I’ve got saddle sores from the ride over the last couple of weeks have been on this book publishing journey! Printing costs are going significantly up the beginning of the year, delaying the release date until I know what I’m dealing with.

Amazon, please stop asking me if books I bought month ago met my expectations. I still have unread books I bought in 2012. Be real.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Good morning. Thinking of family members and others who fought during The Great War 1914-1918.
Remembrance Day.
Beneath the burning sky they rest,
names carried on the wind
The sun sinks low to honour them,
A fallen light for those who’ve gone.

This is an important new line being crossed. Trump isn't just pardoning the act of attempting to overthrow the government on January 6: he's pardoning *those people* for committing crimes generally. He may be creating a group of (federally) legally untouchable people.
