Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The drive was interesting -- North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and Kentucky are places where people fly the Confederate flag unironically, AND YET we didn't see a single Trump sign. That gives me some hope.

I haven't seen any Trump signs around here, except for a couple defiant little bumperstickers. Granted, I'm in a liberal blue dot on the Virginia map, but even when I head into the rural areas where you'd think Trumpists would be, there are no signs.

Now I want to go drive around and pay attention to it, to make sure I haven't been a victim of selective vision.

I see a fair number of Trump signs. Saw a huge one hanging off an overpass.

After the free Kindle promotion my sales of Cog have flatlined. It's starting to feel like my agent submitting to editors at major publishers all over again; everybody seems to really like it but it never quite catches on. The reviews are fantastic so far.

Right now I'm trying to get it into local school libraries (of the appropriate age group) and line up reviews on blogs. Got four saying they will do reviews, but that will be awhile. That's hard too, lots of blogs that do book reviews, but most don't do any self-published.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Cops shot and killed in Baton Rouge. Jesus.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Quiet Sunday here. Soon we will go out for lunch and groceries.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

It's also a quiet Sunday here after a busy couple of days. TCG is in charge of parenting at the moment. So, I'm hiding in bed with a book.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Cops shot and killed in Baton Rouge. Jesus.

Seven wounded, three killed. Shooter at large.

Assault rifle. I betcha it's that easy to get AR-15.

I haven't heard the canard about good guys with guns stopping bad guys with guns in a while. I guess it's hard to say that when police are getting shot.

A relative on FB is angry at the ACLU for escalating the situation in Baton Rouge. I am letting that one go for the sake of family harmony.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I wonder if there might be more push behind getting assault rifles banned if police keep getting shot with them. Not that I want police or anyone to get shot.
