Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Sometimes you wanna go
Where everybody knows your name
And they're always glad you came
You wanna be where you can see (ah-ah)
Our troubles are all the same (ah-ah)
You wanna be where everybody knows your name
Hah, I just put the Cheer's theme song in your head!! You can thank me for that later.
Seriously though, in America we are on the precipice of a historic election and tensions are high - raging wildfires, pandemic and all sorts of nonsense. People losing their jobs, economic conditions are sad for many while others are sitting pretty and lack empathy.
The reason I picked the Cheer's theme song was that I was thinking about SOL like a Bar. I am Cliff sitting on the edge of the bar with my buddy Norm (Mike McGifford) and we are having our beers (stories) and shooting the shit while we do.
I was telling him that this story we are working on together should be fun to create! It should not feel like work. It doesn't to me. It's tedious at times to check the grammar and to rewrite parts that don't make a lot of sense. We are writing a story where one of us writes a chapter and then the other person writes the next one. Sometimes it is a little confusing with two chefs stirring the pot. But Sometimes one of us catches something "Candy wouldn't be in the truck because she is still at work" - and that's great - so having two people working on this has made the story much better than any I've written previously.
Don't get me wrong either - I love sharing my stories with like minded readers who get off on the perverse tales. I just wanted to say that the reason I am at this bar, drinking this beer is also that right now I just want to get away - see things through the eyes of my characters and experience vicariously the things they do and see.
My virtual "Cheers" is this site - where we share stories and I just wanted to express my appreciation for those who contribute to it - especially the webmaster.
