Me and Lynn are on the road again, looking for adventure and whatever comes our way. In other words, driving to Jersey. We listened to the Christmas Carol, read by Tim Curry. Spectacular reading. And the book itself is so great. The perfect ghost story and it never gets old. Made the miles fly by.

My new axe. I’ve long lost track of how many keyboards I’ve had and used up. I really pound away on them. I like this kind — Red Dragon. Jack turned me onto them. It’s a gaming keyboard and has mechanical action in the keys so as I push into the story I can feel some resistance. Onward!

TBT -- From 2010. I was in South Jersey by the Delaware River , doing research for a story, "Glass Eels," that appeared in the anthology New Jersey Noir, edited by Joyce Carol Oates. While there, stopped off at Money to make a withdrawal.

Today, in Philadelphia, the last penny will be minted. You know you're old if you lived through a time when you could actually purchase something for one cent.

Loathe to relinquish the porch to winter, we did our due diligence and had our coffee out there this morning.

Even though I don’t usually post photos of myself online, every year for the past decade I’ve posted a photo of myself on FB the day before my birthday as a means of keeping track. Tomorrow I’ll be 70. Good lord, it’s come to this. To quote Emerson, “As we get older, the beauty steals inward.”

Lynn and I watched Ballad of a Small Player. We both liked it. Colin Farrel, Fala Chen, and Tilda Swinton. A cool and creepy story. I'd say more but I don't want to give anything away.
