Welcome to July 2023—wow—it hardly seems possible. It’s been a busy week, and unless we want a repeat of last week’s lengthy post, we need to spread the things that contributed to that busyness over a few posts. David, Cheryl, and I are starting a long weekend here in the States, so we don’t want to be here too long, either. Hopefully, we can wrestle Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt to the ground, have a refreshing beverage and move on.
“Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is ‘rock.’ Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!”
If we were having a beer, you’d have a few questions, but we might not have time for the answers.
“Good afternoon, Dan, Cheryl.”
“Good afternoon, David. Bourbon?”
“Yes, and a beer for Dan.”
“Are you OK, David? You seem a little off.”
“Well, I have some questions for Dan, but I don’t want to start him with a long explanation. You know how he goes on.”
“David.”
“Yes, Dan.”
“I’m right here.”
“I meant no offense, Dan.”
“David, that’s what people say when they are about to say something offensive.”
“I get that, Dan, but here’s the thing. I haven’t really talked to you since you returned from Iowa. It’s too much ground to cover on one Saturday, especially since I’d like to get out of here early today.”
“So much to cover, David, but I’m planning to share some of the information and photos in some upcoming blog posts.”
“Fine, I’ll wait for the movie, as it were. What have you got for me that isn’t going to be explored later?”
“You put me between a rock and a hard place, David. If I get started…”
“Oh, we know, Dan, we know. Once you get started that rock will fall on the accelerator and you’ll be off to the races and Cheryl and I will be at your mercy.”
“I’ll spare you that for today. Let’s leave those stories to another day. Let’s have a beer and a bourbon and enjoy the long holiday weekend.” “Dan, I’d love to ask you another question, but I think I’ll take your advice. Enjoy this weekend, enjoy the fourth of July and I’ll look for the stories you plan to share.”
And Happy Canada Day to our friends north of the border.
All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
