We just made it to Arkansas. A new state for all of us!
I want to use this post to say thank you to VW who offered us to use one of their cars for this roadtrip so we don’t need to worry about the rental car hassle we had on the last trip.
My mum has been a widow for 7 months.
It's been quite lonely for her. We don't live in the same city. But she finally met a potential friend — another widow.
MUM: "I was about to invite her over. But couldn't."
ME: "Why not?"
MUM: "What if she sees something in the house and realizes I'm Jewish? I don't want to risk it."
This is the sad reality of Canada in 2026/1939.
And if you think she's overreacting, that's the other sad reality of Canada in 2026/1939.
I moved to Dallas, packed my bags in St Louis, and landed in Dallas in July of 2001 to work for American Airlines. I signed an apartment lease, and was so happy to be starting my job with American Airlines after years with my hometown airline, Trans World Airlines. They were allowing me to bridge my years so that i didn’t lose my tenure from TWA. I loved Dallas, but missed St Louis and my family there. I was young, free and so dedicated and proud to join American Airlines. I was in my apartment one morning, getting ready for work on what started out to be a normal morning work day. I was just about 5 minutes from leaving to get into my car to drive to the office when my cell phone rang. It was a former colleague from TWA who was in St. Louis. He said, “Hey, where are you? Have you heard the news? One of your planes hit the World Trade Center. An AA plane, and United Airlines also hit the World Trade Center.” I was in complete shock. I couldn’t even believe what I was hearing. I conversed with my friend as I ran to get into my car, shaking, confused and very worried. He then said, “Oh my God, now the pentagon, a plane has hit the Pentagon”… I thought WWIII was beginning. Not a plane in the sky as all US air space was shutdown. I walked into the office at American Airlines and it was surreal, sad, and all of us were in tears staring at the TVs while news reports came flooding in. My husband (wasn’t my husband at that time and I had yet to meet him) but he was flying an aircraft back from Europe to the US and was inflight when 9/11 occurred. His story is much more interesting shocking and compelling than mine. Thankfully he was a former fighter pilot in the USAF. He prepared for the worst. He kept the passengers calm, his crew informed and prepared (he absolutely had a plan in the event his aircraft was next), and he had to divert to another city outside of the US. No one should ever, ever take what happened to our country on 9/11 for granted. Vote accordingly and protect America — it’s our country to protect, our freedom to protect, our fellow Americans to protect. Remember that the enemy is real, but we are strong. Vote red, because America is worth saving and a vote for the Democrats is a vote for terrorism.
I’m thrilled to announce that tomorrow The Pendragon Cycle will begin streaming on @PrimeVideo here in the US.
Watching our show become the #1 Fantasy Series on Prime Video across Europe with virtually no marketing has been enormously gratifying.
We believe we made something beautiful and good, and we're thrilled The Pendragon Cycle will now reach an even bigger audience in America.

@WokeWarRoom I guess he decided before birth to be born white & now loathes his parents, grandparents, etc? So he is his own god? Our parents chose children. We have nothing to be ashamed of. Life is a gift
