KENDRA

Literally every single time we leave the house, Kendra will track down each cat and let them know that she'll be back soon and that we'll all hang out and do family stuff soon. It's cute.

X-GAMA3

Space Log:

HD 46375 - 96 LY from Earth. X-Gama3 small rocky planet just inside the habitable zone. Looked to be a desert planet from space. Mostly sedimentary rock suggests an active ancient past. Sagan and I drove 34 kilometers from the J-1 Lander looking for cool stuff, but didn't find anything. Tonight we're doing game night with the crew and eating pizza. Might as well, just pack it up for X-Gama3 and move on...

Even in space, when traveling trillions of miles at ludicrous relativistic speeds, spanning hundreds of years in space and time, jobs can become mundane and well... Old hat. A simple game night with friends talking about music, and art and terrifying mind-bending alien encounters beyond all human comprehension, can really lift the spirit.

COVID FINALLY GOT ME

Hi,

I know COVID related content is like passe now as we've all just moved on as a society. But, having had it for the first time this week was... well... Drawing worthy.

It was the worst at night. I could't sleep even thought that's all I wanted to do. I fancy myself a Bagnara Level napper too, so it was really odd to just lay there and NOT sleep. When I did sleep, I'd wake up and not know what century I was in. My dreams were filled with adventure. I was ducking and weaving giant viruses in a death race for survival and flying through wastelands of misfiring ganglia bursting in colorful sprites.

The soup was the best part. I love soup, you all know this, and no one can tell you you can't have it when you're sick with COVID so slurp up!

I'd like to give thanks to Kendra for keeping me alive though. We live in a loft so there is no quarantine, she just braved the wrath like a masked soldier storming the beach. Brewing huge cauldrons of bone elixirs like a forest witch and chopping cucumbers into digestible sizes and funny shapes to cheer me up.

Oh and, I'd like to give 0.00 thanks to my 2 cats who avoided me the entire time. I'd expect that from Heidi since she's basically a middle school goth girl. (Weird and skittish), but Sagan? My BFF, my number one homie on the planet avoided me like I was a lump of tainted chipmunk meat. (Oddly enough, that was how I felt most of the time).

Anyway, I drew my journey though the darkness and suffering. Through the twists and turns and random temperature fluctuations, to find myself at redemption just in time to rejoin society as we watch it crumble around us in 2024.

Cheers from your boy,

YE OLDE WEST

You had to be at the ready at all times back in those days. Sagan was always the lookout for snake-oil salesmen, low-life rustlers and donkey thieves.
