Today’s prompt question asks for my favorite place in our city… and I’m just reminded of all the things that this city actually lacks.
There’s no music venues. There’s no art. There’s really no culture of any kind.
And if those things did exist here, they would probably be “taxed” by setting fees so high that most people wouldn’t be able to enjoy them anyway.
What we do have here in abundance, however, is people who care about golfing. Oh, and high-priced retail stores.
Good morning and happy Monday, friends.

It was a pretty busy week and a non-stop weekend, but some cool stuff happened.
Was anyone able to see the Northern Lights? Here’s the picture I took…
Yeah, we definitely could not see them. Oh well.
I returned to the forge and continued working on my knife. My goal was to extend the handle and then start working on the blade section.
I made the handle just a smidge too fat, so I might have to take a little bit of the belly off with a grinder later.
I wasn’t really certain why I was making this — aside from the fact that it’s a learning experience — but it just occurred to me that I could put white scales on the sides and then turn it into a boline once it’s all said and done… and then I’ll have hand-forged a magickal tool.
I know it doesn’t look like much yet… but it is slowly starting to become more knife shaped!
On Friday night, Selene and I went out and got some sushi. We had such great sushi in New York… now we’ve been searching for something local that’s on the same level.
And we also had a little dessert!
It was good, but I think we can probably find better.
Over the weekend, our coven got together and made tamales. Like hundreds of tamales. Maybe even thousands.
Okay, no… not thousands. But lots. And they’re delicious. We’ll certainly be eating tamales for days.
In slightly more mundane news, I’m pleased to announce that Coke has a new Holiday Creamy Vanilla flavor and it’s absolutely delicious.
Selene and I are also trying to do a re-watch of Stranger Things before the new season drops. Let’s see if we finish in time!
Well, I have a book to get back to finishing, so just this short update for today. Stay tuned for more soon!
