A bit late, here's my #introduction:

I'm Rob, 50-something, #LGBTQ. This is purgatory layover on my flight from hell.* I enjoy music and travel.

*you'd think there would be a direct, but nooo!! 😂

So, the forecast is up to 3-5 inches (9-15 cm) in my area.

Dentist done; pick up the crown in 3 weeks. Dr put me on some hybrid prednisone.
Time to relax as the numb wears off and check the snowfall every now and then.

The latest forecast? 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) of snow tomorrow with temps falling through the day. It’s supposed to snow from morning to evening.
We haven’t even reached winter solstice yet (northern hemisphere).

Huge news: Beyond The Mark is FREE on Amazon Dec 1-5. 🎄

I write because I love the world and the characters, not the money. If you claim a free copy, spreading the word so others can too would help more than you know.

Doctor: He's got it stuck up his ass. Bring me the missile anus form.
Nurse: Here you are.
Doctor: Not the miscellaneous form. The missile anus form. They're on the top row.

I’m waiting for the total green light, but I’ve blocked off my birthday PTO in February/March. Now I need to pick a destination and start planning. Mari Grad is early this time so maybe NOLA? Back to CA, Puerto Rico or UK?

I’m back home. Bright a plate of Mac and cheese, ham, sweet potatoes and deviled eggs. It’s their fault they didn’t eat them all!! 😂

Let the weekend begin!! 😊

Question for the UK bakers: do your recipes including baking dish volume instead of or addition to stuff like “a 9x9 pan or similar size”?

Tonight’s commute was 90 minutes to go 25 miles. The icing on the cake? Having to drive back to get my laptop.

Happy Thanksgiving!! 😂

In-office day tomorrow, so time for bed. Goodnight all! 😘🫂

This new “glass” mode is killing the battery in my iPhone. There is no way to disable it. 😏🤷🏻‍♂️

Hank Williams Jr, Snoop Dogg and Sheila E are definitely the oddest match up for Monday Night Football. Guess Carrie told’em to bag sand. 😂🤣😂

I kind of like this idea.

I need to decide if I’m traveling abroad or staying in the US for my birthday. Airfare to London is still about half what I paid last year (same class, etc,)

2-1/2 days from a long weekend. Mom is going to one of my sibling’s for Thanksgiving. I’ll spend a couple of hours at my aunt’s and cousin’s place.

Both supermarkets were basically empty 4 nights before Thanksgiving and shelves were filled to the brim. I think all the reports of people not being able to afford groceries are hitting all communities. Make a Food Bank donation if you can this holiday season!

Because my 81-year old aunt wanted to, I went to see Act 2 of Wicked tonight. Once we got thru the 30 minutes of ads (and someone told the projectionist to turn off the damn lights) it’s was pretty good.

I use a free app named Reelgood (also at reelgood.com) to check which sites programs/movies are streaming on. I set up notifications and get emailed when a new site adds something I’m interested in. Some things become available on free sites like Tubi after a while.

Officially, no more pennies are being made. Heard someone say the nickel is next.
When you really think about it, ALL fiat money costs more to mint than it’s really worth.

It still feels surreal that people connected with the first book, and I'd love to give something back.

If this post hits 500 shares, I'll make the Beyond The Mark eBook free for all of December.

No catch, just a thank you for the support and a push to keep me writing.

One more in-office day this week, then one on Tuesday before the T-Day holiday and 4-1/2 day weekend. 🤞😊

I just ordered a case on Amazon for delivery tomorrow. It’s probably a knock-off. I was planning to upgrade my phone to a newer model anyway. This I will do thru my carrier.
