...And then let any man explain to me, if he can, how it happened that Scrooge, having his key in the lock of the door, saw in the knocker, without its undergoing any intermediate process of change—not a knocker, but MARLEY'S FACE!

So, Tiny Tim isn't actually introduced until much later in the story (heck, Bob Cratchit isn't even *named* until halfway through the book), but I made a little side scene of the two of them together after work while Scrooge is walking home.

Here's our beloved, clueless Alucard discovering Rousseau is behind the door and she *still* has no interest in playing with him.

Scrooge took his melancholy dinner in his usual melancholy tavern; and having read the newspapers, and beguiled the rest of the evening with his banker’s-book, went home...
Now, it is a fact, that there was nothing at all particular about the knocker on the door, except that it was very large.

Trying to figure out why "three" is so high on this list. Do I just count a lot here...?

The door of Scrooge’s counting-house was open that he might keep his eye upon his clerk, who in a dismal little cell beyond, a sort of tank, was copying letters. Scrooge had a very small fire, but the clerk’s fire was so very much smaller that it looked like one coal.

Marley was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it: and Scrooge’s name was good upon ’Change, for anything he chose to put his hand to. Old Marley was dead.

ALSO-- SHAMELESS PLUG TIME-- I left signed books behind in pretty much all of these stores, so if you weren't able to stop by and say hi while I was driving around, you can still duck in and grab an autographed book. Maybe. Go visit them and see. They'll definitely have something you'll want.

Watching the new @secretgalaxy.bsky.social video about Matchbox cars made me dig through the internet to find my favorite one from when I was very little. Behold, the Tyre Fryer. 🙂

Heading back to LA and have stopped at the greatest truck stop ever. Thinking of getting my whole family samurai swords for Christmas. Even my nephew. And then we can form some kind of color-themed team...

Folks, my last event for this tour is done. I have a few stock signings left as I head home but... that's it. Many, many thanks to you folks who came out tonight. It was a wonderful way to end things.
And if you're just seeing all this... hey! I have a new book out! Please check it out. 🙂

Check it out. Each of those big rolls in the above post is essentially three pages across. The printer does all of the odd numbered pages, than flips it over (the video) to print all the even pages on the other side. Doing this, it prints three books in about *20 seconds* and about 600 per roll.

Got to spend a little time this morning at @blackstonepub.bsky.social HQ and see their ridiculously cool printing floor. Probably asked far too many nerdy questions and stared in awe at too many things. It was really fantastic and I'm glad I took them up on the tour.
But now... on to Sacramento!
