So yeah, been doing this blogging thing for nine years now, nine years as of the 22nd of March. Which, if you look at a calendar, is not today. Nope, I missed the anniversary of the founding of this here blog nine years (and six days) ago.
I was going to give you another episode of the ongoing tale of World War II, but when I called the office of my Muse, there was no answer. So I went to the Muse's office, found this...

So yeah, I'm having a bit of writer's block and, as is clear, the Muse will be of no help. Of course, she did put in a lot of overtime this past week. So...
Anyhoo, Happy Ninth Blogoversary to us, couldn't have done it without all you folks reading it.
But yes, last year's post marking this occasion was way better, I recommend it to you. It's the whole writer's block thing, ya know.
Be back Tuesday with another episode, I have some binge watching to do...
Ozark, for those who need to know. (You know who you are.)
Yes, I'm a slacker.
It's what I do...
I meant to post my anniversary as well but I got busy with other stuff and forgot. It's so simple to do, just set up a post to launch downstream and move on but I forgot to sit down and do it. It's kind of like missing the ocean when out at sea getting the annual qualification on the .45. Hard to believe.
ReplyDeleteHMS Defiant. My first .45 qualification was done exactly as you said in '73. Five rounds fired into the water from the helo deck of the DD-714.
DeleteHadn't thought of that in some time.
Same here Cap'n.
DeleteJohn - How many rounds on target?
Delete😉

DeleteI have a real contrary Muse. In the many rooms of my mind, I can never find the room she's in. On occasion, I enter the room next door and hear a snippet of something that sounds interesting - but then she moves to another room before I can hear the rest of the story.....sigh.

I have those kinda days...
DeleteAnother year plus of this effort by the authors under the belt and am the richer for it..........:) May the doldrums be short-lived and the trade winds fill the sails of your Muse soon Sarge. Tanks to all!
ReplyDeleteJust make sure Juvat gets the blown up tanks...
Delete"gets to blow up tanks..."
DeleteGeez, your muse really did skip out.
Nope, wrote it that way intentionally.
DeleteThe Birthday Badger Sends Respectful Birthday Greetings!

DeleteHappy Blogoversary Sarge! Many thanks for the free (and very tasty!) ice cream. Nylon hit the analogy I mighta tried for, so I'll just wait for the Muse to come back together with a freshening breeze.

Oh, she'll be along. Weather was nice yesterday, no doubt she headed down to the shore.
DeleteSarge,
ReplyDeleteMy compliments on the story. I have been reading for a bit over a year, and have thoroughly enjoyed the journey.
I am not a creative type, so I don't really know much about muses. However, I suspect she will reappear when you least expect it, especially if you get yourself involved in some other endeavor.
We readers will wait, as is proper.
Thank you!
DeleteA daytime airstrike on the rail lines and/or the bridge, pinning Herr Major's plucky band of survivors on this side of the river would work. So would them slipping further and further away from surrender. Either way, will be interesting to see what happens.
ReplyDeleteGo and enjoy your fish pond and yard work.
Or whatever else is on the Missus' list of things to do.
DeleteThere will be no re-crossing of the Rhine, The Amis are across in force. Monty and his lot will be across shortly after the long build-up which is Monty's way. (Not criticizing, his government was very concerned over infantry casualties.)
DeleteAs to your last, it's raining and I'm immune to honey-do lists.
DeleteDitto on the Happy Blogoversary bit, SARGE. CONGRATS!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Virgil!
DeleteHappy Blogoversary! Nine is a big number.
ReplyDeleteFeels big...
DeleteHappy Blogday, and wishing for many more.
ReplyDeleteKeep the slacker song in mind.
Hey, hey I'm a slacker,
and people say I'm slacking around,
but I'm just too busy slacking,
to get any words written down.
I think you know the tune. :)
And now that's stuck in my head...
DeleteMy plan worked perfectly. (Insert mad scientist laughter.) :)
DeleteHahaha!
DeleteHappy Anniversary and here is to many more! The InterWeb is better with your (collective) presence in it.
ReplyDeleteThanks TB!
DeleteEt blog, ergo legere! Glad to be a member of the staff and readership! Ozark is the best show still in production, Breaking Bad has the nod for best one no longer in production.
ReplyDeleteGlad to have you as part of this illustrious crew!
DeleteConcur on Ozark. BB was good, but my nod for best show no longer in production would be Hell on Wheels.
I'll have to look that one up.
DeleteIt used to be on Netflix. Now AMC has its own "Prime" service at 9 bucks a month, through Amazon Prime, which is, I think, the only place you can see it now.
DeleteA good, gritty show. Think Old West, building the railroad, post Civil War.
Happy blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteThanks BP!
