I have tried, and failed, to publish this video up until now. Hit publish, thought it went live. Nada. Thank you sweet readers for the gentle nudging emails wondering if I’d perhaps accidentally stapled my fingers to a wall. I am still here, quite happy lately, no thanks to any failed dieting efforts (Wheat Belly, Primal Cave Man). I’m not giving up. In truth, I’ve been stowed away at the library, trying to work without internet access. It’s the only way I truly get anything done. That said, the writing is going well… just not HERE. Sorry. So now, I offer, a video–one that ends abruptly, offering truly odd and unflattering camera angles. But I’m too busy to edit or re-shoot, and besides, who cares?

Know what is exciting though? Finally, some of my things arrive tomorrow from Texas, including my tripod and lighting equipment (which I am hoping actually works, or else I’m heading to B&H Photo… on Thursday when I begin taking the new writing class for which I’ve enrolled).

The large format beer was “all for her” because I just can not get behind beer, despite my proclivity for the name. Phil, while at the Beer soccer game, texted me a a video of the kids. To which I replied with a simple photo:

Smoking Mary tastes like you just made out with a rack of saucy baby backs. Yes, that’s a good thing.
