Family-type stuff going on. The good kind. But also the busy kind, alas.

Patching the canopy for Savage Fest tomorrow…
…There was more fire damage than I thought. Burning pine needles are no joke; I’m going to have to replace the canopy at some point. But the Gorilla Tape should prevent the worst leaks, I think. Yeah, it’s supposed to rain tomorrow. Huzzah!
Keeping an eye on the weather for Savage Fest.
There might be thundershowers. Which suggests to me that I will be grateful for the tree cover, and will likely need to do some serious patching on the fly on Saturday morning. Huzzah.
Still, be sure to stop on by!

…or buy my books here!
Still getting used to the new schedule.
Which will turn into a newer schedule, once Younger Son is done with school for the year. I don’t remember graduating high school so much earlier than the end of the school year. I wonder if this is a Maryland thing, or a ‘I went to school in the late 20th Century’ thing.

PS: You’re gonna start hearing ‘late 20th century’ or ‘late 1900s’ more and more, as the years roll on by. Enjoy! …I mean, you might as well, because it’s gonna happen anyway.
Video of the Day, It Just Keeps Getting Better edition.
I don’t know if this is real or not, but it’s still hysterical, in an I’m-going-to-Hell-for-laughing way.
As is traditional for the first of the month…
…I did nothing in particular today. Oh, sure, I grilled burgers and hotdogs out back. But nothing weighty. I’m usually rushing around with deadlines at the end of the month, so I never want to do anything and I know it.
But this month I do need to get BANSHEE BEACH under control. It’s overdue. I also need to figure out how to get the audiobook of TINSEL RAIN paid for. I had my Ko-Fi project along those lines kicked into, so I’m on the hook now. Plus I still have a couple of other things that absolutely should get done, like, this week. No more excuses, Moe. Get stuff done.
Tornado Watch!
Well, that was exciting. We didn’t get many tornados in New Jersey – and almost none at the Shore – so moving somewhere that gets more of them took some getting used to. Not that Maryland is a patch on, say, Texas or Iowa, obviously.
Anyway, we piled into the basement, and now we have all piled out of it.
This has been a less-than-productive month. (Not really)
Sort of. I have to remind myself that I published a freaking RPG game this month and did two outside festivals. Both of which I should keep in mind. You know how it is, own worst critic and so forth…
Tweet of the Day, La France Est Tombée edition.
Tweet of the Day, Chess In Russia Is Not For The Timid edition.
Don’t drink anything you didn’t open yourself at one of their tournaments, apparently. Also… ‘suspended.’
