@sapphiclunet Wonderful.

@PaprbackWarrior That's a great stack of books. I envy you. I'd line them up on a table, turn my back, and ask my wife to choose a number between one and six, and choose the book that corresponds with her choice.

@JoeNLiamsMama @PplsCityCouncil @LAPDHQ That's an insult to cave men.

Hot off the keyboard, a new Junior Bender novel, RIM SHOT, set during the final days of the worst oldies rock tour in history. The title refers to a drummer (the book begins with a drummer) hitting the drum's metallic rim rather than the head. Don't know anything re: pub date.

@gasagasagirl Also, Naomi, just pre-ordered it. Now I have something rally interesting to look forward to.

[Timothy Hallinan @TimHallinan]

@gasagasagirl SOOOOO happy for you. And there's zero doubt about whether it was deserved.

Hoo hoo -- second anti-plague shot and it was a piece of cake. Someone asked me this morning which arm they'd used, and I had to think about it.

[Timothy Hallinan @TimHallinan]

@flightning31 That's so nice of you. Thanks a million.

[Timothy Hallinan @TimHallinan]

Done at last: the eighth (!) Junior Bender book. Who'da thought? Don't have a release date yet.

[Timothy Hallinan @TimHallinan]

@flightning31 A writer can ask no more. Thanks so much.

[Timothy Hallinan @TimHallinan]

@ktink11 That's so nice of you. I'm here occasionally but am going to pick it up a bit. Thanks for the kind words.

I wish this were a happier nation but I don't know how it's going to change. We can't even agree to wear a fucking mask. Seems to me we have two completely different Americas at this point.

El Assholio Grande is going to pardon everyone who could have testified against him. He just started with Michael Flynn.

@christianllamar @allaboutswan Dream on.

For El Scroogo-s final White House Christmas, I think we should all send him a lump of coal.

[Timothy Hallinan @TimHallinan]

When I think back on you -- and I will try not to -- it's your room-melting smile I'll remember.

[Timothy Hallinan @TimHallinan]

@gasagasagirl I LOVED the first one.

[Timothy Hallinan @TimHallinan]

@DuxfordStJohns @SaveRedlandLibr Beautiful.

[Timothy Hallinan @TimHallinan]

People keep asking how the Republicans can rally behind Trump. They'd rally behind Torquemada if he could deliver the White House. At this point for the Republican leadership, ethics are a quaint and potentially counterproductive notion.

[Timothy Hallinan @TimHallinan]

Absolutely.
