Mid-August Mambo

August is more than half over and, consequently, so is summertime. Thank God! I actually picked up a bottle of Pumpkin 🎃 Spice coffee creamer the other day. The Spice Must Flow...

Crazy 🤪 In 💙 Love

One is very crazy when in love. ~Sigmund Freud

If anyone would know, it would be ol’ Siggy and he’s not wrong.

Is there anything crazier than being in love?

My darling wife has the ability to drive me wild in a hundred ways just as I do to her.

Frankly, it’s a wonder we’re sane.

All this love is what has kept us glued together for almost 30 years and shall continue to do for the forseeable future.

How crazy is that?

Latin Music – Mambo Music

Well, not as crazy as voting for Democrats.

Damn, people! What the natural fuck were you thinking?

Mean tweets? Seriously?

We were that close to energy independence, Middle East Peace, a booming economy and what?

Y’all just couldn’t handle having Archie Bunker in the White House.

Well now we’ve got Bozo, so I hope you’re happy.

That would make one of us.

🔥 Time Is The Fire In Which We Burn 🔥

Time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne

So, even though I’ve been too beat to write anything new, I haven’t been completely inactive. The mill needs grist, you see.

In order to spin my yarn the way I’d prefer, I need to ingest massive amounts of pertinent information.

One of the bees in my bonnet has to do with The Conclave.

How does one write an immortal cabal?

I mean, I’m not a criminal and I’m not immortal. This isn’t exactly in my wheelhouse.

One has to find inspiration to pair with the perspiration.

Sure, I’ve been watching The Sopranos and other crime dramas to get a handle on the organized crime aspect of things but the immortality is another matter.

Highlander and all the different vampire movies and shows are fine within their milieux, but they don’t really inform my vision of The Conclave. The Court of Owls is somewhat like my gaggle of villains, but it’s still not really a near match.

TBPH, I just don’t have a template to operate from. Not exactly, anyway.

I think The Conclave is a lot like the professional barnacles who inhabit national office. They just won’t go the fuck away.

Honestly, these assholes have been causing problems in D.C. since I was in elementary school and they just will not go the fuck away! Why will nobody replace these people?

The Conclave are every bit as entrenched, self-absorbed, power mad and personally vile as any of the schmucks you see parading around the halls of Congress these days.

Empire City needs a clean sweep and so does our nation’s capital.

At least I have a say about what goes down in Empire City. I wish it was that simple in D.C.

That’s another Happy Hump Day to you. I wish you health, happiness and plenty of Pumpkin 🎃 Spice.
