Tell me if you’ve heard this one: It’s Saturday, it’s raining, and David and I are meeting at the bar to escape the foul weather and relax. Yeah, I know, same old story. Oh well, we might as well make the best of it. I mean, we are at a bar, and Linda G. Hill gave us a Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt from her recently overheated providence in Canada.
“Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: ‘prime.’ Use it as an adjective or a verb, use it any way you’d like. Have fun!”
If we were having a beer, you’d be late, but I’d be buying.
“Here’s your Modelo Dan, I think I just saw David pulling in.”
“Thanks Cheryl. I think it’s safe to set him up with a John Howell’s special.”
“You know, Dan, I’ve been following John Howell. It seems to me that would be a cold glass of VooDoo Ranger.”
“Hey, John suggested this bourbon, he has to live with the legacy of that recommendation.”
“Gotcha. Tell David I’ll give him a few extra cherries.”
“On that note, would you be interested in a little mischief?”
“Are you talking about pulling a prank on David?”
“A harmless prank, yes. Take these and give them to him—don’t put them in his bourbon.”
“Good afternoon, Dan.”
“Hi David. You’re a little late today.”
“Have you been here long? What time did you get here?”
“Prime time.”
“Excuse me?”
“Two fifty-seven.”
“How is that prime time?”
“Two, five and seven are all prime numbers.”
“Are we in nerdland?”
“You know I wear that like a badge, David.”
“Hey, I just realized that I arrived at prime time, too.”
“No, no you didn’t.”
“Eleven after three, three, one, one—all prime numbers, right?”
“Nope. Contrary to what non-nerds think, one is not a prime number. Would you like me to explain?”
“You’d love for me to say yes, wouldn’t you, Dan. Sorry my friend, I won’t give you that pleasure. I accept your assertion that one is not a prime number. And, I see Cheryl coming with my John Howell’s Special.”
“Here you go, David.”
“Cheryl. What one earth are these?”
“Your cherries.”
“Look, I don’t know what you two are up to, but these are not cherries. I mean, unless you irradiated them. In any case, not going in my bourbon.”
“I’m sorry, David. That was my idea. I was going to ask Cheryl to put them in the glass, but I worried that you might take a drink before I could stop laughing.”
“What the heck are these? They’re hard as rocks.”
“Those are dogwood seeds. They’re from one of our Korean Dogwoods.”
“They are pretty, but can I get some actual cherries, Cheryl?”
“Here you go, David.”
“Cheers, Dan.”
“Cheers.”
“Dan, are you sure about that whole one-not-being-prime thing?”
“I am. Do you…”
“No, I don’t. I’ll google it later.”
“Google will tell you the same thing.”
“Yeah, but Google doesn’t get all excited about it and go on forever.”
“Ouch.”

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.
I normally prefer the official version, but I thought you might like a live version.
