I’ll be back next week. This week is dedicated to finishing a new novel so that I can enter it in a contest. You’ll be glad for the break, trust me.<\/p>\n

So, first, the random picture.<\/p>\n

\"guysnamedjoeresized\"<\/a>
\nI picked that one because it’s where the cursor landed when the mouse wheel spun in the gallery. But it’s a good pic, three generations of assorted spooks, sailors, and Marines. (How come they get honked if you don’t capitalize but the rest of us are cool with it?)<\/p>\n

Now, a rant: McDonalds, your new bags are too thin. They rip every time. Especially with your boxed products. I know it’s saving you money, but I’ll flip in the extra 5 cents for a bag that makes it to the car.<\/p>\n

Now, a dog picture.<\/p>\n

Finally, thank you all for coming by. I promise real content next week. <\/p>\n

I have a favor to ask of my readers: would you kindly share this blog with your friends, family, and colleagues? We hit a million views in 2014, and while the readership continues a nice growth trend, it could be a lot better. Just hit the Facebook like button, share it on your timeline, tweet the blog with a link, and tell that person at the next desk that there’s this lunatic who writes about all sorts of stuff that they might like. <\/p>\n

I appreciate your help. When we hit 2,000,000 readers I will give away something cool to a drawing from the subscribers (that’s the box on the right toward the top) who have helped promote this mess. No used sheets, probably not honey, more likely gift cards. Be a part of it. I’ll update from time to time where we’re at in the count. Thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
