hellyfish swims to my house!


It's been a long trek around the world, but "Hellyfish" has at long last returned to its spawning grounds.
That would be Tybee Island, Georgia.
Bwah ha ha!!!
I've been awaiting its arrival for better'n three years.
But the time has come to dive in and see what lies beneath the waves..
as soon as I can catch my breath from these first few weeks of the new semester...
just how far away is the shore, anyway?
(smile)
I'll just keep dog paddling and treading water...
but soon, I tell you!
Soon!

kitties to the moon!


When Mick Szydlowski and Travis Bossard contacted me about another book in the works, I was thrilled! Another book about Oskar and Klaus? Bring it on!
Even so, I was not yet ready to commit. Money has been tight and I was still reeling from the hit-and-run driver's demolition of my car and my psyche.
That was almost exactly a month ago.
Jump ahead to today.
Five and a half hours ago, they sent a reminder message. The campaign was coming to a close. If I wanted in on this new project, I needed to make a move.
Alrighty then!
I read the message only thirty minutes ago.
I am now part of the 625-member Mission Control Crew taking this kickstarter project into reality and beyond! How out of this world!
Yes, those two curious kitties, Oskar and Klaus, will be astrocats this time around! "The Mission To Cataria" promises to be a rollicking good time and I am so pleased to have helped them reach one of the stretch goals. Hooray!
Best of all?
I'll have my own copy of the first book, "The Search for Bigfoot". As you may recall, I had given that book to the bfe for his birthday last year.
As a MACH 3 backer of the book, I'm also going to receive a copy of the new book, another Oskar & Klaus Adventure Society Patch, the downloadable PDF of the foldable Oskar & Klaus: Astrocats paper dolls, and the downloadable Oskar & Klaus Wallpapers for digital devices.
How cool is that? But I'm not done yet!
As a special bonus for attainment of the stretch goal, I also get the downloadable PDF Oskar & Klaus "Space Camp" Activity Book!
Wow!
Pardon me while I retrieve those paper dolls...
...I need something to entertain me while I wait for the books!
