A Brief Musing, and Some More of My Top Fives: A (Hopefully) Self-Explanatory Set of Five ‘Favorites’ Lists

Afternoon, Friday, October 27, 2023, Lithia, Florida

Hi, folks. It’s afternoon here in my corner of the Tampa Bay area on the last Friday of October 2023 and the last day of a regular five-day workweek. I’m a bit late with my blogging, but I had other matters to attend to, so my writing schedule is now way behind. I will try to work on the manuscript for Reunion: Coda, if only to take my mind off my frets and worries, both big and small.

I don’t have the time – or the desire – to write a long blog post, especially not about “writing & storytelling.”  Instead, I’m going to create yet another Top Fives list post based on some of my favorite things in life.

So, without further ado – I ran out of ado on Wednesday afternoon – here…we…go.
