This is George. He showed up at the shop yesterday. He scared the crap out of me, then I named him. We’d kept him yesterday with some crackers in a box, and everyone who happened to see him (as well as a couple of us in the shop) said, “That’s the biggest beetle I’ve ever seen in Vegas. Ever.” At 2 and a half inches long, he became our mascot for a day.
Today, we let him out into the grass so he can continue on his little beetle adventure. Bye, George.
You know where the name comes from.

Again. But I changed my air filters, which I’m pretty sure was the problem.
But I was thinking about a couple of music posts, but connecting them with my writing. Hopefully if my brain gets herself together this week I may do a Sunday appearance.
The new job is fun. And busy. Seriously. I can barely check email at work.
I think I may have accidentally erased some comments on the WordPress blog. Sometimes my comment list fills up with spam, and things get lost in the ether, unfortunately.
I started on a new story last night, and looking back at my old project list, it’s been cooking for awhile, apparently. I just needed a title to kick it going. And the novel’s not forgotten, just being nibbled at.
Actually, seeing Kater and Jocelyn this weekend gave me a nice little kick in the writer-pants.
Also, my dumb ass watched Live Free Or Die Hard just because it was on. If that movie had a drinking game, you’d be done in the first 20 minutes. Things Get Worse.
Yeah, to bed. If I can actually get to sleep quickly. My chest has been feeling heavy all day with congestion.
