Working on something. Not sure how well it fits the topic, but it does occur mostly on New Year's Day.

I'm sure Carlos would have appreciated anything you come up with.

My small offering should be finished tomorrow- at least in my head!

Hi, I have a problem with getting a link via my black nemesis, Microsoft. Although on my post work new laptop and a new account with the world dominator, every time I try to share a link to a document I am referred to my ex work account, no longer active.   So, from my Catch 22 situation, is anybody willing/able to allow me to DM them a simple word doc that they could then share the link for @Valkyrie? I’m not sure my little black comedy is worth the effort but I would be indebted.  
 

regards and fingers crossed 🤞

That shouldn't be necessary.  The link I need is to the posted, unpublished story, just like what we do for the anthologies.  If you need help, send me a PM and I will do my best

I'm a little confused, in @Bill W's tribute, @weinerdog indicated Carlos also died in 2024. But @Defiance19 indicated "two years gone." Having joined in July of 2023, I suspect I might have run across Carlos if he was still alive at that point. Not tremendously important, just curious.

Carlos passed away on June 16, 2023, so it's been 1 1/2 years.

Sorry, Lee.  Time slipped by me faster than I realized.

No worries, I was just curious.
