Hahah thank you. We named him that because he looks like a guy you don't know who would randomly friend you on linked in.

"The naming of cats is a difficult matter. / It isn't just one of your holiday games......"

It's time to give CHILL SUBS a warm round of applause - - for the literary ferry service they competently run - - helping to row submissions to a safe harbor faster than Charon, the boatman. And thank you for rescuing cats.

Ben, since I had mentioned my fully illustrated poetry manuscript that had been making the rounds [like about 34 rounds] but had not yet found a press with an acceptable contract & a stellar marketing plan, I wanted to announce that today, December 28th, a rather splendid offer was made for it. Stoked. :-)

Yay! Congratulations! Will you send the link when it's published?

Really thrilled, Ben. Especially after some prior acceptances resulted in a press sending me a predatory contract.....

This press, however, is the real deal.

And though they are now accepting books for 2025, they have made an exception for my book - - it's forthcoming in 2024! :-)

I usually don't mind the cold but I'm feeling it this year! Ut must be my age. Georgian bakeries are very popular in Poland now and I do love those pastries. Here's to another fun year!

About the names, I literally thought you were using Dick Tracy names like Soggy Hands and Gulper.

Also, you guys rock

Also, so in Portugal is what Pinto Tracy?

haha I don't know. It's a slang term so if tracy means something else in slang, it could be anything.
