Stephen King
The Eyes of the Dragon

(The painting in the background is a self-portrait done by my middle daughter who was a Sophomore at the time. Not bad, am I right?)
A battered copy of Stephen King’s the eyes of the Dragon is held in front of a painting of a young girl. There is a light switch with a brass plate in the background, as well. The eyes of the dragon has the title written in red, with a dragon underneath.

The House on Mango Street
#CurrentlyReading
A hand holds up the book, “The House on Mango Street“ by Sandra Cisneros. The book has a light blue cover, with a red brick house, which has the title inserted in it in a mango colored orange. There is a girl in a window as well. It looks like the book is being held in a living room of a house. A cream colored rug is on the floor. Hardwood floors are also visible, as well as a staircase in the background.

The Gales of November
@johnubacon.bsky.social

I’m trying to convince book club to meet on Lake Michigan. Or at least like… St Joe/ New Buffalo/Michigan City… Probably not ON the lake…

Has anyone worked with this company? I’m a little thrown by their name. I think their marketing department has their work cut out for them.

Ohio St and Oregon are Nos. 2 and 3 in SP+. They went a combined 25-1 against teams that weren't Indiana.

The Hoosiers went 3-0 against OSU and UO, w/ all 3 games away from Bloomington.

If Indiana beats Miami they are indisputably one of the greatest college football teams of all-time.

What?

Hey #Christmas people! 🎅🎄😅

A few years ago we made an episode, “Hallmark and Hallmark Adjacent.” It was my wife’s idea. 😂

Can you guess (or do you know) which story lines are ACTUAL Hallmark movies, vs which ones I (or she) made up?

If you have a Christmas Playlist, through these in the rotation. What are your favorite Christmas songs that maybe don’t get as much air time?

I’m finally getting around to reading this, and am SUPER excited about it. It was featured a lot in the #TheWriteWomen challenge.

Book: Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead

Author: Olga Tokarczuk

#BookSky 💙📚
A hand holding the book “Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead” by Olga Tokarczuk, in front of the window. The book cover has blue and black stripes, with some pink on the stripes. The stripes look like trees in a forest. There is a red house in the background. There are two little Christmas tree decorations on the window. There are two cars in the driveway, and snow on the ground.

Almost time for my annual joke!!! I’m so excited!!!!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!!! 🍁🦃🍽
Screenshot of a post from several years ago when we were on Twitter. It was during that time when all accounts that had jokes had to have “parody” behind their names. 😂 The text on the screenshot says, “My favorite joke at Thanksgiving is - once all the food is on the table and everyone’s ready to eat, I look at my wife and earnestly say, ‘We did it.’”
