Not that's been diagnosed though there's one fall when I was a kid that I wonder about.

HYE run for political office?

Ad Infinitum

Yes. I love aquariums. Been to several nice ones in my travels. Sadly, my city doesn't have one. Have to go to Toronto.

Would you rather go to a zoo or an aquarium?

I sometimes groan or gasp "Yes, yes" kind of thing but it depends. Sometimes discretion dictates restraint.

Warrant

Therion

No, but it's something I would try given the opportunity.

HYE fallen asleep in a class or meeting?

In a pinch, snakes but I like both in spite of lingering arachnophobia.

Go to a movie or go to a concert?

We had a tragedy last night. And today I am cleaning out memory boxes.

The Vancouver killings? Or something personal? Either way, vibes. The event in Vancouver was a real stunner to wake up to even over here in Ontario.

Creed

Um, it's supposed to be alphabetical so next one should start with "R"

I just wanted to announce that I am ok.

Glad to hear. I am ok, too. Cleaned the garage after lunch along with other, lesser, outdoor chores. Going for my walk soon.

Comp entry is off my radar but it goes until end of May so I am certainly not out. My current story keeps wanting more and I am now broaching the 10k limit which then brings up the question of finding a breakpoint and making it a two parter. The good news is that much of that growth is a new sex scene.

Your always welcome Bear

The wonderment continues here on the wavy plains. It's spring and birthing time.

Say hello world

Aww. Baby animals arriving.🐮

It's a balmy 47F! Even the ice has melted!

That's what it was here when I got up. Now heading into double digits Celsius (forecast is 18C).

However, that doesn’t mean I haven’t bashed out a plot outline on my I-phone

LOL. I once wrote a poem on my Droid while sitting on a beach in Mexico. It's on SS.

My wife wants to do one of the cruises to Hawaii out of California. It's like five sea days each way. I've told her that the laptop is coming. There's no other way I will be able to stay sane on a ship for that long.

Voyager, Aussie rock band with an 80s feel.

l’m currently lucky enough to be lying by the pool, not a cloud in the sky, in Gran Canaria. My only concern is whether I will have time to write a competition entry.

What, you don't have a laptop with you? 😉 I'd think a resort in the Canaries would be a great spot for writing. I've thought about taking mine along on longer cruises or resort stays.😊

Put the kettle on and make me a pot of Red Rose. Not a cup, a whole pot just for me. Not sure why, but I slept in this morning and it's left feeling a bit meh. Got yardwork to do but I need it to warm up first. Low single digits Celsius is a bit chilly even for me.

Hmm. What to add to the music mix? How about a beautiful Dutchie with a voice that can tear down mountains and move monsters to tears? Yeah, Floor Jansen again. Just did a listen through of all the studio albums of After Forever, the band that launched her career. She joined at 16, their first album came out when she was 19, and the band folded when she was 28, though they had already been idle for a couple years before that. This track comes from their penultimate album, Reimagine, and turned into a favourite on this listen through.

Haken

I am eschewing my comp entry and am back to the story I was plugging away at when the comp was announced. It's pushing 7k words so might get chopped in half but the flow doesn't really lend itself to it so I might just post it as is. There's a lot of plotty bits to it but I think I've got some nice hot sex happening, too. Woman seeks escape from her messy life at a nudist resort with a reputation for a swing scene and explores some desires and fantasies with a couple older denizens of the place.

Not seriously but I've gone offtrack while driving places before. Google Maps has helped avoid that of late, though.

Are you looking forward to some big event this year and what?

I could name several, probably. 1989 (met wife), 1993 (married wife), 1999 (had kid with wife), 2017 (kid moved out 😉).

Have you made a life decision that didn't really work out for you in the end?

Eluveitie (new album just out)

After Forever, Dutch band that ran from 1997 to 2009 and launched a few careers.

There's a kind of fresh scent that you sometimes get in the air after a shower but not sure it's something to get excited about. I assumed it could happen anywhere with any shower and I am pretty sure I've noticed it when traveling (I am rather well traveled as North Americans go).

My personality you mean? Reserved. Very much so. Not sure what question you were answering, though brussel sprouts in garlic butter sounds delish.

Bonfire outdoor or fireplace indoors?

Good morning King of the Beats. Yes, that's a typo but I am letting it stand. Fits, I think.😁

Bit grey here but I am not planning anything big outdoors. Supposed to be nicer tomorrow so maybe clean the garage and service my bike.

Couple good albums out yesterday in the world of metal. Megastars Ghost and the lesser known but arguably more interesting Swiss folk metal band Eluveite. So I am posting the latter. Singer is band member Fabienne Erni, a wonderful young woman from Switzerland who also does some interesting solo and guest work.

Nope. Me and sharp objects don't get along.

Do you have any tattoos and what?

Not sure those are really exclusive, but cuddly. Cuddly to me is more and attitude and approach than a body type. Even someone slim can cuddle.

Exercising to music or podcast?
