Otherwise, we drown in the miasma of current news.  Better to practice art or make music or write a sonnet.  Actually, I&#8217;m not sure how to write a sonnet, so I&#8217;d better stick with apocalyptic fiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"263\" height=\"171\" src=\"https:\/\/www.planetsusan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/destroyed-whitehouse.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8307\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of apocalyptic fiction, Book 4 of the <em>Suffer the Children<\/em> series is nearly done.  I&#8217;ve incorporated some of the Hopi ethos that I intend to return to in the sequel.  Yes, dear readers, there will be a sequel, I promise.  But it&#8217;s likely I won&#8217;t start to write it until after the first of the year.  Everyone deserves a break at Christmas, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away.  I bought the bone-in leg of lamb from Joseph&#8217;s..hope it&#8217;s good.  John ordered a new grill that is both propane and charcoal.  I think I&#8217;d like to cook the lamb over charcoal &#8211; might take away some of that Aussie mutton tinge.  American lamb costs 4 times as much so charcoal is the plan.  I&#8217;ll start working on the odds &amp; ends (pickles and pickled mushrooms) this weekend.  Michael has changed his mind about coming, so that&#8217;ll add cheesecake to the menu.  It&#8217;s his favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.planetsusan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/leg-of-lamb.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8020\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.planetsusan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/leg-of-lamb.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.planetsusan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/leg-of-lamb-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s all for now..keep the faith and do something fun this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another day, another tweet, another school shooting &#8211; this time by a fifteen year old who&#8217;s barely hanging on to life.
