According to the app-based pictorial representation of my body/blood function as a result of being a bluetooth-connected device, last night’s was a weird night of sleep: midnight surge, etc etc. Presently both on the way back to earth – jab/stab, wait two hours, check, jab/stab, wait two hours – and surrounded by dogchildren demanding sustenance. Newsletter in +/- 60; the day awaits.
Republic DICK TRACY serial posters (1937-41)
Recently purchased the complete collection of these serials (1937, 1938, 1939, and 1941 - followed in ‘45-’47 by RKO’s series of films); can’t wait to dig in. Fond memories of the first one - haven’t seen the other three.

Windy and cold and cloudy and etc etc: typical winter stuff in an atypical winter... slowly acclimating to the Mini and its transformations to workflow; forgotten how much I missed an actual computer over a tablet - night and day, or at least midafternoon... decided to stick with MainFictionThing for the morning, will use tomorrow's newsletter to transition thoughtspace to AnotherFictionThing and Module0004... Mego Horror obsession continues: ordered Karloff from SON OF FRANKENSTEIN because I dig his fleece... back to work / the day awaits.
Only a fool comes between Kirby and his tots. (And I am that fool.)
