Conservative talking heads: The new Superman movie is too woke about immigrants and is clearly an unfair critique of Trump's immigration policies. Superman was never meant to be that political.

I taught @tcboyle.com’s “Greasy Lake” to my ENGL 1102 class a few weeks ago, and showed the kids this picture. They asked if I hoped to be that cool when I was in my seventies.
I said I’d be happy if I were half that cool.

Started a new story this week: “Dragon Country,” a rural fantasy ( as opposed to urban fantasy) retelling of Robert Penn Warren’s poem of the same name.
This is the third project I’m working at the same time, something I’ve never done before.

I’m doing a thing I've never done before: working on three stories at one time. "Good Night, Sweet Prince," my hardboiled retelling of Hamlet; "A Graveyard of the Dead," a sequel to the Count Orlok, PI, story from the Nosferatu Unbound anthology, 1/2

Doctor’s Office music playing classic rock and easy listening. Not gonna lie: “Mr. Bojangles” may be the saddest song of the seventies. Followed by almost anything by Gordon Lightfoot.
