Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

My new air conditioner arrives this morning, so I need to clear some space around the old one for easy access. Groceries and organization, that's my morning.

Great news, Larry!

Today would have been John McGlinn's 70th birthday. He was a pain in the ass, a bit of a fraud, a constant irritation, and a dear friend. Life was never dull when working with him, and I was privileged to work on his best recording, the 1988 EMI SHOW BOAT. Take a moment to listen to something he recorded. My favorite remains "Barney O'Flynn, from John's unreleased complete recording of BABES IN TOYLAND.

Very nice tribute and song. :)

Here's my wonderful sister-in-law JoAnn with her two sons, my nephews Matt and Tim, Matt's wife and baby (I've only met her once and I cannot remember her name!), and Tim's children, Jayden and Riley. I haven't seen any of them since 2017!



Great picture, Larry!

I've got a really scratchy throat, which I am hoping against hope is not a prelude to something worse.

If it's a question about Duke III just tell everyone we've had weird problems with the company we buy postage from (I talked about that here) and that they'll all be shipped by the end of the week.

Someone on Threads, this morning, lost her mind over Morning Joe doing an extended segment on Joe Biden's age and how it is being discussed daily by both parties.

Thank goodness, this lady said, she found another newscaster who didn't mention Biden's age.

What she totally missed in all the age discussion was the repeated references to Trump's malignant narcissism and his ongoing mental incompetence.  Morning Joe was using the absence of mental acuity in all that Trump says to contrast with the arguments about steady Joe Biden's age.

Regardless of that age, and an occasional misspeak, nobody has gotten as much done in the oval office as Biden since Bill Clinton's presidency.

And another news item caught my attention:  While Kevin McCarthy has launched a baseless investigation into whether to impeach Biden over nothing he's done, it seems McCarthy's brother-in-law has perpetrated a $7.2 million scam by falsely claiming to be partly Native American in his business dealings.




F*ckin' hypocrites! >:(

I then checked the rest of my books and found the other three books. 

Nice.
