Safe travels! This has inspired a short story for me about what it may have been like to be the final one alive in the dark (a little more horrific than my usual writing fare but for whatever reason it’s embedded itself!) Thanks again and looking forward to reading other works!

You are welcome to.

it was more of the anecdotal retelling from a seaman who was there when the hatch was opened. I will certainly check out those source notes and possibly bother you again in June! lol (3)

The Long Island Motor Parkway, built by William K. Vanderbilt in 1908, was America’s very first expressway. Manhattan can be seen in the distance.

I'll be speaking this morning in Yakima, WA, at the Capitol Theater, for the annual Yakima Town Hall. My hosts last night at the lovely Freehand Cellars Winery made some excellent cookies. (Yes, that's a cookie, roughly the size of a Fig Newton. And really good!)

What a video. Good job cops.
Whether on foot or on hooves, our officers are always ready.
After someone stole a purse near West 72nd Street, our Mounted officer & his horse, Kelly, kept on her trail.
Galloping down the street & with the help of a witness, they recovered the purse & apprehended the suspect.

Today’s the day! My most personal book—the one that matters most to me—is out in paperback. A labor of love. I worried it would bring sadness, but it’s brought joy instead. It means so much to share stories of the 1960s—my late husband, and the activism and hope of that decade.

OMG. Terrifying.
Undeniable evidence that Nessie the

Oh brilliant. It's Australia but it so reminds of the film "Hot Fuzz," set in rural England, which by the way I highly recommend. A family favorite.
