Having a day... a very fragrant day.

First, a glass jar of chili oil was dropped and shattered across the kitchen floor. Second, a full bottle of caramel flavouring was dropped and splashed across the kitchen floor.
Our house smells like the holidays and travel.

Well... it appears as though I have just finished my next book.
This one is quite a departure as it's sort of a horror / mythology novel. A bit different from my young reader fantasy books ;-).

Fingers crossed that I will get this thing available for the public this year. Whew!

Why does the world feel so half-empty today?
Yeah.

It was beautiful from beginning to end. Thrilling and magical.

OMG. K-Pop Demon Hunters is one of the best movies I have seen this year.
@netflix.com has done it again.

I love car play 🎉❤️

Heath Buckmaster @tarheelheath.com · Sep 17

I just installed it. I hear car play is vastly improved. Glass is mixed so far. Still exploring settings.

A heavily tattoo’d guy (with his wife) smiled at me today and said hi (at the county fair) and for a moment I forgot that this was in the south where that’s perfectly normal. 🥰

Apparently I always wear the same jacket when I get to meet @paulapoundstone.bsky.social
She is the one with the fashion sense in our relationship.
