Been out running around like the proverbial chicken with his proverbial head cut proverbially off all day, only just now getting back home again. So the Friday Eyrie post, while about half-done from working on it some yesterday, is probably gonna be postponed until tomorrow night, I’m thinking—in part because I have a sad, sad duty to perform for a close friend who’s had a bit of a setback. A BIT of…? A good, hard sucker-punch right to the goddamned ‘nads thrown by a MMA champeen in peak form, more like.
Billy, a/k/a Big Country Expat, has asked me to put the word out as best I can that, after a trip most arduous from FLA, he was greeted in the sorry-ass shithole state of Tennessee with some horribly bad tidings, which have rocked him back on his heels considerably. Yes, I know the details. No, I won’t be going into them here; that’s for Billy to do or not do at his own discretion, in his own good time. But take my word for it, it’s bad. About as bad as bad gets, in fact. Trust me, there’s a reason his latest post announcing a two-week hiatus from blogging prominently features an image of a large, green, pear-shaped object, and not Word One else.
More as and when, but in the meantime, your heartfelt prayers for my brother-from-another-mother Billy and the sweet and lovely Gretchen in their time of direst need would surely not go amiss.
Update! Presented without comment; far as I’m concerned, none is necessary.
GREAT song, GREAT arrangement, GREAT vocal performance, no matter the context.

After reading your and others posts about this, then his on gab and looking at the pic of that poor sweet kid, why are my guts roiling like it’s way worse than losing in court?. I pray I’m wrong, and I hope the feeling will go away. But I’ve seen the crazy, stupid, and awful shit that happens in the shallow end of the gene pool where she’s been captive. I’ll pray for both of them.
FFS, and just in time for Mother’s day.
Shit’s not right.
His blog is gone😥
I don’t know what has happened, but I’m getting a sickly feeling.
