This is not a “blog” – it’s a web journal.
Happy December?
Better be. Which included a two-meat platter. On a Tuesday. Who’d a thunk it?
On the daily sojourn into the cold, cruel world, I happened upon a car, truck, some vehicle with an engaging sticker in the window. The low, winter sun was at my back so the image washed out. But faded glory is always better than nothing.
“Have you hugged a goat today”
Which made me think about the Mirror Project as I had a submission there, years ago.
Which then made me think about pictures that show a reflection of the picture-taker, something I do quite a bit. Reminded me of a (non-blog, non-written comment by a certain Sagittarius lad), as he was commenting about these entries, “Kramer, you’re so enigmatic.”
“Huh?”
“No man, it’s not what you say, it’s what you don’t say. Enigmatic.”
Or, as a certain Gemini has noted, “or maybe you’re just a walking mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a hawaiian shirt and tevas.”
(For the record, it was a long coat and boots just back from the Golden Slipper who did, indeed repair the un-repairable.)
Reading list notes:
Take a tiny portion from Lamb, add some characters and bits from disparate favorites like the Lust Lizards of Melancholy Cove, the Island of the Sequined Love Nun, and that all-time favorite, Practical Demon Keeping, plus the holiday, and don’t miss out that author’s weird sense of humor… add zombies, break-ups, relationship trauma, a stupid angel? Yeah, it’s no wonder I don’t live in CA. I laughed out loud in more than one spot. I was surprised, too, to find certain elements so eerily familiar.

Gambling hedge fund? Maybe I didn’t read that correctly. Wry smile.
