Christmas tree. Oh Christmas tree. It’s time for blog post 93. December’s post is really just gonna be the usual, more of the same, standard writing from me. In other words, fantastically awe-inspiring. It is Amazing how time moves so quickly. It seems like just last year, we were celebrating the upcoming Xmas holidays and talking about the year to come. Here we are again.

Upcoming Celebrations

If you follow this blog regularly, you know. We are getting ready to celebrate Father Figure, Praying for Time, and Faith. That’s right. George Michael Memorial Day. It’s hard to even believe that not that long ago, people used to celebrate another historical figure on December 25^th… Sir Isaac Newton. That’s only for those who believe…in gravity.

Upcoming Fictional Greatness

I’m pleased to share that my novel has been flying… just like time. I’ve been regularly writing, editing, and scrutinizing (to almost paralyzing degree) to get my novel ready for release next year. It is coming:

He had more of a shuffle on “jog” number three. His feet barely came off the dirt. Wishing for death, he kept the pace. He was sure Erin was saying something encouraging and coachy but the hell if he could hear her over his respiratory distress.

Upcoming Cheers

Cheers! Xmas is a time to cheers to things that don’t actually exist. Santa Claus, flying reindeer, The Ghost of Christmas Future, and California champagne.

Overheard conversation:

“My wife only drinks champagne from France.”

“That’s good. All champagne comes from France.”

“That’s not true. I’m from California and we make lots of champagne.”

“No, you don’t.”

Upcoming Goodbye to 2022

I am not sad to say goodbye to 2022. While it may not have been as bad as 2020 in a historical context, it’s been an incredibly challenging year for me personally. I am happy to move on and look ahead to 2023.

Words of Wisdom

1. Cheer for the underdogs. Budweiser announced that they would send all the beer that they were not allowed to sell in Qatar to the country that wins the World Cup.

My wife asked what would happen if Qatar won?

Answer: An investigation into bribing, cheating, and corruption.

2. Support small businesses. Drink beer from small local craft breweries. Budweiser isn’t that bad as long as it’s not draft…or canned… or in a bottle.

3. Nursing Tip: From the Bottom of My Chart:

PEG, Senna, Magnesium, Enemas… these are all good things to have in your stoolbox.

*Why are outhouses not called stoolsheds?

Thanks for reading this post and for following along in the year 2022. This coming year should see Blog Post #100 happen, a pretty crazy achievement that I never would have expected when I started this literary masterpiece. I am also optimistic for the release of my first ever novel. Stay tuned. It’s now time for the ending jokes. Happy George Michael Memorial Day. Happy Holidays. Happy Reading. Enjoy.

Attending the Joan Jett show, it was a bit disconcerting to have someone behind me yelling, “C’mon! Middle of the Road!!”, “Play I’ll Stand By You!!”, “Where’s Back on the Chain Gang?”

Someone finally turned around and said it.

”Don’t Get Me Wrong, I like those songs too but… .”

My wife said she had to sweep the floor.

I said, “No, you don’t sweep the floor. You sand the floor…. You sweep the leg.
