I am thoroughly adoring this series. The crew of the Ketty Jay is so broken, yet so wonderful. Each with their own secrets, hauntings and vices they somehow manage to come together in a cohesive group to get the job done. Reminiscent of Serenity and her crew (very vaguely and so, so not a copy or even really similar)… just, well. Yeah. This installment in the adventures was swashbuckling, hilarious and heartbreaking at the same time. Glimpses of things from the previous book are brought out for more viewing throwing monkey wrenches into the works with abandon. I am giving this one 5 out of 5 and am eagerly looking towards the next one! A highly recommended read for one and all.
22 minutes before they go into final launch prep… a private corporation is proving they can deliver cargo to the space station.
Coffee, bread pudding and game. Bliss.
Family game night. Nowadays it means there are just three of us. I love playing with my sons. They are clever, witty, inventive and love to live deep in the roles they create in their characters. I like to think that they learned this from their parents, but mostly, I think they picked it all up from their father. The oldest is off on his own adventure now, active duty Air Force, a young wife of his own while the youngest one prepares to go off to a radio broadcasting apprenticeship. I miss those days of all four of us around the table… I think I will miss them even more when these days with De are finally gone.
De’s send off game is set in RunePunk, a steam punk version of Savage Worlds. We are very much enjoying our little troupe consisting of a human, demon hunting knight (De’s Otto), a Ferran (rat people) inventor played by the GM and my Overwrought sifter (a person melded with machine)… it has been fun so far… lots of laughter, lots of witty banter and “oh no you didn’t”.
…gonna miss this kid.
Creepy hiker warning?… found nailed to the door of a disused barn complex along a public footpath in Suffolk.
Ghost in the machine? Bug in the works?
Kinda tickled with this one, just liked the colors of the rusted bolts and the burned carpet found in an abandoned barn, but when I downloaded the image, I find I captured a fairie, or a ghost… or a mundane bug if you will. Still kinda cool!
hehehehehe… not in my house… you’ll have to pick out the ereaders from between the paper books…
Lovely to see you again my friend!
…smiley found geocaching in Thetford Forest… made me smile then, makes me smile now… and brings to mind The Moody Blues.
I gave my first ever commencement speech to the graduating class of 2012 at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.
I think I told them everything important that I knew about going out into the world and being an artist, so I may never need to give another one.
