shoring up
I’ve been shoring up the characterizations in The Cipher, as I’ve mentioned before. On thing that I noticed, in a happy way, is that the character of Edgar and the way I wrote him reminds me of Red Reddington on…
Poking along
Today I took the dogs to the vet to get their shots and a well check. One needs to lose a pound or two, and both need to get some bones to chew the tartar off their teeth. Otherwise they…
The Jetson’s House
I have decided I want a Jetson’s house with a built in maid. Or butler. Or whatever you want to call someone who cleans so I don’t have to. I don’t mind cleaning a lot of things, but I really…
