Coming Out

We have a nasty case of Plantar Fasciitis, which is a lot better than having a nasty case of gout, but still sucks. We wanted a gym break anyway.

It cost us $81, £65 quid to you Brits, to fill up our car yesterday. Thanks Joe. Never thought I'd miss Bill Clinton, but there it is. Back in the late 90s I thought gas was expensive in Northern Virginia when it hit $1.40 a gallon. That's 3.7 liters for you fellow English speakers across the pond with a speech impediment. 

Interesting...The IDF is conduction Operation Chariot of Fire. Says The Jerusalem Post: 'Thousands of soldiers and reservists will take part in the drill, dubbed “Chariots of Fire,” including the air force, navy and regular and reserve forces. The four-week drill will simulate a multifront and multidimensional war against Israel’s enemies in the air, at sea, on land and on the cyber front.' This is a massive drill involving every unit in the military. The Israelis are testing their operational capability we see. Wonder who the target is? The Third Israel Strikes novel will never come out.

We have the last of our people reviewing World War 1990: The Weser. He's an army guy. After beginning he started calling us Jersey-6. We probably need to write another scene, [JFC-Ed]. We'll do it today. July. The Weser comes out in July. 

Our editor is thinking about The Great Salvation of 1976. So are we. Autumn, The Great Salvation of 1976 comes out in autumn. 

We are also thinking about World War 1990: Battle of the GIUK Gap. General Alexander Lebed is going to be a major character. We have his book. Should be fun. Next spring. World War 1990: Battle of the GIUK Gap comes out next year.

Which begs the question, what are we writing this summer? And no, there's no reason why we can't do two novels at once. Nuke novel 3 will need an hour a day by July. Might work well with finishing up The Final Storm.

Oh fuck no, an Avatar 2 trailer. We were unaware that James Cameron was still doing this. Red Letter Media pegged Avatar a decade ago. We agree with everything those whacky Milwaukee film guys say. Back when we saw Avatar we thought, 'Meh, Dances with Wolves did it better.' For the record, Dances with Wolves deserves Best Picture over Goodfellas. Go see Dances with Wolves.
