My publisher and I have officially parted ways.
It was an amicable split, we were never a great match.
The Whisper Garden will be back, but I have not yet decided if I want to self publish, or seek an agent and go a more traditional route.
...in New Orleans. Nobody bats an eye when some people talk to the dead–after all, they listen at least as well as most of the living...being long dead has not stopped Marie Laveau from receiving a steady stream of visitors

I can think of few ways to go more against the desires of the majority of the people he is supposed to represent.

Happy to see one of the good ones in the lead, especially from one of the few reliable sources of journalism we have left.

Occasionally people get cooler with age.
Have you ever noticed we live in a country where a 95-year-old man can walk into a mud pit in Chicago, call his band The Fuckers, and start reciting “Enter Sandman” like he’s giving a TED Talk from the afterlife?
William Shatner. Ninety-five. Riot Fest. Douglass Park. Thirty-five minutes. Spoken-word heavy metal. In the mud. With people cheering like this is normal.
It is not normal. It is magnificent.
He did “Crazy Train.” He did “Ace of Spades.” He did Metallica. Not sang them. Talked them. Like Captain Kirk got trapped in a guitar amp and decided to negotiate with Satan instead of the Klingons.
Behind him: actual musicians. Marcus Nand. Phil Soussan. Grown men who have paid rent with real notes while a nonagenarian stands there going, “What the F is heavy metal?” and somehow makes it a question worth answering.
Brian May is on the record. Tony Iommi is on the record. The album is called *What the F Is Heavy Metal?* which is the most honest title in music since someone first admitted most of it is just louder complaining.
The crowd ate it up. Of course they did. We will watch a man old enough to remember radio as furniture stand in wet dirt and dare death to tap him on the shoulder. Death probably took one look, said “I’m not dealing with this today,” and went to find someone easier.
You’re never too old to live out your dreams. That’s the line they always use. The real line is: most people quit the second it gets embarrassing. Shatner waited until embarrassing became the whole act, then sold tickets.

Dagnab new kids with their fancy new devices. Get off my lawn.
The struggle is eternal.
Due to contact with the Greeks, devices such as sundials and water clocks had spread to Roman cities.
A character from this 2nd-century BC play complains about how the spread of time-keeping devices has regimented life:

In other words, he believes people shouldn't be able to retire.
In other words, he believes in breaking contracts.
Republican New Hampshire Senate candidate John Sununu says he supports a work requirement for seniors on Medicare:
"I certainly support a work requirement for able-bodied Medicare recipients."

I’m dismayed that I just saw a thread of people debating whether Dolly Parton was liberal or conservativ
She’s about the only person I’ve never heard anything bad about. Everyone loved her, and yet there was a whole thread of people arguing why the other side couldn’t have her.

I have Canadian family, and it’s amazing to me how much the burning of the White House is a source of national pride. piped.video/Fsfz3f18NxU?is=U_CA…
I do not condone either violence or arson but it would be funny to see Trump forced out of the White House by a mob of angry Canadians.

This is a lady with ZERO regrets. 🤣

If you want to know why your electricity bills keep going up, it’s because demand goes ever higher, while the supply stays the same.
