Never a rose without a thorn, eh?Waiting on a call from the director of communications about upcoming book events. Hoping they can all be scheduled in a specific region during the same week. This stuff is never simple. Whine, whine.

How funny. I was thinking cosmic awe.I apologise, but that would turn me off. (And stars don't stink!)
If I were to use a metaphor, I would use something like what happens when a bomb explodes. To quote from AI:
This is just what happens when a star explodes, except on a much smaller scale ... and I'm sure enough people have seen the aftermath of a exploding bomb. (Remember the Boston Bombing, the London Bombing, and others?)Also, enough people have seen (or even felt the effects of) an exploding bomb, particularly if they work or worked in the military.
For a non-military metaphor, imagine what'd happen if a gas oven exploded. Here's google again: Can a gas oven explode? I agree it's less common than it used to, but it could still happen: gas leak coupled with the spark of a match, or faulty ignition that leads to the build-up of gas.
blown to shit.
I'm impressed. Bravo. It is a good read.I dunno. It grosses me out, but I'm still gonna have the giggles ten minutes from now. Gives a whole new meaning to something being blown to shit.
I've ceased whining. Communications person is going to do all the tour planning and the publisher is going to pay for it. Found out the first run of the book was 17,000 copies and as of a few weeks ago, 16,000 of them had sold. I had no idea, so that was a pleasant surprise.
Even trying to come up with something smart leaves me with responses that are ridiculously complimentary, so….any opinion on the Lions in Australia?Well, I am happy for our reunion, nevertheless!
Go back to writing longhand on Big Chief tablets?What would we do without our computers?

Pro-tip: canned peaches are better.I made peach cobbler but forgot to peel the peaches, but the cobbler turned out great. I started parboiling the peaches, but forgetful me turned the stove off, mixed up my self-rising flour, and layered into the Pyrex. I will never peel another peach.
