The pirate talk was nice. It was also in Annapolis during a perfect evening, which may have been a little more important. Chesapeake piracy and a glass of cider; life was good.

‘Thirsty’ is the term the young’uns use these days, right? We would have just said ‘horny.’ Because it’s that, too. So much so that Twitter slapped on a content warning.

Dinner shall involve pirates. I shall say nothing else, except that I expect that a beer may be involved at some point. We’re playing it by ear.
So if posting is light tonight, that’s why.
I find membership congenial, and it does on occasion offer discounts on HPL Historical Society products. But I mostly like it for the sheer look of the thing. Besides: who knows? If the Great Old Ones ever do come back, perhaps membership will get me special consideration. Although I’m not whether that’ll mean just getting last, or first…
…and I have a mixed reaction to that. It’s not that I don’t want them to make a sequel to LEFT BEHIND, or even that they’re probably not making the kind of Christian Tribulation movie that I want to see. It’s that nobody’s making the kind of Christian Tribulation movie that I want to see.

That gives them two things to make fun of: Spinal Tap, and Martin Scorsese. Mixes it up a little, right?

*Three albums. Back From the Dead made it to #51 on the charts, and got a Grammy nomination for Best Comedy Album. I think they get to be called real musicians at this point; and yes, I will die on this hill.
This story is getting complicated.
Just back from the book cover dude.
I’ll have more of an idea when TINSEL RAIN is coming out by the end of the week, but the Kindle version hopefully will be ready by Balticon! Until then: pre-order store!
