A3U:L I beta read is complete. Now the expansion and final edit has begun.

A3U:LTD is now a Flash Fiction 1^st Draft.

An anti-hero story has begun.

Stuff in the world:

More sad deaths…

In Memorium:

Mel Stottlemyre, Sr.     9/13/1941-1/13/2019

The Legendary Yankees pitching coach died after a long battle with cancer. Sad day for baseball.

Jo Andres     5/21/1954-1/7/2019

Filmmaker, artist, choreographer and Steve Buscemi’s wife. Sad day for all of the entertainment industry and especially for Steve Buscemi and their son.

SFC (R) Earl Francis     10/31/1966-1/12/2019

I saw the posts about him losing the battle with cancer on Sunday afternoon. I had the privilege of serving with Sergeant First Class (Retired) Francis in the 3^rd Infantry Division. He was a great guy, a great leader and just a fantastic human being. Sad day for everyone that knew him and all who never got the chance.

Other Stuff:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez quoted Alan Moore. I remember when quoting a comic book was considered the stuff of Nerdom. It’s a new, strange world.

Why do people watch Logan Paul? His latest stunt about “going gay for a month” is further proof that he is an abomination and needs to just go away. (If that sounds harsh, remember I am a Combat Veteran. Our filters don’t work.)

Chris Pratt is marrying Katherine Schwarzenegger. That should be interesting.

Watching AGT: Champions makes me realize that Preacher Lawson, Samuel J. Comroe and Tape Face should all have Netflix comedy specials while Vicki Barbolak needs a raunchy Sitcom called Trailer Nasty. Also, Viktor Kee is amazing. Just saying.

DJ LeMahieu is now on the Yankees. This may have stopped the Manny Machado thing, which admittedly makes me happy. Machado’s attitude sucks.

Entertainment:

Books:

In Progress:

Neil Gaiman – Norse Mythology

OJ Lowe – Wild Card

Finished:

Nothing this week. (I know, I’m slacking.)

Movies:

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Shows:

Daredevil S1 (All), S2 (All)

Jessica Jones S1 (All)

Luke Cage S1 EP1

The week ahead:

Back to A3U:L and the expansion.

Me, the couch and Netflix were friends this week. Here’s to hoping for a more productive writing week. :D
