- Telling the kids and dogs to “Make a hole and make it wide” so that Irish Woman could get through the dining room might not have been the smartest thing I’ve ever done as a husband.
- Saying “Baby, you got the whole stack of Marshalls” when your darling wife is singing “I Got That Bass” might not come across as a compliment, no matter how you meant it.
- I watched the trailer for the new Star Wars movie this weekend.
- Meh.
- Maybe I’m jaded, or maybe I’m just not unhooking my brain enough, but did it occur to anyone else how fantastically wrong it is to have a tramp space freighter like the Millennium Falcon taking part in a dogfight in a planet’s atmosphere.
- I made the mistake in reading some of the reaction to the trailer, and apparently there are a few people who have some heartburn about a black actor in a storm trooper uniform. Then I made the mistake of reading the comments of those who reacted to those with heartburn, then the counter-reaction, then the counter-counter-reaction, then I remembered why I pretty much left Star Trek/Star Wars/Battlestar Galactica/Firefly/Whatever fandom in the first place.
- Christmas hymns are always better in the original German.
- Girlie Bear read from the book of Isaiah in German at a special service tonight. She did better than I could have at that age.
- Note to self – Do research about the culture and history of the place you’re basing your fictional story upon before you start writing. Nothing like having to go back and rewrite everything because you weren’t even close.
- Every so often, I have one of those days where I’m not fit for human consumption. Today, the devil himself would have barred the door and called the police if I’d come knocking.

/ December 1, 2014I got your paperback copy of the book today. I am glad I downloaded and read it right away, but it’s really neat to get a copy in my hands, especially autographed. I so loved this story and in a few years, my granddaughters will as well. It made my day to hold it in my hands.
And as far as things husbands say. . . a friend of my husband was making the usual joke about liking his women like his coffee (you know where that goes) and my dear husband says “me too– ground up and in the freezer”. I laughed and laughed to the surprise of his friend (my sense of humor can be a bit dark given my line of work). Thanks again for the special surprise. You’re awesome.
