I am. Right here. 🤓 I didn't actually pursue traditional publishing. This is fiction/humor. I am sure they would have had the same response, though: "It's not what we are looking for."

Only if the electric boots have lights that flash in red and green for Christmas, maybe a little orange for Halloween

Sublime timing as I just came in from a walk through October drizzle.

I just received a spam text that asked: “Did you enjoy your last lunch?”

Wondering if I’ve eaten my last lunch? Better pull out, “I pray the Lord my soul to keep” line tonight.

Hopefully your last lunch wasn't SPAM. 😂

Nope. I had French fries at a restaurant so I’m okay with whatever happens. 😂

Shocking! I hope it doesn’t affect your curling match later.
