Perhaps I’m not really the Beast of the Number but I do like to play with numbers. Hard to avoid that, burdened as I am by heritage and education. In the mix you have accounting, engineering, statistics-based “sooth-saying”, business administration. Oh, forget about that last, those people can’t count. I mean how hard is the equation of a straight line?

Since the subject line contains the word “Kudos” some here will immediately accuse me of selling out to please readers. To that I’m guilty only to a small degree. Had that been really true I’d never have posted my dark stories ”My Last Conversation with Father”, ”Commutation” or ”Alone”. Though I have to admit you surprised me on the last one. My so called sequels could have been much more crowd-pleasing (the last part of the “My Date ...” series is the lowest scoring story but I like it).

Well, to finally getting to the point. Since posting my latest story “Mousy Trap” the accumulated Kudos count has

1) Surpassed the Bru story most hit on, i.e. the number of hits
2) Centimetered (I’m not living in the US or the UK) above the 20 000 mark.

This gives me a splendid occasion to say a big and heartfelt

THANK YOU

to all who read/read my stories.

In particular all of you who have expressed some kind of appreciation.

PS
I’ll be back.

There are too many

There are too many of your stories and only one of me to appreciate them. I know that it is kind of selfish and somewhat maudlin to say. I do want to express how much I appreciate the craft and talent that it takes to produce the well cut gems you post. Thank you.

Not that I would double cross you or anything remotely so sinister. Not that I have been drooling over your wardrobe for ages and thinking if you finally were captured I could raid your closets. Now tell me again, you're going to where in the Ukraine next week? And China's Minister of Defense who knows where China is building all their new nuclear launch sites is going to attend the trade talks and the party after? And the cobalt blue Mandarin dress you purchased a couple days ago? Not that "I" would accuse you of seducing a certain Minister of Defense for state secrets.

So tell me where the party is at and I promise I won't say a thing about spies.
Hugs Bru, you're so darn much fun. Stay safe girl and stay away from sick people and those not sick.

A dress doesn't make one a woman. Pants don't make one a male. Only a facade, as the truth is deeper. Life is so funny. Yesterday Atwoods, walked past the man arraigning lawnmowers in front.
"Only a few left to end the season?"
"Yes ma'am, most have been sold."
Okay what gave me away? The dirty bluejeans? The lose baggy shirt (my breasts don't stand out) The long white ponytail?

PS: Bru Darling, I'd sure look good in your blue dress. You will let me borrow it after the party won't you?

To take part in the party of the Party

you have to go to the embassy in Könugård (or whatever they call the place nowadays). Are you sure you heard I got a Mandarin dress? Wasn't it Mandarin Duck?

On a more serious note I have not had any problems with The Sickness. I had something that possibly could have been it in late March 2020. In that case I got the slightest case possible. Given that I live in the worst hit neighbourhood in the worst hit city in the country and I haven't had any problems since ...

Anyway. I'm double-jabbed since many weeks ago now. Not that that is a guarantee but at least the probabiltiy of a bad case is low.
