Just Because
Hello, Readers All,
It’s strangely easy to forget that I’m not just tossing these weekly missives into the abyss. But thanks to certain Readers (you know who you are) who send emails from time to time, I get my coat pulled on that score.
Oh, right. There you are! Still here, huh? Wow, that is pretty fucking cool. Thank you!
Even though we have no new stories for Medium again this week (not that anyone there notices). But there’s always something brewing here and - as always - the comments that my Newsbreak pieces seem to attract are worth the price of admission.

Ok, right, I’m not an economist. I don’t know an exchange-traded derivative from an MSCI EAFE Index. You do? Cool, you can wow me with your investment savvy in the comments.
Somehow I expected this one to raise more ire than it seems to have. Go figure. Maybe more people dislike dogs and kids than I realized?

I’ll amend that first statement: I don’t like dogs in the supermarket. But kids? Speaking in the most general of terms, I don’t much like them anywhere.

And just what was I up to a year ago? Oh, right. Planting my face in the sidewalk on West Fourth Street. Good times.

My partner in life and art has a beautiful new piece of fiction to share. I love how his mind works!

Visitation In A Cubicle
Hat’s by the door and last week’s coins were very welcome. Anything tossed into the hat tonight will most likely go to cover rent given it’s the end of the month so great, big, sloppy thank yous!!!
https://ko-fi.com/remingtonwriteThere we go. Nearly four years of this interesting little dance and I must say it’s wild that you’re still dancing with me. Remember that all seedy suggestions are as welcome as whatever wholesome whimsy you can spare at: Remington.write@gmail.com
Let’s see what I can start conjuring for next week.
