I just finished the fourth book in this series by Dennis E. Taylor. Very interesting and a good respite from serious true accounts of war which I have been reading. The sample reading is my first attempt at this so be patient🥴

“Bob Johansson has just sold his software company and is looking forward to a life of leisure. There are places to go, books to read, and movies to watch. So it’s a little unfair when he gets himself killed crossing the street. Bob wakes up a century later to find that corpsicles have been declared to be without rights, and he is now the property of the state. He has been uploaded into computer hardware and is slated to be the controlling AI in an interstellar probe looking for habitable planets. The stakes are high: no less than the first claim to entire worlds.”
Sample reading:
“Dennis E Taylor is a computer programmer by day, a writer by night, and a snowboarder when in season. He has been reading science fiction for {mumble} years, and now find himself on the other end of the pen.”
I love the narration of this book and hope you decide to check it out.

Grief came to me the first time at the age of thirty when I lost my mother. This is still painful to write.

Disbelief as I stood there watching
Doctors working hard to save her, they surely would succeed
I was incredulous, this couldn’t be happening
Bag full of her requests for the hospital now dropped and strewn on the floor
I screamed to God, how can you do this?
She is faithful and kind, obeys your rules…
I’ll do anything if you just let her live.

I’m not over depression of her death even from 46 years ago. However I have accepted it because had she lived she would have been bedridden with her too weak heart and she was a woman who never sat down. She was always busy and moving.

Spring?
Supposedly it is spring here in Wyoming which really means an extension of windy cold days and snow which we had on May 1.
spring buds under snow
unpack sweaters put away
the calendar lies

Where do I begin? Is the first page a good start?
Ah yes, but first let’s research the origin of the first word.
Okay pops!
The boy opens the book and says the word: Once…

Word Craft Poetry – Breve
Love red
On heads
Might be bright curls
Bangs straight
Or plait
My mind just swirls.

Blue’s cool
In pools
So inviting
Swim fun
Add sun
It’s delighting.

Tuesday Writing Prompt Challenge
To an outsider the old man resembled a ghoul as he bent over the newborn. His dark cloak and hood to shield the infant from the rain might have been scary to see at first, but it was merely a gesture to keep the new life safe from the weather.
There was blood of course, as in all births, but not too much. Both babe and mother had been well cared for by the man. It was the stag that stood nearby in protection also, that looked fearsome to the others. The old man bent down further and set the fawn on the grass and then walked back into his own shelter. Nature could take it from there.

Simply 6 Minutes
“I say Gwendolyn, have you ever seen such a thing? It looks straight out of Grimm’s Fairytales! I think we’d better skip this part of the forest, don’t you?”
“Right Jeeves, I can only think if we venture into them we might be transported to another world, or maybe a witch’s tent!”
“Right you are, let’s go into that trail over there. I think there’s some light for an opening in the trees.”
The two adventurers stepped into another section of the forest and traveled toward a lighted section. Suddenly they stopped and grabbed each other’s hands. Ahead the light shown down on a small cottage covered with all kinds of candy and sweets. A nice looking old woman opened the door.
