Thursday Throw Around

So we showed our bloodwork to our neighbor, who's in a position to know about these things, and he says the rest of the numbers are just fine. Okay glucose is high but that's always high and they've been telling us since we were 20 that we're in danger of type 2 diabetes. But all the other numbers are A-okay. 

It has been suggested that we take a pill to bring down our glucose, we don't want to take another pill. 

We'll try to eat better. We're thinking less cheese. A lot less.

We mowed the lawn yesterday for the first time this year. From across the street, it looks like we have nice grass. 

[So let me get this straight. You don't like the Holocaust because you're sick of people harping on it and you think it teaches Jews to be victims. But you also have nothing to say today about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising?-Ed] No, not really. I shrug Yiddishly. 

The Instalanch yesterday was decent but not stupendous. Still TNAO cracked Amazon's alternate history top 50. It's 28 as of this writing. Which is good for a book that's been out for a day. The Great Nuclear War of 1975 reached number 10 yesterday and is number 13 this morning.

Our study of The War Between the States continues. I'll be damned, the Confederate constitution outlawed the African slave trade. Also, Jeff Davis was something of a moderate in the senate on slavery and secession, and a Unionist. WTF history? WTF?

When we say we've been writing about World War 1990: The Final Storm, but that meant something completely different in 2017 for example, this would be what we're referring too.

We spent a lot of time yesterday thinking about a nuke novel short story compilation and came up with nothing. A lot of the ideas we'd like to explore we've already explored in the three published nuke works and even other novels. Anyone else remember the small Kentucky town in To Survive the Earth? We stare into the black abyss and see nothing but ourselves staring back at us. 

Time to think about something else. So today we shall dwell upon a possible nuke short story combo that takes place in the 80s and 90s (and beyond!)?

Despite everything, we're actually in good shape for another summer sneak in novel. Hmmm...maybe we should do a third alien invasion short story comp, expecting few sales, of course. Yes, this is what we shall dwell upon. Or upon that we shall dwell.
