John Patrick

A comic drawing of Superman with the slogan Truth, Justice, and The American Way surrounding it.

I’m old enough to remember those values. I miss them 😢
#truth #justice #TheAmericanWay

How exciting—apex predators brought back from extinction! Maybe they’ll be invited to the White House! Lunch, perhaps?

Hudson: “Tucker, did you know if you stand up on the end of this couch, you can look out the door and see all the enemy dogs passing by? Also, if you bark really, really loud, they can hear you even though they’re outside?!”
Tucker: <sigh> “I do now, Hudson.”

The Writing Support Team has been watching Severance, and now they’re wondering if they can send their Innies to the vet’s office next time.

Here we go again. 😡😢What’s the famous line about those who don’t learn from history…?

Enjoying a martini and dinner at Patrick’s in Sarasota because…of course! But it’s hard to resist the siren call of Books, Books, Books, Books across the street!

Uh…thanks?

Two Sealyham Terriers on the same chair, one looking out a window and standing too close to the other.

Hudson: “Sorry, Tucker. I know you’re just trying to take a nap in your favorite chair, but I need to look out the window.”
Tucker: “Your butt is in my face.”
Hudson: “Is that a problem?”
Tucker: <sigh>

Sealyham Terrier relaxing on a couch looking thoughtful.

Good morning! Hudson is trying to figure out how he might wrangle a second breakfast out of us. Any ideas?

A old mosaic depiction of Saint Martinian

Happy Saint Martinian the Hermit Day! Martinian lived alone on an island visited now and then by sailors who would bring him food. The faithful say it was a hard life, but…throw in a comfy bed, a library, and internet access…that’s me livin’ the dream😀🏝️

That’s fantastic! Well done 😀👍

Aw😊
Thanks, Kevin!!

It’s a mystery 😂

Huh. I had very snarkily taken a photo of the word “nope,” but when I went to attach it, the app wouldn’t let me! So, yep.

Same. Hard to pay attention and remain calm—and just looking away isn’t an option. Breathing exercises and meditation maybe? Let us know if you find something that works for you.

Absolutely loved this book! Heartbreaking, yes, but in a good way and very insightful. Great that it’s been made more accessible through the paperback release. 😀

What a review! Thank you Cheryl from Love Bytes Reviews! I’m so glad you enjoyed the book ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nooooo! I love em dashes. My editor—who is amazing—is always trying to get me to cut back on them (see what I did there?).

Movie poster for the 1994 film Little Women

30 years ago I went to the theater to see Little Women. I thought it was odd I was the only man there. Later, I realized all the other men in America were watching Super Bowl XXIX! I hadn’t even known it was Super Bowl Sunday 😳😂
Whatever the word is for being sports illiterate—that’s me.
