Many of you might be saying, "Ah ha, the Muse is back, the story continues." And you wouldn't be wrong.
But it's going to be by fits and starts for a bit, it won't be twenty, or more, posts in a row developing and continuing the story I began way back in June of 2020 (wow, that was a while ago). I want to take this slowly and deliberately.
I was rereading some of the old book and realized that I really missed those characters I created in Almost a Lifetime and the new characters in the prequel, part one (yes, I really need a better title).
I will say this, reading Almost a Lifetime should be first, but it doesn't have to be.
I wanted to know more about those men (and the very few women in that book) so I started writing the prequel. Which introduced a number of new characters (even a couple of women central to the story). I like these new folks and want to do them justice.
That won't happen by rushing things. Slow and steady wins the race.
In other news ...
Yup, still retired, still enjoying life.
Celebrating 47 years of wedded bliss with The Missus Herself today. Didn't have a big ceremony on that day, in fact, there was no ceremony at all.
We went to Seoul, did a bunch of paperwork in a number of offices (American and Korean) and at one point our guide through the process turned to me and said, "Oh yeah, congratulations, you're married."
"Well shoot, did I miss something?"
"No, that last paper you both signed, that was it."
I rather wish we'd had some sort of ceremony, but after 47 years, still being married to the love of my life is enough for me. (Finding someone to tolerate me that long is probably a miracle of some sort.)
We went to dinner at Longhorn Saturday night (she has a baby shower to go to today), had a nice soup, excellent steak, and of course the company was incomparable.
That and the NFL playoffs beginning ...
Sorry, it's family tradition to go into the "Playoffs? Don't be talking about ... playoffs?" shtick everytime the playoffs are mentioned.
But yeah, the playoffs are on, so I'm watching. I do loves me some football.
Congratulations on almost a half century of marriage! A long haul. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGatBFHQg8c
ReplyDeletePlayoffs? FEH! It looked like the Chargers hired the Raiders to stand in for them. Except for the number of penalties....that was about the only bright stat for San Diego...Los Angeles. A very lackluster first quarter by both teams, then the Texans came to life.
Well Sarge and Missus Sarge, Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDelete“…and many more, on channel four…”
I called an emergency meeting of the Chant du Depart Board of Directors last night. We passed a resolution increasing your story writing pay by 50% and increased your vacation days to 365 1/4 per annum, to give you more writing opportunities. Is there anything else we can do for you?
(Sorry, a new Ferrari is not in the budget for the foreseeable future)
Other than that, Mrs Lincoln, how was the play?
Hey, it’s early on Sunday, my BS program is still booting!
Cheers my friend and keep up the good work. See you tomorrow.
