"The first lesson of economics is scarcity: there is never enough of anything to fully satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics." - Thomas Sowell

"The State is an institution run by gangs of murderers, plunderers and thieves, surrounded by willing executioners, propagandists, sycophants, crooks, liars, clowns, charlatans, dupes and useful idiots -- an institution that dirties and taints everything it touches." - Hans Hoppe

"Virtue is more to be feared than vice, because its excesses are not subject to the regulation of conscience." - Adam Smith

Nothing that requires the labor of others is a basic human right.

I keep a stiff upper lip and shoot from the hip. - AC/DC

This has nothing to do with writing, but rather, my career as a Navy officer. There's absolutely nothing in the world like the bridge after a long night breaks into dawn and standing on the bridge wing, earbuds in, and blasting out this (or one of the later remixes linked below). Salt spray, water whipped in foam, pitching of the ship, thrum of engines cranking, helos at the moment the blades start turning....nothing at all. As much as I longed to come home after being at sea, I miss that the most! To be a career sailor is to experience uniquely wonderful sensations.



Two of my favorite remixes:

You may have loved the view from the bridge wing, but for me, it was fishing off the fantail in the Med, and eating marlin in the enlisted mess. Our CMC was a scrappy Filipino with over 20 years enlisted as a Boatswain. Every time we got a new ChEng or MPA, they had to learn that they didn't outrank the CMC.

Can I just say the men in your  theme songs scare me?


I need a theme song. I have a playlist for writing but not a theme song. It seems too stressful to pick one song that defines me.

First thank you!  grint


Second I think those questions might be even deeper than the theme song.
Lately I find it's small things that give me joy.
A silly afternoon with my sister 
Playing in the rain
My garden
Cuddling my little man (he's furry and four legged)
Zoning out when I'm writing

Actually, I had it narrowed down between that one and "What a Wonderful World."  I thought the latter fit your answers better.  But it's your choice.
 
As a side note, earlier this year, the end of a rainbow was in my backyard.  I mean, I know a rainbow isn't supposed to have an end (it's a circle), but it looked just like it was ending in the far corner of the backyard.  No gold there though.  I checked.

Was it a double rainbow?  I like double rainbows.

I don't remember on that one.  I do see a fair number of double rainbows.  I have a photo of one I took in the 80s.  Shows up good on film but doesn't scan well.

I checked my photos.  It was a double rainbow.  Unfortunately, the rainbow doesn't show up well in the photos.  It was a magical day though.  Seeing the apparent end of a rainbow was kind of surreal.

I have a theme song for one of my episodes. I also take care to mention good songs for my readers. Eg: Ringtone, what song is played in the cafe, what MC is listening in her room, what the characters are grooving to at the party.
Some songs in my playlist thus act as mojos for my future writing sessions. :band: :lalala :banana: :dance:
