Why can’t we be Franz?

Gonna make myself a superhero, gonna call myself “The Gray Ghost.”

That’s “Grey” for the BritBuds.

Nobody tell me if the name is already taken.  If it is, I don’t want to know.

I know that “Gentleman Ghost” is an obscure DC Comics supervillain, and he can keep his schtick because, seriously, look at that guy.

And then there was Dark Horse Comics’ “Ghost” from my college years; she at least had a great sense of style.

But “The Gray Ghost” is mine.  I declare it.

UPDATE –I did not know at the time that I wrote this that it was the moniker of a Confederate General!  I will have to come up with another name.



You know you’re a sci-fi/horror fan if the term “Winter Storm Blair” immediately makes you think of this person.

Two snowfalls within a week?

This feels like a normal winter.

And normalcy, my friends, was not on my 2025 bingo card.



I’m confused about how this will lower grocery prices.

 

The Piker Press publishes my photo of the Admiral David G. Farragut statue in Washington, D.C.

I’m so happy to see The Piker Press today publish my photo of the Admiral David G. Farragut statue in Washington, D.C.’s Farragut Square.  You can find the picture right here.

Farragut Square is a great place to stop and relax on a sunny day if you’re catching a train out of The District.  It’s a couple of blocks from The White House — and there are plenty of food trucks with interesting fare.  (You see, Virginians?  Long Island is NOT the only place who has those.)  DC residents can be surprisingly friendly too.

Thanks, as always, to Managing Editor Sand Pilarski for letting me be a part of the creative community of The Piker Press!

Was wondering who the hell “Susan Lilly” was.

Then I put my glasses on and saw that caller ID was just telling me “Scam Likely.”



2025’s first snow in Roanoke, Virginia

Well … it WAS snowing in Roanoke a little while ago. And it was coming down pretty hard too. Then the sun came out and it vanished completely.

Campbell Avenue at Market Square.



Future Tense.

BritBud last night:     “Happy New Year from the future!”

Me:     “Happy New Year from the shameful and sordid past!”
