What happened to the blog posts you were going to write and email to me? d.: Well, I was going to send them to you, but I got hung up with some technical problems.

HAPPY EARTH DAY C.: Well, today really is Earth Day, so it’s a holiday for me. I’m now a citizen of the planet Earth, so I can relax and not worry about doing…whatever it was that d.c. asked me to do. I’ll just watch the shows that my third husband (and second here on earth), the eight-time World Association of Cat-fighting and Knowledge of Ornithology cat fighting champion of the world, Tucker Tucker Two a,k.a. The Cat Fighter Formerly Known As The Tuxedo (who really needs

C.: Sure, we’ll go with that. It was also…. d.: It’s not important, C.: Okay, so yesterday was a holiday— d.: According to some. C.: And tomorrow is a holiday.

d.: Hi, Cal.E, did you do what you said you were going to do when you turned writing the blog over to me? C.: I think so, but remind me what that was. d.: You were going to begin reading all my manuscripts and make suggestions for improvements. C.: Oh, yes, that.

I don’t remem

C.: d.c., why are you so late calling me today? d.: Well, I went to the gym, and I couldn’t find a parking space close to it, so I circled around the parking lot until someone left who had a space close to the gym— C,: I see, so it was a weight-lifting day? d.: No, it was both a cardio and weightlifting day. Anyway, when I got into the gym, I decided to work out on the stair master, but there was only one left, and another guy I was in the locker room beat me to it. Of

C.: (ring) Hello? d.: Hi, Cal.E. I was trying to think of something to write about in our blog today, and I came up with a question for you. C.: What is it? d.: Well, a question is defined as an interrogative statement used to derive information, but that wasn’t what I wanted to ask you. C.: I asked you…never mind. What was your interrogative statement used to derive information from me, d.c.? d.: Well, I know that your third husband, (and second here on earth) the

C.: Well, it looks as if someone sent me a package to enjoy. The return address I my old boss in the Cat Galaxy, Meow Z. Tongue’s new address here on earth. He must be thanking my third husband, (and second here on earth) the now eight-time World Association of Cat -fighting and Knowledge or Ornithology Tucker Tucker Two, a.k.a. The Cat Fighter Formerly Known As The Tuxedo (who really needs a shorter nickname) Now Simply Known As T Because Triple T Was Already Taken (by hi

C.: Well, d.c. wanted me to write the blog today, but I need some inspiration. I’ll just turn on the radio and listen to….. And now, ladies and gentlemen, nonbinary individuals and animals of all descriptions, KEEP/KEEN Cut-N-Shoot/ Egypt Texas brings you the 138 th most popular podcaster in the northwestern corner of Southeast Texas; that’s right, y’all it’s time for the Joe Groan Show. With your host, the one and only (thank goodness) JOE GROAN!! Oh, oh, oh. Or should I s

Rest in peace, Astros' seasson 2026 C.: d.c.,why did you put that picture or a tombstone at the beginning of the blog? They haven't even played twenty games yet.. d.: and have about that many plyers, mainly starting pitchers, on the disable lisl; but don’t you remember the story behind the tombstone that I told you a few years ago? C.: Yes, the Astros were in a horrible slump, and the Houston Chronicle put that picture on the first page of the sports section. The Astros, w

The McGruder Mysteries C.: So, are you going to answer my question from yesterday? d.: I will. You have read all five of my McGruder Mysteries manuscripts, so you know how it ends. C.: But those were first drafts, and you tend to change things on your second, third, or thirty-second draft. d.: I do, but how it ends is told in the first manuscript. The rest is telling how each person got to that point and why they are important to the story. C.: Some of the characters

C.: d..c. why did you have me put a print of a painting by Vincient Van Gogh at the beginning of the blog yesterday, and then tell me to print the introduction to one of the chapters in one of your unpublished manuscripts? d.: As an inspiration, Cal.E. C.:??? d.: Well, supposedly, Van Gogh would draw what he saw in his aura before a migraine. Later, he would go back and fill in between the lines and paint a picture. I don’t know much about art, particularly modern art. Howeve

C.: d.c. just sent me an email. I don’t know if he wants me to put it in today’s blog or proofread it and give him my critique of it, because it is obviously from a manuscript he has written. I recognize the style. Well, since I don’t have anything else to say in the blog, I will just put the excerpt from d.c. scot’s manuscript for The Color Gray . The “color” gray is made up of two hues that don’t classify as colors. Gray is the combination of the black hue, which is, by de

C.: Well, d.c. is busy cleaning up his emails. He says that it may take a while, since he has some that are five years old. He asked me to write the blog by myself today, but my mind keeps wandering back to what d.c. is doing. I mean, how does one “cleanup” emails? If you use soap and water, it will ruin the computer! But, if some of those emails are five years old, they must be really dirty, but isn’t it illegal to send dirty emails? Even if it isn’t, there is a way to block

PUPPY PATTER By the engaging, talented, intelligent, beautiful, and very humble T. Puppy Katt. TPK: Well, Dad was using the computer, but said he had to rest his eyes because the glare from the computer was hurting them. I think he is doing more than just resting his eyes, though. he must be very tired, because now he is talking in a language I have trouble understanding. I think it's called "Souther English." d.: Snore…Maw manuscript wen' ta auction, an' tha winnin' bid was

T. Puppy Katt: Well, Dad is watching some kind of game on television that involves a ball. It can’t be that interesting, though, because no dogs participate in it. I tried to watch it with him, but it must have taken more than two minutes, so I stopped watching. That’s the extent of my attention span. It’s even less than that when there are no dogs or balls involved. This game at least had a ball, but no dogs! IDK what Dad sees in that. Anyway, that annoying cat who lives at

C.: Hey, d.c., your short story, MUDER OR MERCY? Got a lot of views. I’m not feeling it today, so I was wondering if you had produced any ideas for new stories. d.: As a matter of fact, I have. I’m working on a screen play now called, “Harry Potty Mouth.” It’s about an adolescent who uses profanity to get his way. C.: And that’s different from rea life how? d.: Well…I didn’t say that it was a fantasy script, but I see your point. Why don’t you try to produce some ideas? I
