Not much today. Bahama Breeze was nice yesterday - we actually ate inside. I had the terrific black bean soup and two mahi-mahi tacos. They were terrific. I got my Key Lime pie, although nobody else had dessert. My present from Steven? It was a copy of the Detective comic that had the first solo Elongated Man story - the "An ear in the fireplace!  He must be on the roof!". I like it, but I have the original. He could've framed it or done something like that, but no... Oh, well, I did get a new Kindle and a cover for it! I brought myself to read some of the short stories I had written. Some of them would've been pretty good if I had left out a lot of the Christian witnessing crap. One was an inter-stellar story about a brother and sister who went through a space gap and landed on another planet. It turned into a tacky "Christian romance". Cute, but the story became implausible when the prayers were all "in Christ's name". How did  the people on the other planet have a Jesus? Or prayer? Or faith? It could use a good rewrite. Maybe I'll do that with a few. Get rid of the tacky Christian references and put a bit more science in the fiction. 
I got a few PayPal dollars from a survey site of mine. I ordered some Biden/Harris buttons from Etsy. I'm hoping that doesn't jinx them. Clinton/Gore is the only one I've got that has won. Of course all but John Anderson are Democrats and I don't think I got a Obama/Biden button.
