All righty.
I think it is okay to say this now.
I had been having a lot of misgivings about the New Guy, and how we had absolutely nothing in common. And how he was really sort of entrenched down there in Florida — buying yet another house. (He now owns 4 homes down there.) (And I don’t really care for Florida, at all. High heat, humidity, hurricanes… and he lives there 6 months out of the year.)
And then I had a huge problem with the difference in our ages.
About 10 days ago, he had finally told me how old he really was and I’d almost fainted. A 21-year difference between us, gang!! And I’m not a spring chicken… I’m 66. (I leave you to do the math.)
(Yes! 66 + 21 = Older Than Keith Richards!)
On the phone yesterday afternoon, I was moving into that area of saying “this isn’t working for me”. And I was planning to say it plainly when we spoke tonight.
However, this morning when we texted, we both agreed that it wasn’t going to work. Yay. No drama at all.
This is a HUGE relief to me, gang.
And now I can focus again on the things that need my attention.

Okay!
Alex S. Johnson — one of the contributors to the M. Christian tribute anthology — invited me to contribute new erotic stories to 2 anthologies he’s editing/publishing. Yay!
I only have a few weeks, though, to pull something new together (x 2) before submissions close, so I really need to focus on completing the M. Christian anthology and then send it off to my publisher.
I have one more contribution coming in for the anthology later today, and that will be it. I just need to write the Foreword.
The long short story I was editing yesterday — I love the story so much, but the more I looked at it, the more I realized it is just not a good fit for the anthology for M. Christian. So, alas, that work is done.
But I am indeed getting it all together.

All righty.
I don’t have many “here’s this’s” for today, but…
Here’s this!
This is what it looks like when you’re having a “fantastic time!” with Blixa Bargeld!!
From Teho Teardo–
And here’s this, while we’re at it! (I love this song.) Teho Teardo & Blixa Bargeld, “Still Smiling” in 2013!!
**************
And here’s this!
Bad Seed George Vjestica alerts us that he is tempted!! (And why wouldn’t he be??)
***********
And from Facebook!!
Here’s this!!
Nick Cave!! (And, as always, I couldn’t agree more!!)
However, this one comes with a warning!! (Not sure what I’m gonna think about now!! Darn it!!)
***********
And that is actually all I have for this Happy Sunday in October.
Okay.
This evening, Rasha’s mom is coming to get her and bring her to her new home!
Rasha has lived here for about a year now, while her mom tried to find a new apartment she could afford, where she could also have her cat back.
So this is a big day for Rasha!
So I’ll soon be down to 14 cats… with Kon Tiki of the Great Outdoors still preferring to remain outdoors…
Okay. Now I’m gonna finish up the laundry and then put my editing cap back on!
Enjoy your Sunday, wherever you are in the world, gang!
Thanks for visiting.
I love you guys. See ya!
*************
Let’s close with this!!
More vintage Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds!
And I’ve certainly posted this one here before, gang, but here it is again — since it highly features Nick with Blixa, having a fantastic time!
“The Weeping Song”!!! Yay!! Originally from 1990, but I was listening to it this morning on Disc 1 of Lovely Creatures: The Best of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds (2017). Such a great video!! (And song!) Enjoy, gang.
“The Weeping Song”
Go son, go down to the water
And see the women weeping there
Then go up into the mountains
The men, they are weeping too
Father, why are all the women weeping?
They are weeping for their men
Then why are all the men there weeping?
They are weeping back at them
This is a weeping song
A song in which to weep
While all the men and women sleep
This is a weeping song
But I won’t be weeping long
Father, why are all the children weeping?
They are merely crying son
O, are they merely crying, father?
Yes, true weeping is yet to come
This is a weeping song
A song in which to weep
While all the little children sleep
This is a weeping song
But I won’t be weeping long
O father, tell me, are you weeping?
Your face seems wet to touch
O then I’m so sorry, father
I never thought I hurt you so much
This is a weeping song
A song in which to weep
While we rock ourselves to sleep
This is a weeping song
But I won’t be weeping long
No, I won’t be weeping long
No, I won’t be weeping long
No, I won’t be weeping long
c – 1990 Nick Cave
