Well, the writing life always has twists and turns. I was working on my Halloween-inspired story Monday night while listening to the Patriots game and realized that the story would be better served by breaking it up into chapters. Thematically, there are pretty distinct sections. It just developed as I went along ( Read more... )

Well, it continues to be fall fun around here! :)

Enloying the brilliant autumn colors and working on Halloween fic. My multichaptered story is being steadily posted but, alas, my one-shot Halloween-inspired fic won't meet the holiday deadline. Ah, well. While I would prefer to meet the dead;ine, I don't want to post anything in a rush. I enjoy ( Read more... )

Week 8: New England Patriots 27, Los Angeles Chargers 24 (4-4) (Sunday, October 31, 2021)
After last week's 50-burger, this week was a treat with a few tricks thrown in. ;)
The Patriots did make some mistakes (fumbles are killers), but also played well enough to beat a better team on the road. Special teams were really outstanding with sure kicks ( Read more... )

It's Halloween Week!!! :)

Last month my sister treated me to lunch on my birthday at an Italian restaurant I'd never been to before. We both enjoyed baked haddock, my sister ( Read more... )

Hey, it's a rare occurrence: a full moon on Halloween!
There have been full moons in recent decades but the last time it could be seen across the U.S.? 1944! Yep, Allied troops were racing toward Germany (unfortunately temporarily derailed by the Battle of the Bulge starting on December 16th) and grinding through the South Pacific (the horrendous ( Read more... )

Happy Halloween to all!

Remember my rant about It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown being yanked from broadcast TV and ending up on Apple+'s streaming service? Well, we're not the only ones unhappy with the change:

It's Halloween Week!!! :)
Yes, it's the best time of year. The colors of the trees around here are at their peak, brilliant yellows, oranges and reds, and the harvest of pumpkins and gourds are bountiful. The weather is cool and they are predicting snow showers on Friday!
My sister and I went to the apple orchard the Saturday before last and ( Read more... )

Well, I just found out yesterday that It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! won't be on broadcast TV anymore. It's moved to Apple+, a streaming service. Same for A Charlie Brown Christmas.
I don't like it. The airing of these specials gives you a communal feeling. Streaming is a niche. I don't care if they're offering it free for a few days. A ( Read more... )
