Old Trails is an instant classic, Grand Slam, Scarecrow, Good Times Go, Hard Heart to Hold are all great ones. A+ new country

Decided after a blitz in August I am cutting back the crossposting to 2 chapters a week: Tuesday for "new" stories, Friday for multichapters. Want to write some today, and just had a new IzuMomo idea pop up!

Really loving the 90's Cowboys doc on Netflix. I don't remember much before about 1997 cowboys game-wise but I grew up on the Triplets and Neon Deion and the greats in their later years.

Album of the day: @allyvenable7.bsky.social Money and Power

Some absolute stone cold bangers and guitar and vox have both been taken to the next level of Ally's amazing talent. She's got it going on and #blues #bluesrock world needs to pay attention. Fav tracks: Black Cat, Brown Liquor, Do You Cry
