Nice? I have to be nice, too?
Hello, Readers All,
I'm not nice but sometimes I can put up a pretty decent facade, enough to keep people fooled anyway. I'm also not very good at Adulting. But, again, as long as I keep up appearances I've been able to remain in a suspended state of adolescence for SIX decades and counting.

Hear that sound? It might sound vaguely familiar. We heard it after 9/11 and again after the bankers' crashed the economy in 2008. It's the sucking sound of people threatening to leave the city for good.

Well, that was the last risk she was going to take. Quit while you’re ahead. Or, in this case, quit before all is lost.
AleXander's not letting anyone off the hook this week either. Suffering is good for the complexion. I read it on the internet.

So we're heading into another week, My Readers. I can't even tell you how much I appreciate your eyes on the work. I noticed that the link I included to Ko-fi last week looked like it broke, but it did seem to work ok. I'm doing it again. If nothing else, it gives you the chance to throw $3 my way which would be so appreciated.

Until next week, keep trudging. RW
