I scored 29 but feel I could have done even better if I knew what Red Eye Gravy, Brunswick stew, Polk Salad, and Hoppin' John were. Anyway, I'm moving to Savannah. Today's Yes/No... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1531629506087292928 I mean...how much meat are on those things?  I usually just trim them off to make wing-eating easier.  You? https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1531682014419730438 For…

Awwww,  man.  I'm at the "gaming challenge" portion of the outline and coming up with puzzles is NOT my forte.  I spent the morning reviewing some of the classics: timed doors, water levels, moving blocks, reflecting sunlight with strategically placed mirrors, and, of course, searching the room for the hidden password or combination.  After much…

It's flower-viewing season! Ice cream break! And winding down after an exhausting day...  

Yozo!  How goes your weekend?  What's new and exciting on your end? Did a little writing today, completing the first of two outlines I'm looking to deliver beginning of next week.  Did a little (slow going) reading.    Packed Suji into her stroller and took a walk down to the park for a dog-related event.…

Any item of clothing can become weapon...in the right hands! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sXrvvITaojM Akemi checking in with Alexa on her "broccoli" and "water" timers... Today's Yes/No... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1530163946669461505 Be honest.  Does this t-shirt make me look nerdy?

Identify the following ships... *** SCORE = /80 How'd you do?

Well damn.  We walked by the new takeout place in our neighborhood, Kevin Shwarma (so-named because our neighbor, Kevin, tipped us of to its existence) only to discover it opens for lunch at 1:00 p.m.  I mean, come on!  What kind of foolery is this?  Why even bother opening for lunch if you're not going…

Alas, no Baron's Book Club Blab Blog today as I've been distracted by writerly things and, thus, haven't had the opportunity to read a single book.  Hopefully, that will change soon-ish, but I'm almost halfway through breaking two scripts that should have my thoughts elsewhere well into early June. I'll be honest with you.  Kind…

Did a little writing today, then switched gears and watched a movie that's been on my radar for years - Goodnight, Mommy, an atmospheric Austrian (psychological) horror film.  It's a slow burn until the movie's last ten minutes at which point things take a very gruesome, very unnerving turn.  I liked it but between this…

Apparently, someone (me?) left the oat milk oat overnight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1QY9Pq4lDw And today's Yes/No... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1527640153933635590 I am intrigued. Yozo, Stargate fans! https://twitter.com/bradtravelers/status/1527660580651376643

Okay, horror movies fans... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1527325266782998529 Ringu - I remember watching and being wowed by a genuinely scary horror movie with an original premise.  A true rarity. Scream - The greatest tribute to horror cinema. The Descent - This one was terrifying.  And that ending! Train to Busan - Best Zombie Movie Ever. https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1527389409183551504 Death Proof…
