  1. Dr. Norman (not a real doctor)

    Obligatory William Gibson reference for the excellent novel “Spook Country”. I’ve read it fourteen times and still find something new each time – the man does not waste a word. No, not crazy at all.

    Hurray, people in the comments can have names again (if they choose to)!

  3. Evervigilant

    Yay for names! I love the pun as he takes the offered drink.

  4. Dr. Norman (not a real doctor)

    …Just for a moment, like a mirage … ” And when I turned the headlights on,
    Just for a minute I thought I saw the both of us
    On some kinda tropical island someplace
    Walkin’ down a white sandy beach eatin’ something…”

      Nice Stan Ridgeway reference

How 'bout them spook stories now, Chuck?   Comments update: We seem to have fixed the issue of being able to add your name when leaving a comment. So you should be able to be anonymous or just leave a name when you comment.

Did they miss me?

I gotta tell you folks, when you take as long a break as we just recently did you can wonder how it’ll be to “come back to work,” as it were. I did wonder at times. Thankfully, Dawn and I seem to have managed to slip right back into our groove.  Even better, so have Chuck and Rosa. Yeah, yeah, I’m assigning life-like qualities to beings that technically don’t exist. Writers are notorious for doing this with their creations. In fact we come up with all sorts of flights of fancy… I mean, what if all we’re doing is tapping into some alternate dimension where all the people and things we’re writing about are real? And what happens if they ever get wind of that and take us to multiverse claims court for using their likenesses without permission? It’s also not uncommon for writers to do their own forms of “dimension hopping” and intrude upon the worlds they’ve conjured to discuss all sort of existential issues. Grant Morrison famously did this in Animal Man, and Stephen King did it in his Dark Tower books. But that ain’t me. I’m just gonna say it felt like Rosa and Chuck welcomed me back along with the rest of you, like they’d just been on a long and peaceful coffee break waiting for me to give a knock on the door and summon them to the stage. Whether or not you buy into that hogwash, it probably at least says something about their strength of character.
