A teacher at our boys’ school was arrested for child endangerment after coming to school drunk. That’s really messed up… but also, I’ve met the kids and I totally get it.

I got 60 out of 1000 😂
1000 Books You May Have Actually Read
120. Must read harder.
I got 126 out of 1000. Good thing so many Stephen King books were on the list!
127 out of 1000. Hmmm.
On one hand, there are obviously some gaps in my reading history.
On the other, there are a ton of books on that list I will simply never read because I’m not interested. Like, there are SOOOOO many Nicholas Sparks books and no thank you.

I mentioned before that I started exercising during the pandemic because I was out of shape and figured it was either that or die bloated on the toilet like Elvis.
That exercise consisted almost solely of running… Well, first walking briskly and wheezing like an old Buick, then running when I no longer got winded. And for the past year, I’ve been running 5K five times a week.
What I forgot to mention (I think) is my family got me an exercise bench for this past Xmas, so I added some proper exercises to my routine… And I never thought I’d the day would come, but I’m seeing some actual real-life stomach muscles now. I mean, it’s more of an ‘80s pro wrestler mono-ab than a six-pack, but I’ll take it.
Still not weighing myself, though. It’s not about a goal, it’s about a routine. The routine is the goal.

I dug out an old folder of story and script ideas from a couple of decades ago, some of which were apparently written while I was completely sauced.

For years, I’ve had a plan to get a sleeve of pulp novel covers on my left arm, continuing the loose writing theme of most of my tattoos. I wanted to start with a western pulp design with my sons’ names because they’re a couple of badass outlaws.
But tattoos aren’t cheap (anymore), so I was able to put aside some cash from my last book deal to start the sleeve. Then, I found an amazing artist, Danielle Oberosler, who not only has a shop not far from our town, but also IS A FUCKING WRITER. She wrote a book about her haunted guesthouse and used to write for Skin & Ink mag. So, kismet, right?
I booked some time and sent her some vintage western pulp magazine covers I found for inspiration and, boy fucking howdy, did she come up with and execute a fucking KILLER tattoo.
Guys… GUYS!… I love this work.
