I read dead people. Serial greyhound adopter (🌈Lance, Poppy, Dodge, Rex, and Hunter🌈) and greyhound art collector.
Why, yes, the spider webs on my porch greyhounds were planned as Halloween decor. 🎃👻🐈⬛️🦇 That's my story and I'm sticking to it. 🤥
The Haunting, followed by Curse of the Demon! I'm in spooky heaven! 👻💀🧙♀️🧛♂️🦇🐈⬛️
Sorting through Halloween candy to make treat bags. This helps ensure leftovers consist of our favorites. Snickers, Peanut M&Ms, and Almond Joy, begone!
Here's a gift link to the NYT story on the Republican sexter running for Congress in my area. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/u...
Tennessee Race Is Rattled by a Republican’s Acknowledgment of a ‘Past Indiscretion’ (Gift Article)
State Senator Brent Taylor, the Republican nominee for a U.S. House seat, responded to a Nashville outlet’s report that he had sent “an unsolicited nude picture.”

Be still my heart! Jasper Fforde mentions #Scranton in Dark Reading Matter (Thursday Next 8)! We Scrantonians revel in any cultural mention of our downtrodden city.
Tennessee’s 9th District race rocked days before the election — Brent Taylor addresses nude photo report, calling them a “past indiscretion.” What he and opponent Justin Pearson are saying: jpeg.ly/9nNyS
Break from my usual reading fare -- an actual printed book and by an author who's still alive. Jasper Fforde is definitely a reader's writer. 📚
@jackiesalsbury.bsky.social I miss seeing Garnet lately. Hope she's doing well!
Was delighted to discover Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast series is available for free download at fadedpage.com! 📚
Thinking of my best friend on what would have been her 70th birthday. Her impact on my life is incalculable. ❤️🕯️❤️
Has someone outed me to Stephan Patsis? At least three bags of cheese puffs are squirreled away in my cupboards.
Got a real bargain on the latest addition to my greyhound library!
Before greyhounds entered my life, there was Star Trek. I bought this set at a deep discount post-Christmas when it was first issued. Due to some haste on a garbage day, I accidentally threw away all the figures. All I had left was a communicator. I've flogged myself ever since for my stupidity.
Made it to the Southern Festival of Books. Dave's shared session is first up. He even got a swag bag!
Heading to Nashvile (not a typo) soon for the state book festival. Alas, my husband didn't win the fiction book of the year award, but his nomination may help raise his profile www.sofestofbooks.org

Well, we thought the front yard resodding would happen today, but alas, they told us to be sodding patient. Harumph. We are eager to make a molehill out of this mound.
Of course I got a skeleton dog that looks very greyhoundy. In fact I got three: one for me, one for my son, and Rip the greyhound's mom. They were a bargain at $1.25 each!
My anniversary present to myself. Who says rubies are required to mark a 40th anniversary? My friend in greyhound collecting said she would have fought me for it. That confirmed I made a good choice.
A fond farewell to Rip, who was picked up by his parents this afternoon. There is no easier greyhound to dog-sit in the world! Such a good boy!
Celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary today with a nice meal out with our son. Still wondering who won the office pool on how long our marriage would last. 😜
So we had an adventure while dog-sitting Rip the other day. We didn't notice our yard service left open a gate that leads to our neighbor's yard. I was outside with Rip when I noticed he wasn't emerging from the bushes that obscure the gate. I hopped off the patio and went to check and (🧵1)
Rip offers professional consultation as my husband makes final edits to his #greyhound novel that'll be published in 2028.
Rip, our dogsitting guest, roos for your entertainment! He's singing along to a video of our Rex, who left us in March 2023. #greyhound #roo
We're dog-sitting best boy Rip for the next five days! Expect to see a video or two of him rooing over the course of his stay!
