Ahem. I would notice if you were gone for an extended period of time.

I haven’t. It’s an NSAID, and my doctor warned me off them. I’ll have to ask her about it.

ME: It’s a beautiful evening. I think I’ll go for a long walk.

MY ARTHRITIC KNEE: Think again.

It is an absolute delight!

Kills Well With Others by Deanna Raybourn

Just the pick-me-up I needed this weekend. I love these ladies so much.

Thank you for bringing them back, @deannaraybourn.bsky.social!

Happy birthday, @youngatheartpets.bsky.social!

❤️ Ozzie, Young at Heart, Class of 2024

No photos but lots of pets, just the way he likes it.

Congratulations! 🎉

Happily headed home from the groomer

DESTINY

That was pretty much my reaction too.

Yep, that’s it!

Fingers crossed! 🤞

The cover of Greeks Bearing Gifts by Ilene T. Goldman: a mysterious figure in a suit slides a business card into his jacket pocket

Down to his last penny, Jason “J.D.” Donovan makes a deal that saves his life but inadvertently puts his friends and family in danger.

Can he save them without sacrificing himself?

A horror novella in the tradition of “The Twilight Zone” and Stephen King

Yellow and white daffodils

Pink and yellow tulips amid tulips that have not bloomed yet

I’m not loving all this rain, but the flowers sure are.

Post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet.

I just discovered that he recorded a bluegrass album that I now need to track down.

Me too!

Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man) (Live) YouTube video by StyxVEVO

Stumbled on this on the YouTubes, and now I have a new favorite version of my favorite Styx song.

Come for Tommy Shaw, stay for the violin solos.

If Fiji stares at the kitchen long enough, food will appear.

Yes! An app called Reading List.

I use the free version, but there’s also a paid version with more bells and whistles.

The cover of Outlaws: A Contemporary Reimagining of Robin Hood by Ilene T. Goldman—a homeless man sleeps on a sidewalk in front of a brick wall. He is covered with a green jacket. The word OUTLAWS is spray painted on the wall like graffiti.

Today is Tax Day here in the U.S., which means it’s also OUTLAWS’s birthday.

Two years ago today, Robert Hood and his Merry Men arrived in the world. Happy Bookiversary, boys!
