Friday, Will's Pissed Off

We write once more from our local Starbucks. We have listened to a man hold a conference call while sitting here. As we write this a trio of moms are gabbing away over coffee. They keep glancing over here. We're not surprised [Dear god-Ed]. They look a little young. [That's because you look a little old, Knobhead-Ed]. Anyway, the blonde roast is meh. 

Fantastic back-to-back days at the gym. We find we're having to fight off the urge to go again today. Bad idea. The body needs a break. Especially at our age. We are, after all, in our 50th year. I dunno. Maybe a walk with our commie friend?

Daddy/Daughter Dance tonight. Wish us luck. 

Stroock's Books hasn't commented on the murder of two Republican politicians in New Jersey because Stroock's Books doesn't have an opinion on local crime stories. Neither of these murders happened near us. If a third GOP pol goes down, then we have something, don't we? Until then we'll wait for facts, thank you. That's journalism 101. 

In comments a reader asks about endings and sequels to the nuke series and the World War 1990 series. Are you the guy who just reviewed Battle of the Three Seas on Amazon? Please feel free to look me up on FB. As long-time reader(s) know, yes further titles are coming. Thanks for stopping by the blog. 

So we took to Twitter and demanded the software company that auto-billed us without warning refund our money. A couple of members of the WWIII writers group we belong to took up the cause. The company's response via DM and over the phone was unsatisfactory. We're not done with them. Needless to say, don't buy SODA PDF.

Via Vox Day, The Daily Mail Reports: 'Americans are refusing to work weekends and are demanding pay raises en masse - emboldened by empowering self-help videos on TikTok and time spent at home during the pandemic. The revelations, aired in a recent report by The Wall Street Journal, depict a rapidly changing corporate climate where staffers are more actively drawing a line between their work and personal lives.' Vox Day makes some great points to which we'd add that there is no reason for the right or MAGA hats to support corporate America. Know your class enemies. 

2023, 2003 and me: We were talking about this yesterday with one of our people. Exactly 20 years ago we were reading Red Storm Rising. We'd last read it twice in 1988. We can't say exactly how, but re-reading RSR again in 2003 probably helped spark our writing career. In another month or so our first magazine article will be accepted. At about the same time, we're finally going to sit down and start working on this novel idea that's been percolating in our head for about a year.
