Get busy Giles!! No one but you can write your stories or make your podcasts or films. You aren't mediocre if you are being you! No one else can do that. With your shield or on it!!!!

I truly enjoy that you share these. I looked at this one and even before I read the captions I knew what it was about. Our roots to this world are deep. Truly 1 picture worth thousands of words.

Predator Badlands a good popcorn movie

Cogently put and thank you. I think 'consider email to be like postcards anyone can read' should be taught to everyone.

I missed Grit City Comic Show completely. I had so looked forward to being there. But at 6AM I unloaded all con boxes from my car and rushed a very dear friend to Urgent Care ER. She is a bit better now. Maybe okay in a few days. I wouldn't undo that decision but still wish I could have been there.

I do not know any writers who trust and love their printers. It's an abusive relationship. You need them. They are 'unavailable'. Evil trolls who live in our offices.

First one I answered gently thinking it was a kid, saying I can't look at stories. Got an Odd response to that so no more correspondence from me.

Heads up, writer friends. For the second time I received a cute email from an 11 year old asking if I'd read their short story and give feedback. Story Not an attachment but a link. Be safe. Delete. Do not respond. Emails virtually identical but for boy/girl name.

I suspect you have read his The Ancient Engineers. If not, what a joy awaits you .

Getting ready for Grit City Comic Show in Tacoma Washington. Going through the con table box to find tablecloths, name banner etc. It's a one day show at the Tacoma Convention center. Very affordable and nice for families. Or, well, any comic fans

Playing cribbage on an app is just not the same. I like the physical aspect of pegging. And counting out 15-2, 15-4, etc

The rapid spread of AI is unsettling to me. My distrust of every thing I read on social media has quadrupled. 'Seeing is Believing' no longer true.

One keystroke at a time. It isn't always the words so much as getting the right words.

House of Dynamite is a scary good movie.

She wrote the book at 18. Astonishing to consider!

Almost always, giving dollars to food banks is better than donating food. They get more stuff for your dollars than you can. But do give whatever you've got!

In the 80s I lived in Hawaii. Wahiwa. The cost of living was high. The military families in base housing were using food stamps. The pay was so low they qualified by Hawaii standards. The moms worked at the PX bagging groceries for tips. Is this still true?

I am sad. MIXX 96.1, also known as KXXO will go silent in a couple days. Local Olympia rock station. Losing local radio hurts. Losing a preset in my car.

Dec.2, the Robin Hobb artifacts (I love that the items are called artifacts) will Mo longer be on display at the MoPop museum in Seattle. But lots of other cool stuff will still be there, so I urge you to visit. Science Fiction Hall of Fame! Alien Queen! Captain Kirk's chair. Jimi Hendrix!!!!!
