Well, I'm back home. That was a fun visit.

Yeah. She's a really good match for him. And it'll be nice to finally have a sister.

Well. My brother just proposed to his girlfriend. She said yes.

I came up with an explanation (of sorts) for why Trixie is the way she is. I tried to play it for laughs, but I think it gets messed up the instant you apply any critical thought to it.
I'm wondering if it's such a good idea.

The big meal was good.
One of Mom's dogs started choking on a sweet potato. But she's better now.

Ugh. Madness. I celebrate Black Friday by staying the hell away from every store.

Can you make two separate DA accounts? One for the stuff you want your employers to see, and one for the other stuff.

Surely you’re not the first guy to put WH40K minifigs on DA?

Isn’t there a municipal law against good weather in London?
Today was a good one. Went to a tiny church with the parents. Watched a SPORTS on TV and then an episode of Mystery Science Theater. Helped Mom with making some custom tshirts.

That was AFTER my flight. I had dinner, and now we're driving to my parents' place.

Well, I'm in Chicago Midway airport now, waiting for my luggage.

Two things. 1. The epilogue for Alarm Clock is presentable. Actually, I've had it presentable since mid-September but never got around to posting the link for some reason. Not sure why. So now I need to edit those prior chapters. Naturally, I'm not doing that. Instead... 2. I started on that Ditzy & Trixie story I mentioned elsewhere. "Black Magic Mare, Roaming Queen" is the name, and you're all welcome to read what I've got so far. It's a prequel to Alarm Clock, though I guess it could stand on its own. Two points about it: (1) There isn't any plot yet, and there really isn't going to be much in the finished product. It's more of a character piece, or maybe a Seinfeld episode in the woods. (2) I already know that certain punctuation is inconsistent. It's because I'm bouncing back and forth between writing on my PC (which lets me make smart quotes and em dashes) and editing on my smartphone (which doesn't). I'm gonna make it consistent when it's time to publish for real.

I think they used to be a thing, perhaps more so in the midwest. One is featured in the movie A Christmas Story, and Sufjan Stevens mentions one in passing in his song "Prairie Fire That Wanders About" (off the album Illinois).
