Spillwords Press publishes my “Blade Runner” poem!

Spillwords Press today published my homage to Ridley Scott’s “Blade Runner” (1982)!  I love the graphic they selected to accompany it too.

You can find it right here.

Thanks, as always, to Chief Editor Dagmara K. for allowing to me to see my work appear in the pages of Spillwords Press!

Guilty as charged.

But, in my defense, let me point out that Batman is (arguably) the most capable hero in the DC pantheon because he has a contingency plan for ANYthing — even something like Superman going rogue and becoming a villain.

M’ jus’ sayin’.

Now weight just a minute …

From 159 lbs. on January 1 to 145.8 this morning.

Right — not amazing.  (And I am obviously no Chris Hemsworth.)  But it’s good for me.

I tried everything — including regularly walking five miles at a stretch.  I actually GAINED weight.  (There’s this weird, irresistible instinct that makes you EAT more, because you’re going on a long journey.  I call it “hobbit syndrome.”  Seriously!)

The ONLY way I could lose any weight was with calisthenics.  Old school.
