RIP Stan Musial — one of the all-time greatest.

This is particularly for my friends Andrew and Rick, who will appreciate the 70s funk feel of this particular tune. I love this song — in fact, I love this whole record.

I have no idea what’s actually going on in this photo, nor do I care to be informed. I choose to believe that this is an extremely happy alligator doing a happy-alligator dance.

The sudden warm twist after a week or so of arctic chill has made me realize that I’m less in touch with the orderly transition of days and months than I used to be, and much more connected to the seasons. The sudden back and forth of temperature has confused me much more than if I suddenly found out it was Tuesday and I’d thought it was Friday.

The inscription on Rene Descarte’s grave (that I just made up):

“He thought, therefore he was.
Until he wasn’t.”

Makes you think.

HAPPY HOUR IN HELL finished and off to my publishers tomorrow, then I get to start the next one. I’m really looking forward to that. It’s going to have swastikids, as well as authentic bugbears. And Amazons, too.

I am in shock to discover that I have an entire category of Facebook messages — “Other” — that have been there all along, since 2009 or whenever I joined the FaceBorg. God only knows how many there are. I just saw the first few and went cold with guilt and shame. I’ll never be able to answer them all.

But thanks for writing!

If life gives you lemons, you’re supposed to make lemonade. If life gives you Holland, I guess make hollandaise…?
