Happy Saturday. David and I are performing the biannual right of temporal recovery after the baseless and basically useless time change. We’re spending the lost or recovered hour in a bar. You see, time is immutable inside a bar, so if we sit here for the lost hour, the continuum will self-correct. Well, that’s a theory David and I hold in high regard. While we correct the imbalance caused by Congress, we will also attempt to work in Linda G. Hill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “wool.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!
Linda G. Hill — Stream of Consciousness Saturday
If we were having a beer, you would be looking for signs of spring.
“Look at that, Cheryl. Didn’t I tell you? Huh? Didn’t I tell you?”
“Didn’t you tell her what, David?”
“I bet Cheryl that you would be wearing that blue buffalo plaid wool jacket. So, the first round is on the house.”
“Am I that predictable?”
“Yes.”
“I though buffalo plaid was red and black.”
“That’s the original, but any color plaid with bold black stripes is considered buffalo plaid.”
“Here you go boys. A glass of John Howell’s Bourbon, with three cherries, a snifter of seltzer and a glass of ice for the fashion predictor and a cold Modelo for the L L Bean mannequin formerly known as Dan.”
“Don’t take it so hard, Cheryl. It’s a beautiful day, I had to step into spring.”
“I know, Dan, but you usually dress on the warm side of normal.”
“Cheryl, he’s always off to one side of normal or the other—it’s not just his clothing choices.”
“This is one of my favorite jackets, but it has a limited season. If this warming trend keeps up, I’ll have to drop down to something lighter.”
“What’s the next step, Dan?”
“Wait, wait, I know. You want to go double or nothing, Cheryl?”
“Double means you get a free second round and nothing means you pay for both?”
“Well, technically, it’s Dan’s week to pay, but…”
“Whoa, whoa. If it’s my week to pay, don’t I have a say in this wager?”
“You should, but you don’t. There’s no way he’s going to guess the next outfit as you ease into spring.”
“I’d like to cut my losses at one free round.”
“Too late. But we have to figure out how to do this. I don’t trust you guys to be honest with free booze on the line.”
“One of us has to write his answer down.”
“Okay, Dan, you write down what you’ll wear next as the weather gets warmer.”
“Gimmie a napkin and a pen.”
“Here. Now, David, turn to the wall.”
“Here you go, Cheryl.”
“Alright, David. What’s he going to wear next?”
“He has a green vest with some stupid nerd logo on it. I think it has a blue wool lining. It might be reversible, although he always wears the nerdy green side out.”
“Dammit. Dan, the drinks are on me today.”
“Don’t worry, Cheryl. I always base my tip on the amount that includes the cost of the free items.”
“I appreciate that. Can I sell you some food?”
“Two orders of Teagan’s mushrooms.”















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.
