A Hodgepodge of Thoughts

Well, I’ve been a bad blogger! Y’all haven’t heard from me in a month. I hope you didn’t think I became incapacitated, or died. Of course, if I had died, then someone has hacked into my website and posted this blog. Maybe it’ll be better than the stuff I normally post. Who knows? Anywho, have no fear, I’m alive and well. Hopefully, this blog post will inspire me to continue every week. And not get depressed/busy and leave this unattended.

Quite a lot has happened since my last post. The NFL playoffs concluded (and the refs should have called pass interference on the Rams), the federal government reopened (although I bet somewhere in Vegas someone is taking odds that it will close again after Friday), another summit with North Korea was announced (I saw the first one on TV), and it’s gotten bitterly cold across most of North America.

Spring is more than a month away, but hopefully, you’ve been busy inside doing some cleaning. I mean, really what else are you going to do? Play on your phone or binge watch a series. Cleaning house is a good form of exercise. Speaking of exercise, in December I started walking after work. I’m up to two miles and really enjoy it.

Louisianan’s can party again today. On this day in 1763, the Treaty of Paris gave the Louisiana Colony to Spain. Of course, the young Americans would buy Louisiana from the French about forty years later.

I finished reading the Brother Cadfael series, all twenty-one books, in mid-January. I read Amy Stewart’s fourth Miss Kopp novel, Miss Kopp Just Won’t Quit. My reviews are on Goodreads, Amazon, and Bookbub. Currently, I’m doing a beta read for my critique group. My next book to read will be Kathleen O’Neil Gear and W. Michael Gear’s Moon Hunt. This wraps up their Cahokia trilogy. If you’re ever near St. Louis, cross the mighty river and visit Cahokia. It is impressive.

Until next week. I should have a good topic by then and be able to present a regular blog post. Today’s is all over the place. But hey, it shows I’m alive. Either that or someone hacked my account. I’ll let you decide which.
