Fun Day…
Great News Is Always Fun… Especially after all the problems these last two years. When things have been bumpy, you really enjoy the good stuff when it happens. So after Kris got done with her webinar this afternoon, and we got the cleaners out of our condo, we headed off to Crossroads Restaurant in Resorts World to celebrate the good news, just the two of us. Fine dining with cloth tablecloths and more service than should be allowed. Stunningly wonderful-tasting food. Just perfect. And nope, good news stays with us and close friends. Sorry. Just trust me, it was stunning news and worth a great meal. (grin) And then we…

Behind on a Couple of Workshops…
And Some Reading… Will get it all finished up tomorrow. Why am I late? Today was a second Aces game in the semifinals. We lost the first one ugly on Sunday, but then just ran over Indiana tonight in the second game to tie the five game series. Kris and I love going to these games and have season tickets. So cool to see all the young kids there cheering on their team. We left at 3:45 and had dinner with friends ahead, then made it into the game in Mandalay Bay Arena at six or so. Got home around 10 and I took a nap and we watched some…

Another Quick Update…
Got the Data Off the Old Computer… But still not set up on email yet to recover all that. With luck, tomorrow will be that. Even found my password book, which is helping a ton on different things. Computer experts did a great job with the recovery considering that my username was totally nuked and gone. And I am growing used to this new smaller iMac. Biggest stupid problem is only two ports. So I think up next for me is a MacMini or the next step up with two huge screens. But this will serve for a time.

Quick Update On The Computer Issues…
Got a Brand New IMac… They made them smaller at 24 inches, but I have a 27 inch second screen now that is working great. My old computer is in with the experts exporting all the data onto a 2 terabyte hard drive I just bought. Once I get the data off it I need, I will use the new drive as another back-up to this computer. EMail is still an issue. Nothing has been lost because I am in GMail and also have it all on my phone, but being able to answer normally is not up and running yet due to password problems. Please give me a couple…

Took Time To Watch An Ace’s Game…
Had a Bunch of Stuff to Record… But the Aces starting into the second half of the season are seeming to finally get it together. Stunningly talented team with the best player in the entire league, just had trouble the first half of the season. But now they seem to be back in championship form. We have season tickets and the crowd is always full and great fun. Sometimes a person needs to just get away from thinking about writing and publishing and go have fun. Half the season to go plus playoffs. This will be a lot of great fun and escape.

Nifty Book Trailer
For the Novella Weather Duty… Kris did this tonight for her novella that is part of the Four Novella Kickstarter campaign. Check it out at Four Science Fiction. I love this new world where we can do these level of trailers and promotions. Take a look. Great fun.

THE UNUSUAL HEROES STORYBUNDLE…
THE UNUSUAL HEROES BUNDLE The Unusual Heroes Bundle – Curated and Introduction by Kristine Kathryn Rusch (This is her introduction…) The best heroes are unexpected. In life and art, it’s often the unassuming quiet person in the corner—not the square-jawed alpha male—who usually comes to the rescue. If you look, you’ll find a lot of unexpected heroes in the world around you. But fiction takes unexpected from that unassuming mousey person in the corner to an actual mouse. Who goes on adventures of his own. Or an actual square-jawed hero who got demoted and spends his life saving kittens. Or a menopausal demon hunter with one more fight left in her.…

Broadway Play Tonight
I Hate Romeo and Juliet… Hate it with a passion brought on by too many years of having to deal with it and the pure stupidity of the plot. So when the show & JULIET came up on our Broadway season tickets, I was not excited, to say the least. But Kris said a number of times this was one she had been looking forward to, so I trusted her. She was the one who tricked me into going to see COME FROM AWAY and that is my third all-time musical and not a chance would I have seen it if I had known what it was about. My first…

A Fun Day!
Off To The Old Ball Game… Basketball, actually. Aces. I managed to crawl out of bed and get ready just in time for us to head out to first get yummy pizza before the game. (Pizza for breakfast just ain’t something I am going to complain about. (grin)) Game was fun, even though we lost. Frustrating, but worth watching. And good friends there. And watching the little kids play a game at halftime was so, so much fun. Made my heart feel good to watch the girls and boys battle it out. And one of them actually made a shot. The entire place cheered. Then Kris and I headed for…

Fun Writing Project!
This Will Start in the New Poker Boy Kickstarter… It has been decades or more since I Turckerized anyone. Tuckerization was mostly started when Wilson “Bob” Tucker would put his friends and other writer’s names into his stories and books as a joke or as a shout out to them. He did it so often, it became known by his name. (Bob was a very friendly guy and I was lucky enough to spend time with him in the early 1990s.) In this modern world, you never do that without asking the permission of the person being Tuckerized. For example, in one Star Trek book Kris and I wrote, we…
