No New Tales To Tell

Week 40 in The Year Of Drinking Adventurously. Supposed to be Spanish Cider.

I am stymied at the fact that I couldn’t find this week’s potent potable. I tried the Fascist liquor store, I tried the beer distributor and I tried the Hateful Wegman’s. Not a whiff. Plenty of the other ciders around, which I could’ve tried but seeing as next week is cider part two, I decided to save the local/domestic offerings for then. Which leaves me high and dry. Pun intended.

I’m drinking a gimlet as I write this. Hendricks Gin, fresh squeezed lime juice and sugar cubes over ice. I’m staring at the sea. The sun is setting over my shoulders and I’m feeling mellow and relaxed. The hues of the sky are lavender and pale tangerine. There’s so much horizon in front of me that I can see the curve of the Earth. (Maybe not but let’s go with it anyway). Bottom line? Not much writing going on right now. Maybe the burning brain is finally reduced to coals. I hope I find some fuel to stoke the fire…

And I hope Lula got this one done.

Extreme irritation…

On Friday, I told you all how my comments were going to spam. Now, apparently at least in one place they aren’t even making an appearance there. As was recommended, I tried to contact Askimet to alert them of this problem, but they are “out of the office” until September 22! I’m sure you can imagine how incredibly frustrated I am.

Take that Askimet:

 So know this: I have tried, and will continue to try to comment on your posts. Please continue to check your spam and/or pending folders for my comments and set them loose if you find them. I am hoping that the “disappeared” comments that haven’t even made it to spam are just lagging in time somewhere. AND, AND if anyone has any suggestions as to a solution, I’d love your help.

Sorry and thank you all at once!

Eastbound…

I head east to Ireland on Thursday for ten days. I’m not sure how this will impact my posting. Either I will be noticeably absent or annoyingly present. Depends on what kind of trouble I find to get into. I have no idea what I’m going to do this time. The trip is completely spontaneous. But poor planning is the key to flexibility!

One nice thing about returning to a place you’ve visited before is the comfortable familiarity. “Home” base will be Galway but from there I will wander. Perhaps a couple days in Dublin. Or maybe Northern Ireland… I’ve never made it up there. We’ll see. Most of all I am looking forward to rest, to following my feet, to not having a schedule and being free to do as I please.

So maybe there will be photos, poems, fairytales and stories. Or maybe there will be nothing at all!
