RTBTCKI The Proud Mama Edition
I have had a couple of people ask me if everything is OK since I have been kind of quiet and we have had a slew of bad news.
Things are fine here for the most part. It has more to do with some fictional writing I am working on that is taking up most of my free writing time. I can write non-fiction or fiction but for some reason not both in the same day.
I also needed to take a bit of a break to stop me from saying some things I probably shouldn’t be saying on the Internet due to some kerfuffle on various social media platforms. Both those and I have calmed down so no longer a problem.
I never blog when angry for various reasons.
Now on to the bit about Caroline who has had three marking periods of straight A’s. She also scored a 28/28 on her NYSSMA (New York State School Music Association) solo in flute. She is being encouraged to take a leadership role at school. She was the only girl in the sixth grade of her school to go to the Hofstra Robotics meet. She is passionate about social issues that affect her and is willing to talk about them. Middle School has really worked out for her in ways I couldn’t possibly imagine. And she is getting so tall. I don’t have to bend over to put my chin on her head anymore.
Peter has finished writing the three Star Trek New Frontier e-books. He is now working on another project along with his Marvel work. He has a new game out that he wrote the dialogue for entitled Marvel Future Fight. We were highly amused that when we went to see Avengers Age of Ultron in 2-D there was an ad for the game in the previews. Peter had no idea that they did that and the plus was that they used his dialogue in the promo. That was a RL easter egg if there ever was one.
I am working on some puppets again. I finished the Doctor’s Daughter.
( For the VI: This is a puppet based on the character Jenny from the episode of Doctor Who entitled The Doctor’s Daughter. She has blond hair and blue eyes and is wearing a dark green shirt with a light brown belt. She is propped up against a bunch of fabric and puppet parts)
And am now working on a Zelena puppet to give to Rebecca Mader as an apology for all the crap that got toss at her for her fine acting job as Zelena. Fandom sometimes can be really thick and not separating the actor from the roll is just not cricket. If anything it proves just how good an actor she is.
The beginnings of Zelena the puppet
(For the VI: To the right is Zelena who has green skin, red hair and blue eyes. Next to her is Jenny. They are propped up on a pile of fabric and puppet parts)
This weekend we are at Wizard World Philly. Peter has a table in artist alley. Please come by and say “Hi”. I love to meet the people who read this web log. Caroline will be selling drawings and Peter will have plenty of books for sale. I will have various puppets with me including Sherlock if I can get the coat redone but I am not holding my breath. But I will have Rumple, Mr. Gold, Nick Fury and the War Doctor.
I am grateful that I am building puppets again. That was a long drought for me.
