What if a fantasy band of adventurers were treated like we treat rock bands in our time?
That’s the premise behind one of my favorite fantasy novels of the past decade, Nicholas Eames' “Kings of the Wyld,” on sale for $3 on Kindle today. Definitely recommended: www.amazon.com/dp/B01KT7…
The fact that the first song the Apple Infinite Playlist algorithm churned out after the entirety of the debut album by Bad English finished playing was Steve Perry’s “Oh Sherrie” makes me think said algorithm programmer has a very good sense of humor.
I pulled up “Close My Eyes Forever” by Lita Ford & Ozzy Osbourne, and the Apple Autoplay has been doing yeoman’s work with the ’80s hard rock/heavy metal since.
Just musically wandering through my teenage years while working…
Started and finished Eric Bishop’s novella Ransomed Daughter.
A great introduction to The Omega Group, looking forward to the next tale. Though between the name and the Arnold jokes at the beginning, I suspect this was just one big homage to True Lies…

I seem to recall a documentary about something like this with Kurt Russell in the early ’80s and the solution is to KILL IT WITH FIRE. gizmodo.com/antarctic…
Oh look, the Astros-Rangers game is the Free Game of the Day on MLB.tv.
Oh look, I can’t watch it on my phone at my kid’s basketball practice because MLB broadcasting is stupid.
May have reached the point in the Rangers season where I’m actually glad I’m unable to watch the games due to local blackouts on MLB.TV (which is stupid if I’m paying for it), and the “disagreement” between Bally Sports Southwest and Frontier.
No one: Chris, what did you do when you got home from #ImmortalFestII?
Me: Started ripping all the CDs I bought in to my iTunes library…
