There is truth in these:
Joy & Strength

Joy & Strength

At long last, after thousands of pages about things which had something the matter with, I think I have found the perfect novel to feed my soul: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig.
With any luck there be an excerpt to come. Looks right up your alley, @Kendel.
Geez it’s like a gosh durn movie. I start reading a new novel sitting in the car waiting for Lia to come out from her appointment and it starts raining like crazy. Clearly a new beginning is being signaled.

How to decide! Knowing all the results of all the possible rolls in the RPG.
Thanks for sharing this Jay. I like your imagery.
I don’t have the nerve to go back old writing, and none of mine is poetry or fiction. When it’s done, I’m generally done with it and don’t want to face it again, knowing it has problems I don’t want to know about.
It’s gutsy to look again, and even gutsier ro share writing in public.

Read this epigraph in a book on understanding Revelation earlier today. It seems like a good reminder for every day:
“God’s reign is already present on our earth in mystery.
When every effort to better society, especially when injustice and sin are so ingrained,
is an effort that God blesses,
that God wants,
that God demands of us.”
Words spoken by Archbishop Oscar Romero as he celebrated Eucharist on March 24, 1980, at the chapel of Divine Providence Cancer Hospital in San Salvador. In preceding months Romero had summoned the people of El Salvador to nonviolent resistance against a repressive military regime. As he finished his eucharistic homily, a single bullet from an assassin ended his life (James R. Brockman, The Church is All of You: Thoughts of Archbishop Oscar Romero [Minneapolis: Winston, 1984], 110).

That makes more sense even than rebounds per game, my first thought.

I’ve got a couple of online stories that got interrupted when caring for my mom got intensive. I intend to get back to them, but I’ve lost the flow/energy of the story that carries a writer along and will have to re-read each one carefully to get back to adding to them.
I actually really miss writing, but these days I tend to be worn out at the evening of each day from working on projects that should have been done when my dad was still alive.

Craps? 
More properly, “role play”, though “roll play” is a term that gets used; it tends to be derogatory, referring to game where play relies on constant rolling of dice.
I like “radicals per generation” – not political but biological.

I once dropped my players’ characters into a casino run by a dragon. They had to win at three games in order to be allowed to leave. One of the guys was fantastic at craps.

Roling and rolling. 
Yeah. THanks. Dumb mistake. Editing
Pithy, witty, or poetic, perhaps I should post under humor:

Looks like I may need to lay up a greater store of them.
I give it a C- grade: the rhyme scheme was not consistent, but most of all it never employed an Oxford comma.
Ha! Maybe that was the real point, that it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
Except it didn’t even have a sentence where the Oxford comma could have been used.
