Reminder, on April 21, you get a Choose Your Own Adventure book from me: DUNGEON CRAWL AT THE HAUNTED MALL! This is both my middle grade debut and my game writing debut. Explore an abandoned 80s mall at your risk, because a warlock from another dimension has taken it over!
The white flag, aka the official flag of the Confederacy
Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

Woohoo! Can't wait!
Full moon partly covered in thin clouds over a suburban neighborhood. One single story home is in the foreground with several bushes lining the edge of the yard. The photo is in black and white.
Full moon over my neighborhood.
Photo of me and my spouse taken at a friend's Marvel themed wedding a couple years ago. It was epic
I just want to have fun.
Sigh.
Here, I got you some flowers.💐

Photo taken through windshield of car with wipers in bottom of frame. The scene is a snow covered mountain road winding through a forest. It is actively snowing and the image is predominantly white.
Wishing I was here right now.

I have a similar tradition except it's working on a story! 📖😁
Spending the week alone, up in the mountains. We can all call it a vacation but we all know it's mental healthcare.
As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.
#Caturday came and went. We must've slept through it.
It's been a pretty happy holidays.
Blessed Winter Solstice.
Yet another San Diego sunset.
(Photo by me this past weekend)

Another San Diego sunset.
It's time to call our team in
It's time to win this fight
It's time to get it done now
On the Muppet Show tonight.
It's December. Yep.
Two cats on a green fuzzy blanket. The cat in the foreground is a short-haired Calico. She's white with black and brown patches. The cat in the background is a long-haired Siberian. He grey and light brown striped.
Happy Caturday!
Kitsune and Blue have been lazy all day.

Toured an old gold mine and drank some apple wine today.
I have reached an age where I'm starting to become invisible. It's absolutely fascinating and frustrating at the same time.
Anyone else?
(Tonight's Beaver Moon for tax)
With the exception of our two bathrooms, there is at least one shelf full of books. Our living room and my office could be considered small libraries by themselves.
Whenever I walk into someone's home that doesn't have books, I feel sad, like friends weren't invited to the party.

Headshot of a mostly white calico cat. The top of her head is black and brown. She has one brown patch of fur under her left eye. Her eyes are green and she has a disapproving look on her face.
It's certainly been a week. This photo of my cat says it all.
Admittedly, I'm struggling right now. I know I'll eventually see my way clear but, right now, I'm having a difficult time.
Were you the kid usually picked last for teams in school? I was. Dodgeball, Red Rover, you name it, I was usually the last one chosen. Begrudgingly chosen.
Sigh.
Pondering 53 in the last hour before 54. I honestly never thought I'd live this long.
This alternate timeline really sucks.

Did a thing. Will improve upon said thing for next time I do the thing.
Thank you. It's been a rough week, but I'm on the back side of it now.
The photo was taken in my friend's front yard in northern Illinois. I believe the plant is called Joe-Pye. Her yard is a pollinator paradise.
