Telegram is mostly scams contacting me. YouTube is 90% scam ads. Discord, full of fake “Artists”. X, cesspool of Nazis. Social media in all forms has gone down the drain

Since I had a craving for Cheddar Bay Biscuits from Red Lobster, I invited some local friends and we all had lunch over crab, shrimp and biscuits, talking about travel, sci-fi and friendship. We had fun.

I will be in Pasadena California on June 8th to accept this award on behalf of my beautiful wife. @jennellallyn https://www.sfwa.org/2024/05/29/announcing-the-2024-kate-wilhelm-solstice-award-recipient/

If I did a Kickstarter for $500,000 to create an “Adventure game construction set” like Bards tale construction set, would it fund? Mac/pc/linux

My eye doctor made a crazy suggestion that might actually work.

Wow, those eye drops were powerful. I went to an Ophthalmologist to check out the retina injury in my left eye and they gave me sets of drops that numbed my eye, and then numbed the rest of me. I napped for several hours. Thankfully, no further treatment needed now.

All raise a sword, for the Goddess of Stories, Jennell Jaquays, as she ascends to Valhalla to share tales of bravery and mirth, forever @jennellallyn

To paraphrase Dr Seuss: Don't cry because Jennell is gone. Smile because she touched your life. I wish that one day, she may touch my life again.

Jennell update. She’s been moved back to Dallas Presbyterian hospital, Hamon Tower, for observation of her infection. She’s stable at the moment.

Jennell update: she has a fever of 103. Likely a lung infection. Medical staff are all around her. I’m keeping vigil. Send good vibes for jennell.

I fired up my Apple IIgs this morning. I really miss working on that computer. Found the source code to almost all my games and applications.
