I now have two hundred followers and I’m not a pretty teenage girl. This, to me, is an achievement. As a thank you, I’m publishing the first chapter to my parody of Robert Ludlum/Dan Brown books, The Moosehead Stratagem.
It has super-assassins, super agents and a beautiful female scientist. It is, for want of a better word, formulaic. Please, let me know what you think.

Congratulations. Well done you.

Well, I couldn’t have done it without you. And, since I’m sitting EXACTLY at two hundred followers, I mean that literally…

Ha! The part about Delaware had me chuckling. Also the guy that had been shredded 50 times 😂

I had OD’d on spy novels and I was starting to riff on them… so I figured that I’d write it down. Every Ludlum novel starts with a man with no name… just a number… working for an organization so secret that even the people who run it don’t know it exists… oops! See how easy it is?

Oh, I’ll never look at my shredder the same way…😂😂😂 thought I’d fall out of my chair laughing by the time I got to “Anyone who stated that they were powerful without making the quote signs with their fingers, would be found, questioned and shredded.” 😂 Sincerest congratulations on reaching 200 readers…😊😊😊

Thanks, Patti. There are four more parts to the first chapter. If they get to be a bit much, please let me know. Thank you for reading my stuff. It definitely means a lot to see people enjoying it…

It’s funny, Patti: I get my best ideas while reading philosophy or semiotics. I think my brain is trying to distract me from what I’m reading… Currently reading a book on the science of categories. It’s horribly dry, dull and a gold mine…

So…if you ever tell me that one of MY posts inspired you to write one of YOUR posts, I will know that I should be trying harder…😂

Your post about telling your kids about your past drug use has a lot of potential for a humor column… You’ve got me thinking, now…

You’re not a pretty teenage girl? Really? We’ll then maybe you can help me because most teenage girls wouldn’t know the answer here. How do I unsubscribe from your blog? Thanks in advance!

Actually, when it comes to dealing with quirks of wordpress, teenage girls have it over me by a mile. So do children and toddlers. I program computers but I have to ask my boys how to do stuff on my computer…
