Well, it’s official, hardware and all. My son is now an Eagle Scout. He worked so hard for this, and the process had its ups and downs, to be sure. We’ll probably have a court of honor in a few months or so. But for now, we simply gaze upon the medal and pins–and that’s enough.
In other news, I managed about 3,000 words on the coffee ghost story. I worked through all the audio files for The Fine Art of Keeping Quiet. The Maze is done, and according to my dashboard, headed for retail (!).
Also, I wrote up a book review this week (see link below). And I may do another post in a bit to recap all the WWI books I’ve read in the past few years.

Sounds like a lovely week, all around — hope you’re basking in the glow.
Congratulations to your son for becoming an eagle scout! Eagle scouts are a dying breed, unfortunately! Will look great if he is interested in going to college too!
Keep at it! I am. I’m in school for my PhD now, but I am still going to make time to write.
