My apologies for stringing you readers along. It is not intentional.
It’s been a matter of focus, or a lack thereof, for me on drawing anything. It is hard for an artist to describe, but most of us can’t create unless there’s some sort of spark. I lost that spark last year when we purchased a new home and I’ve been busy remodeling the interior ever since. Plus, the house has 1.1 acres of heavily wooded landscaping that has been ignored for many years and I’ve been cleaning up the yard which was full of layers and layers of dead leaves as well as a ton of tiny saplings clogging up the yard.
So I wanted to sincerely apologize for the ongoing delays in creating new pages for the story. The good news is that I finally have a dedicated office where I can create in an inviting and motivating environment. Most of my toys are here, plus I have a huge modeling table set up so I can once again get at the tons of kits I have backlogged that need to be built. Being in a creative environment is helping reignite the spark I need to begin drawing this story again. I’m hesitant to say when I’ll post next, as every time I do, I totally miss the date. Let’s leave it at as soon as I can.
And, you know, it has been a bit “All Too Much” for all of us these past four to eight years. So I’ll leave with you one of George Harrison’s most overlooked songs.
Looking forward to new pages, whenever you get around to it. Take time to enjoy your new home too.
Thank you! A kind reader emailed asking when new pages were coming and quite frankly, I had lost track of time and realized it’s the end of freakin’ February of 2024. I normally start a new set of pages on my birthday, which was February 5th, so I’m way off. It also has a lot to do with my ADHD as well. Finishing projects is a weakness for us ADHD folks, and this one is one of those that’s been haunting me for a while.
Nothing like having something else to do that drives creativity away. Good luck with both.
Finishing projects might be a weakness but starting new ones at the drop of a hat can be a bigger problem sometimes…
We’ll take what we get when we get it, it’s not like we can wave an invoice or marriage certificate around and make demands 😉
When it comes to ‘post-Beatle’ individual songs, Ringo was by far my favourite but I do like me some George from time to time…

I remember the movie Yellow Submarine with the blue meanies, no where man and the animation reminds me of Monty Python cartoons. You don’t have to apoloize clearing bush with timber rattle snakes, cleaning house and repainting is a big job. I even have another alternative Big Bang story to cheer you up. It is robot wars at Caltec Howard, Lenard, Raj and Sheldon have their robot entered in battle armed with a circular saw Howard expects to finally win the prize. Sheldon “Gentlemen we will crush Berry Kripky and he never humilate us again.” Lenard “Just so Sally Rhodes stops call me whinny and Penny Debbie” Raj “You do have a whinny voice.” Howard “Well this time it’s Berry and Sally who will do the whining. Though I like how Sally thinks I’m big stuff being an astronaut shared her kabab saying they eat in Kazakstan” Raj “Doesn’t Sally have a PD in engineering unlike you Howard. She designs and build chassies for lunar and mars rovers and instill geology experiments in them.” Howard “How do you know?” Raj “Read about it. She built a low earth orbit commercial rocket and launched it from her town in Canada but wasn’t taken seriously. When was launched and satellite worked NORAD lite up they seized it but she was never charged with anything she made Canada a space power so they gave her a scholarship.”
Speak of the devils says Sheldon they are here with a box on wheels Berry in a racing shirt, jeans and sneakers while Sally in a pink mini dress with racing stripes and heels. They lift up the box and show a robot with swiviling 3 wheels mounts on each of the 4 axles a total of 12 wheels. The body is covered with circular saw blades to resist saws and flame thowers while there robot has both a circular saw and flame thrower with twin fans for extra speed. Howard “We are dead.” Sheldon “Drat my Hubrus.” Raj “She is really passive agressive. Lenard “How she’d do that we couldn’t mount up saw blades like that no fair.” Sheldon “It’s allowed under the rule book with out rules no order.” George Tiki interviews the both of them Lenard “We will win fair and square” Sheldon “Our robot will beat that monsterity because Howard added a niffty cicular saw”. Sally ” I use three wheel mounts from the 1977 movie Damnation alley landmaster Jan Micheal Vincent he was so hot in that movie. The twin fans from Sir John Isaac Thronycroft VT 2 hovercraft patent my cute Berry added the flame thrower. Sally’s robot burns, chops and runs over Howard, Lenard, Raj and Sheldon robot. Raj “I think we should have not called her bat girl after saving a bat and who are Jan Micheal Vincent and John Isaac Thronycroft anyway.” Sheldon “I killed the robot with my trash talk.” Howard ” No you didn’t Sally just has anger issues and a astronaut fetish.”
George Tiki “The winners are Berry and Sally saying to Stewart the comic I thought it was all guys.” Berry “We won I’ll cook you dinner and we’ll go to an Fil festival. Sally asked Howard “It would be nice to have a real astronaut sign the trophy.” Howard “Why not and signs it .” George Tiki “Can I sign it.” Sally “Are you Dr Chien Hsnah Sen who in 1948 inspired the North American X 20 Dynasar dynamic asscent and soaring flight delta wing glider planned launch by a titan 3 rocket project cancelled in 1963.” George Tiki “Never heard of him but I was on star trek.” Sally “Berry will like that very much even if you are a poser.” Howard to George tough crowd. George Tiki “Tell me about it.” Sheldon “She took Carl Segan book Cosmos and DVD and we still get the George Tiki action figures and Star Trek collections signrd by George Tiki she lacks streets smarts. Stewart “She just loves the PBS Cosmo show more. I hope the story cheers you I have one about Sally winning at triva pursuit and on a charter boat
