 Last week, during Juneteenth and Father's Day, I went to see Russian group Leonid and Friends.  It was my third time seeing them live, and they were nothing if not spectacular.   We had met people who had been to 20 concerts or more.   Now THAT'S dedication, if you ask me.    Decatur, Illinois was a pleasant tiny town and I heard that the Devon Ampitheatre is also hosting Kansas, The Guess Who and Cheap Trick.   Maybe we can return so we can savor another concert ?   I honestly wouldn't mind hearing either of these bands, particularly Cheap Trick.         As for projects, the studio is still a long time coming, but in the works.   My surrogate brother loves to procrastinate, if you know him well enough by now.   BrightStar and I have begun penning 'Time Travel Trouble'.    Hannibal is up to his old tricks and it's your basic 'breach in the time/space continuum tale to set ...

 Rising up outside  Hundreds of lights A shimmer so bright  The eye it delights  Serene June night  Summer begun  The barred owls speak  Nighttime's song is sung.  6-21-22

 It's so hot, the air squiggles and waves  It's so hot, it evaporated my lemonade  It's so hot, I sweat through my shirt Too torrid, I'm about to go berserk  I complained of hail and rain I moaned about snow  I kvetched when it was 10 below  What I wouldn't do  To see those temps again Because when you have heat stroke and stress Torrid weather ain't your friend.  6-15-22

 On a muggy June night They speckle the yard in light  I long to dance with them  But I'm awestricken  A light bringer alights on my finger  Then he flies away  Where he goes, I cannot say  Yet I'm filled with glee  At this firefly paradise  Seeing golden hues in dark and shade  Stars among the grass  In the Ides of June  Bright where it was black  Summer's coming soon  Your communion with me is blessed For I head to bed now for rest.  6-13-22

Synopsis: Continuing from "Search for the Lost Crown", Stygian makes his move on the House of Hedgehog Celeritas. He has captured a being named Fallow and is continuing to use him as host.    Chapter 1—The Grid  Seeing that much power in front of him, Stygian rubbed his hosts’ paws together greedily.   Being in a body made the process of tapping into the massive Mobian power grid child’s play.    One by one, Stygian extended his tentacles and hooked in.    The power not only made him grow more massive in size, even to kaiju level, but it also disrupted the space/time continuum.    Left and right, tesseracts populated the skies, ruining their beauty.    What once resembled an idyllic landscape was becoming more dystopian by the second.      Inside House Ceritas, there were minor vibrations that only those attuned could feel.     ‘Something’s WRONG !’, Amy said, keeping calm even though in...
