I’m gonna watch movies and go to restaurants and ramble around with my wife at the county fairgrounds and eat an ice cream cake. It will be a lot of fun, and I will enjoy it. In the meantime, you can celebrate my birthday tomorrow by either grabbing TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION, or by pre-ordering THE FERMI RESOLUTION WORLDBOOK. Or both! Both is good.

One month only, and they won’t work for people who are already paid members (I will have to come up with something suitable for them*). But it’s something I can do now, and I’ve heard from other creators that it’s not a bad way to get people interested in your stuff. So knock yourself out! …Not literally, obviously.

PS: It’s only a dollar a month, anyway. I’ve debated upping the tiers, but I’ve been reluctant to do so because it’s been a dollar a month for a long time and I don’t want to lose anybody. Besides, it helps build a customer base.
*Look, if giving out presents for one’s birthday is good enough for Bilbo Baggins then it’s certainly good enough for me.

How to celebrate it:
…okay, fine, by wishing me a happy birthday. And thank you. But after that:
I’d feel bad about being so commercial about this, except that it’s my birthday, so I won’t.
Birthday, The Beatles
Yes, that’s meant to be sung. Offer up praises to what deity or higher power you follow that you did not see the little seated dance that I performed while writing the song lyrics above. Some things, once seen, may not be unseen.
Nothing planned for today, because schedules. The birthday bar visit was last Saturday, and cake tomorrow because bespoke cakes take time to make. So no worries on either front.
As to what to get me for my birthday, well, that’s easy: buy one of my books. It’s the kind of gift where we both benefit! Besides, depending on what you buy it’ll be cheaper than a card.
It’s my birthday, so I largely ate well and lazed about. Oh, and cleaned the kitchen because I didn’t want to spend the whole day lazing about. It’s weird, what becomes ‘fun’ when you get to be my age. I also got details on artwork for future products, so I even did a vague amount of work. that’s always nice.
Regular posting resumes tomorrow.

Ph’nglui mglw’nafh, Sandy Petersen…
Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn! IA! IA! IA!
All things considered, very much including the minor detail that we’re in the middle of a pandemic and there was nowhere for me to go. But my family did a video call, and there was cake, and the book cover’s finalized (you can see a lower-res version on my Patreon), so all in all: not a bad day. And fortunately I don’t feel that much different, which is nice.
