Circling back to the very first AUFAYNCA regarding brushes with minorly famous people - - -
This is Luther "Dummy" Taylor My grandmother was a Taylor and was his cousin. He was born deaf (hence the nickname) in 1875 and was a major league pitcher from 1900-1908. He's in the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame and the gymnasium at the Kansas School for the Deaf - where he was a student - is named in his honor.

I started a business creating greeting cards for difficult relationships. You know, when you can't say "I hope your birthday is as great as you are!" because you don't want to curse them. Instead you say "A little birdie told me it's time to celebrate", and you don't say out loud that you flipped that bird the bird.
Designing the cards, no problem.
Finding a printer, surmountable problem.
Writing a snarky fictional advice column advising literary figures on their difficult cards to write, very fun problem.
Setting up a Shopify website: gah, what a problem.
I just finished writing a book review of The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel.
Non-fiction and excellent (I thought anyway) Well worth reading if you're into History on the cusp of WW1 (Diesel went missing in 1913.)

It's supposed to rain here tomorrow, so I got on the roof and looked for leaks to patch.
Maybe I got them. Maybe I didn't.
I have to wait until it rains to find out.
I'm 70 years old and have been told to stay off of ladders.
I don't listen too well.
