I don't even have kids, and I think about this every moment of the day.

If the animal is a dog, yes, yes I did. All dogs are good.

If it's a cat, no, because I am fiercely allergic to cats. That being said, all cats are good, too.

All BattleTech is good.

Meanwhile: Now testing Belgian (Brussels style) waffle recipes. I *really* hope one or another of the neighbors gets back to me about me bringing them some to test, as if I have to eat all these myself, it'll be... well... a shame...

"Give us stories of satellites and sewists, terminals and tailors, dandies and dying stars.

Give us gossip wicked and vital, dinner parties salacious and droll, debutantes vile and intrepid.

Give us unforgivable rudeness and oppressive etiquette, scathing asides and dire gaffes."

I enjoy dogs but as a companion I'm not a dog person I'm cat people. So I always have to remind myself to PLACE THE PUPPY DOWN.

How is it that 47 is the ONLY person in the world who did not have an inkling that a war in the Middle East *checks notes* would RAISE oil prices?

And how did 47 miss that higher oil prices would benefit Russia?

Sometimes the dots just connect themselves.

I've had north of 65 novels published, with a decent chunk of them in 1st person, and a few that have mixed 1st and 3rd. Down through the years there have been folks who tell me they hate 1st person. And yet, I, Jedi, in 1st, is a universal favorite. People are weird.

I guess this confirms I have no kidsβ€”neither do I have sweat shorts of any kind...

Lots of cargo shorts, though. They come with being an uncle, right?
