Well, your writing might not be making your life rich, but it sure enriches mine!

I can name a good portion of the dogs in my neighborhood.

Peoples names? They are the dogs dad or mom. Such as I am Hannah and Sadie’s mom.

People I routinely stop and chat with!

I thought this was normal. 😀

Yeah, I think that's how it's supposed to go. 😂

Back when I posted on Medium, I would regularly receive notice of deposits into my bank for $.76, sometimes even over $1! And I thought, look at me, I'm a paid writer! (snicker). I don't depend on my Substack (11 supporters, but I'm rich in friends) for income, but I love that your speaking gigs and workshops allow you to hobnob with people and share your stories.

Excellent update. This writing thing sounds great to tide you over until your band gets a hit single and y’all sign with a major label.

Dead Pioneers! WOW! (and of course all the rest, too).

They're great.

Hi Chris. It's always nice to read about your life and wanderings. I wish we could just take a walk and talk in the dark!

I love the sound of that. We need to seriously put some kind of project together.

Holly's avatar

Yea, we just need funding for: Two Poets Take a Nighttime Walk and Have Dinner Together!

Patrick, nicely said. And Chris, as always, an interesting update on activities.

A special thank you for the Dead Pioneers bashing of the “Orange King”. I was unfamiliar with the band; so now I have 2 new bands to enjoy (the other being Cheap Perfume who lent Stephanie Byrne to “Nazi Teeth”. Wish I could find a “my spirit animal ate your spirit animal” t-shirt…

I'm surprised they don't have one!
