I've been coerced into adding an entry to my blog, some silliness involving "Six Interesting Things about Me" . If you're suffering from insomnia, give this sleeping pill a try... J

Good morning, all, and happy Christmas Eve. I see I have a few things to address, and I'll get to them shortly, but I want to let everyone know what's going on with me right now. Yesterday our son flew in from Colorado. He got in late, and we all stayed up reminiscing until well past the witching hour. I'm the first one up and it's quiet, so I'm taking advantage to touch base.
Today is my wife's 79th birthday, and our 50th wedding anniversary. We will shortly be awash in grandkids, in-laws, and joyous celebrations that I expect will occupy most of the day. If I get a chance to check in here, I will, but don't hold your breath. Enjoy your own festivities, and know that I'm here in spirit, and I'll be seeing you around the stacks.
Happy, merry, fantastic whichever day you celebrate! Jack

Alas, you'll have to settle for one Jackass with three gifts of dubious value. Today I offer the second, the last of "My Old Shorts" . Anything I offer after this will, perforce, have to be new. Some of you may have seen this when I was here under a different name, but if you haven't, it's a different sort of ride, seeming like one story until it becomes another. Behold,
Good morning, friends. Just a note to let those following know that another scene of my WIP has been posted. We've spent the last five scenes getting acquainted with Captain Jade and her crew of cutthroats, so I figured it was time to check in with our antagonists and see what sort of mischief they've been getting up to. Here's your passport...
I have several Christmas presents lined up for my friends here at WdC. This is the first of them, a sort of gag gift that I hope you'll enjoy. My forays into comedy are mostly limited to the occasional one-liner, but this came to me, I suspect, under the influence of sleep deprivation. Want to pass a moment with an oddly familiar crew?
