There is one musical about THE GREAT GATSBY now on Broadway and another not far behind. Want to talk Gatsby…or Daisy…or Myrtle…or Jordan…or Nick? I am, yes, obsessed and have been since college.

I have hope for the U.S. because most of us are appalled that Kristi Noem shot her 14-month old dog because she was incapable of training it. The exceptions are folk like Sean Hannity 🇺🇸 who give her airtime. But, thank goodness, her political career is over. #puppy

... while another Republican VP hopeful appeared on another network to argue that the violent mob ex-President Trump incited to attack Trump's vice president would most likely have spared the vice president's life if they had caught him.

On the same evening, one Republican VP hopeful went on television to claim that the dog she boasted of killing in an inhumane way wasn't literally a puppy ...

She's trying to use the fact that she murdered her family puppy and goat to try to sell books. Reprehensible.

If you’re defending killing a puppy, you’re losing

Yes, I loved C. J. Tudor's THE GATHERING. You will, too.

MEETING WITH RICHARD CARPENTER, Part 2: One more pic for the night and more to come tomorrow. Here I am with Karen's 1972 Mercedes Benz 350 SL V8 W107. Such a sleek and gorgeous vehicle. And as many of you know, my latest vanity plate is 'KAC1'.

This morning, my lovely bride, my amazing daughter, and I said good-bye to this little man. He crossed over in my wife’s arms. We loved him madly. He was an angel and now’s in Cat Heaven, where the tuna is human grade, the pillows plentiful, and time in a human’s arms is endless.

Dziekuje! Thank you! Beware the Devil’s Tines! 🍴🌛📚

BIG thanks to the 250,000 readers who’ve now devoured the short story collection, OBSESSION, which includes my tale, “Slot Machine Fever Dreams.” Honored to tag the summit with Nita Prose, Julia Clark, B.A. Paris, Alyssa “mostly updates” Cole, Minka Kent, and Kjersti Egerdahl ! Amazon Publishing

Snapping turtles (plural, look carefully) in one of our little ponds today. A few minutes earlier, it had been turtle wrestling.
