The Zoom meeting will happen this evening at 1800/6:00! I have sent out the log-in information via both Facebook Messenger and email, if you have not received said info or are unable to access the meeting, please let either Beth or I know before 5:30 tonight and we will work on it.

He collaborated with his author son, Owen; and, one by M.R. Carey, "The Book of Koli", a post-apocalyptic story.
In order to get the books faster I also signed up for Prime so I now have access to Prime Video on which I've watched: "Tales From the Loop" (no, not about Chicago) but, a Twilight Zone-esque series of 8 episodes all somehow connected; and "The Boys" which is adapted from a comic book about corrupt superheroes. Both are Season 1 (2019) productions. It remains to be seen if there'll…
