Well how the heck are you?  

First things first, thank you to Cia for stepping in last moment for me last week when I was suddenly hit with a wave of nausea again. Unfortunately still side effects of a new medicine. I know when I reached out to her, she and her hubby had just settled down to watching Justin Bieber's, Never Say Never . Okay, maybe the last part isn't the whole truth .

I really can't believe how a week can make a difference. Last Sunday, I think we had a high of 2 (37F) and ugly. This weekend, we are sitting in the mid 20's (mid 70's) and it is beautiful. This week I decided to start working off the Covid 19 lbs. that somehow doubled to 38 over the past year . Wish me luck, but I tell you, getting motivated for a walk is so much easier when you don't have to double your body weight in clothing to go out. Hmmm, wonder if I would be more motivated if I walked naked .

With the disturbing image in your minds  let's see what we have had happen in the GA Blog this week.

Monday, Renee shared a great story review about one of our longest running stories and currently still posting here at GA. @Timothy M. did the story great justice.

Then we took an extended break until everyone's favourite prompt guru, comicfan, popped in to share a couple more new prompts:

Finally on Saturday, Myr took the reigns to this rickety cart and brought us a new new discussion on Article Day:

Now, did you go in daily and learn some new words for not only your writing, but your vocabulary? If not, never too late as they are all condensed here  

 Vanilla, Tatterdemalion, Pyrotechnics, Colloquy, Alopecia, Touchstone, Minuscule

Lastly, how about those goals!
