is on page 210 of 360 of Bare Alberte: I feel very sorry for the copyeditor, who, apart from two distinct dialects of Norwegian, has had to correct passages written in French, Swedish, Danish, English, German, and, fercryinoutloud, Breton.

is 66% done with The Great Shark Hunt: What ever happened to the Beat Generation? The question wouldn't mean much in Detroit or Salt Lake City, perhaps, but here it brings back a lot of memories. As recently as 1960, San Francisco was the capital of the Beat Generation, and the corner of Grant and Columbus in the section known as North Beach was the crossroads of the "beat" world.

“And the years flow past, each of them as unremarkable as the next, as unnoticed as nanoseconds, in fact, not even long enough to contain anything noticeable – centuries just barely registered as moments in space/time. Soon the millennia are passing by at a modest rate of 47 per minute, and of course all manner of things noticeable and not-so-noticeable occur along the way (though most falling into the latter category). Naturally there come periods where lying is greatly rewarded, followed by periods where lying is greatly punished (our poor unlucky editor!), along with every other conceivable and inconceivable reversal and re-reversal of standards, and…

Cool new profile pic!
Arthur wrote: "How are you enjoying the Fall issue?"Best issue ever 💕 I have theories...
I'm always so bummed because I fly through the issues so fast, then it's all over :( So this time I'm trying to limit the amount of pages I read nightly, so I dont finish it so fast. I am jumping around, too - and it helps. (That started because I had to find Andy's contribution after seeing his comment).
I think I'm enjoying this issue more because I've following the blogs much more than ever before, and I've started to appreciate HST in a different way. That might not make sense, but I havent thought of a better way to phrase it in 237 cursor blinks so it's time to move on, haha!!

I finally got a new Kindle, and my last HST sticker was it's first accessory!(I'm afraid I've jinxed any future Kindles - they might not work without some HST...)
244 views of my review so far, and I hope some have turned into sales.
HST Winter 2017Yep. Got your comments. I think I have made the corrections. working on subs for future issues. Really enjoyed the content.

Thanks for the freebie. This is spring break, so both husband and kid are home annoying the hell out of me, but I should be able to start later in the week.

Your profile picture is once again.... lovely :)
ha!! i see what you did there!!!and it was only 73 degrees out at the time of its capture. since then, it has been in the 90s. there is no photographic evidence of it, though, because i was indistinguishable from a shimmery oil slick.
'cuz i still got style
Are you, like, a model or sumthin? Will you sign my underpants?

Elves are wonderful :) and you make a lovely elf. And of course I do.... you can't post mostly naked pictures of yourself and expect a jacket to alter that visual! Although, you look nice in the coat, as well :)..... I'm very flattering today ( I don't know what's wrong with me - I think I need coffee)

It was difficult but I just pictured the guy in the picture almost naked and from there it was smooth sailings.

Your profile kind of looks like an emo elf, Arthur, quite lovely but uncharacteristic looking - from what I've surmised of you. I love the black and white though :)

LOL, I'm a stalker so I noticed this but normally responding on my wall is the way to reply (FYI) but no, I really don't think it's much of a coincidence LOL.

Okay, first things first. GR etiquette 101 - you don't respond to someone's message on your own profile -- you write your response on their profile. Otherwise, how is one to know you've responded? Secondly, if you want to gun for my position, now is the time mister! Cos next year, imma leave you in the dust :p
