Been in a cave, forty days

Only a spark to light my way…

I wanna give out, I wanna give in…

This is our fate, this is our sin…

But I still believe…

Going through old photos on my phone, and found this… to quote Lou Costello, “I’m a baaasaad boy..”

If you’re in a Frankenstein mood, these are some great suggestions.

I’ll also note you should check out “Blood in the Soil, Terror on the Wind” from @brigidsgatepress.bsky.social which features -two- Frankenstein westerns (one of which I wrote).

We came to Angel Island to watch the SF Fleet Week air show. It's kind of hilarious watching little kids get excited any time a random airplane flies overhead. Show doesn't actually start for another half hour or so…

Woo hoo! Just a few pages later, Indiana Jones punches his very first Nazi!

A couple of chapters in, and so far no Nazis have been punched. Though one was chased across a train yard, but sadly he got away before Indy could punch him. Hopefully soon!

Listening to the Beatles and building c. 1980s Warhammer scenery. If I’m having a midlife crisis, it’s a weird one… or maybe for me, an utterly predictable one…

Had a moment just now when it dawned on me that CAPTCHAs are just the Voight-Kampf test for our lamentably stupid times…
