And, I love-love-love a decent cherry pie. I'll have to go to the store tomorrow and buy one. :-)

I Wish I Had A Box - “So you want a pie?” “No, sir, I want a box. A very tasty, cherry filled box. I’m still on a diet, I swear.”

Retirement - Wood doesn’t grow on trees. Just like money!

Stranded On A Deserted Island • Part 5 - More time travel! Oh boy, if they were worried about being kept prisoner by the government before, they’ll REALLY have to worry about it now that they’ve brought an iPhone to 1976!

I am enjoying this adventure. My friend Pennie R. S. Nelson shared this on her page so I had to check it out. Thanks to you both for giving the rest of us good things to read.

Wow, Stranded On A Deserted Island is awesome. I knew exactly where you were going when you wrote that "the lieutenant twitched a little in surprise" after seeing the Iphone wake up. Great story so far Mark. Question for you though... Each week when writing this, do you have it planned or do you go with whatever comes to mind?

“I Wish I Had a Box” — wait, didn’t they used to sell these at McDonalds? 🤨

SOADI Pt5 — I was getting ready to tell you Navy ships have global sat communications when you made that part of your reveal. 🙂 Then the last line had me flashing on “Rocky Horror Picture Show” — “let’s do the time storm again!” So now you’ll have to jump to the future? No, we didn’t have a carrier disappear in the 1970s... 🤔

Oh, I had it figured out before you revealed the truth! A great story so far, can’t wait to see where it goes from here.

Great story continues. I told you a while back I thought I knew what was coming and the way it is going is close to what I thought. What I have no idea about is the monkey. Cannot wait to see what happens there.

Very cool, Mark. I had no idea where you were going. This is so clever.

Now, please pass the cherry pie before someone gets hurt.
