Let’s Drink to That!

All righty, gang.

Apparently , as it comes time again to pay the annual fee for maintaining this lofty blog, it appears that I have now been with WordPress for 10 years.

I’m really not sure how the heck that happened. But what’s even harder to comprehend is that this lofty blog was around for 16 years before it landed here at WordPress.

At its peak (when my blog was connected to Marilyn’s Room, Inc., starting back in 1999 and going into the early 2000s, when I was a multi-media producer, an editor, and a publisher, as well as a writer) I got around 5000 readers per day.

Those years were incredibly busy years for me. Just absolutely nonstop and I don’t miss that kind of off-the-wall exhaustion, at all. But my career has been a very, very interesting journey. I don’t regret any of it.

In addition to the blog’s anniversary this year, March of 2024 will be the 25th Anniversary of my first book, Neptune & Surf, remaining in print (in English and in French)! I am incredibly happy about that.

No intel in sight, it seems.

However. There was this — sad news, from Donald J. Trump:

“This is a very sad night for the entire Trump family!!! Melania’s great and beautiful mother, Amalija, has just gone to a beautiful place in the sky. She was an incredible woman, and will be missed far beyond words!”

And then this from Real Raw News:

“JAG Arrests Mehdi Hasan

U.S. Navy JAG investigators on Sunday arrested liberal newscaster Mehdi Hasan on the charge of treason, alleging that he misused his authority at MSNBC to exacerbate the Plandemic hoax by broadcasting provably false COVID-19 and vaccine metrics to millions of gullible viewers, a Pensacola JAG source told Real Raw News.

News of the arrest coincides with MSNBC’s sudden announcement about canceling the venerable anchor’s broadcast, and his own brief statement Sunday night regarding his decision to completely divorce himself from the nation’s most corrupt network […]

[…] As reported in November, JAG opened a detainment center in Camp Blaz specifically to house Deep State-adjacent mainstream media personalities. CBS’s Stephen Colbert, charged with treason and exploitation of minors, was the institution’s inaugural prisoner. RRN has heard that Oprah Winfrey is currently housed there, too, but we’ve yet to obtain sufficient information to print an article on her predicament. […]
