The new year has started with a BANG and 2022 was a great year.
I launched a new book, 'Invasion of the Aquanoids' on Amazon and on Barnes and Noble 'Invasion of the Aquanoids '. The cover art was redone by a new friend on Twitter, Victor Pflug ( @modredcastleton), who develops great Point and Click games. Check out his work on Steam. Look for games from Wormwood Studios.
I made some awesome new writing contacts and started new books for this year.
I started on a new med, 'Entresto' for my low ejection heart issues. I also started using a sleep apnea CPAP machine. I'm feeling a 'bit' better these days. When I put the mask system on I look like something from a SciFi/Horror movie, but I do get better sleep and far fewer 'episodes' where I stop breathing. During my testing I had 600 episodes in 1 hour. Now I have 1-2 all night! I don't like wearing the mask, but I'm getting used to it.
I had cataracts removed from both eyes and corrective lenses inserted. The world is suddenly much brighter and more colorful! AND I only need reading glasses for things like paperback books, newspaper, etc.
Modern medical science is amazing!
Visited the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam as a side trip on our Las Vegas vacation. Vegas was fun for the first couple of days, but we should have only stayed for 2 or 3 days instead of 5. I doubt we'll be back. Best part of the Vegas stay was seeing the Beatles Cirque du Soleil show at the Mirage. Totally worth the terrible air flight to Vegas. Go see it before they tear down the Mirage next year!
I also started picking up the guitar again. I'm going to start up lessons again. Need to get these old fingers nimble enough to play. ;-)
I'm really looking forward to diving into new books and hopefully publishing stories in magazines this year. I've had tons of 'not for us at this time' responses, but I keep trying!
I hope you all had a decent 2022 and are looking forward to a great 2023.
Here's a little Navy humor to start your day.
