For the past few days I’ve been lost in the the world created by Suzanne Collins in The Hunger Games trilogy. This is not the kind of fiction I usually read, and combined with medication I’ve been taking for headaches, it’s been a week of crazy dreams. I think my next reading material will be by any author who offers me joy and unicorns.
Speaking of authors, a Fool For Love contributor was in town this week and had dinner at The Compound. You can’t even tell he was brought in under blindfold via armored car.

We had a great time talking about writing, books, mad-eyed politicians, and a celebrity or two. The dogs gave him a unanimous all-paws-up.
Another “Fool” checked off the list. How fun!
I wish Andrew Holleran and Felice Picano would hurry up and visit. Their blindfold shots will be instant classics!
You’re so right.
Crazy Dreams: The night before, I had this very realistic dream about Walmart. They decided to dispose of their day care (don’t ask me why they had one, it is Walmart and any signs of unionization on pain of death). The news team were there for this extravagant press release. One parent was interviewed only because she quit using Walamrt the day care, because, one day, her child ~gasp!~ sneezed. She said she felt it wrong for a child of that age to sneeze, so she took her out and had her shot!
See, I could have had a dream like that after reading The Hunger Games trilogy. Would have fit right in.
And a visit from Nathan Smith–“Heart” did me in. So many great stories.

Great picture 😉 … and are you liking the book ?
Thanks. I finished all three of them. Still not really my kind of book, but I felt compelled to find out what happened, so I guess that means I liked it!
You probably really don’t want to read “A Song of Ice and Fire” novels then. They are HUGE and full of Regency-era violence and very interesting characters/families. And dragons and wolves and ravens.
No unicorns though. At least not through Book 4, which I’m reading right now.
Beautiful pics of friends too.
So much to read–so many books I haven’t read–so I generally don’t read fantasy, sci fi, epics, spec fiction. Nothing wrong with them, I just enjoy other kinds of reading more.
Thanks–love my friends!
