My first unboxing video: “Exploding Bunny Poop!”

If you know me at all, then you know I am a fierce traditionalist where Easter is concerned.  Hence my gratitude at receiving this important new product.

(Seriously, though, these are indeed the same thing as the “snaps” that we kids played with the 1980’s.)

Throwback Thursday: that one time an eclipse heralded a vampire apocalypse.

Seriously, if you’re a horror fan and you’ve somehow missed the television adaptation of Guillermo del Toro’s “The Strain” (2014-2017), then you don’t know what you’re missing.

Yes, I ran this joke two years ago.

Hey, how often do you have the opportunity to joke about an eclipse?

It was a briefclipse.

As any of my fellow Roanokers can attest, viewing conditions for the 2024 solar eclipse were not ideal.  My perseverance did pay off, however … the clouds unexpectedly parted around 3 PM, near the height of the phenomenon.

And it was pretty damned trippy to watch.

The Piker Press featured my short poem “Blue” today; you can find it right here at the link.

As always, thanks to Managing Editor Sand Pilarski for selecting my work!  🙂
