Woman As Art
As of this morning the Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette has 24, 667 visits for December 2012 and there are still six more days before January.
How’s everyone doing on this Christmas Day?
The Old Soldier is relaxing in his favorite position: on the sofa on his back with two pillows under his weary head as he writes this in his notebook. I have two new books from the public library: War on the Water, The Union & Confederate Navies, 1861-1865 by James M. McPherson and Dial M For Murdoch, News Corporation And The Corruption Of Britain by Tom Watson & Martin Hickman.
And you thought the Old Soldier was only interested in flash fiction and naked women.

I finished off a six-pack of beer this morning. I was going to save money for karaoke at Del’s this Friday night; but there probably won’t be much of a crowd because of the holidays. So, I’ll just wait for the first Friday in January and use the money to hang out and enjoy myself.
The Old Soldier loves his beer.
It’s an overcast day in Pittsburgh. The high will only be in the 40s. I have several turkey necks in the crock pot and I don’t think I’ll even go outside today.
Have a merry Christmas. Be sure to check the front page for the latest updates.

Crock Pots, Lamb Chops, Sonny’s Tavern And Autumn In Pittsburgh
I still want to eat more vegetarian, but obviously I don’t have the will power to do it just yet.

Well, I’m going to post this and walk on up to Sonny’s Tavern. It’s nice to have a neighborhood bar only four blocks away from my apartment building.
And the clientle is friendly, diverse and interesting, especially on a Friday night. It’s the perfect scene for a flash fiction writer.

It’s been sunny all day. The Old Soldier has not been outside yet, but the high for today is supposed to be in the 40s and the Old Soldier has gotten in some good blogging so it’s time to enjoy this beautiful Autumn day in Pittsburgh.
