Volume 216: January 22, 2023
Hello fellow Accomplice!
Okay, feeling a tad all Hangdog-ish this fine day. After all, there are two (Count ‘em: TWO!!!!) I Want My Hours Back(s) in this issue.
How on Earth do I cope?!
Why, Sweet Drake and I shall just look at y’all with Sad Puppy Eyes and leave it all to you.
It’s all good: I’m saaaaaving the World from Time Wasted, so Huzzah!
May you find something to your liking!

Kinda feeling all over the place once again, but here goes!
I’m starting with the Winner (By ooooone vote!) of My Next Listen and following it with a (Hopefully…) awesome journey through America in the vein of Travels With Charley (Huzzah for canine traveling companions!).
Then off to a kinda sorta possssibly devastating work, and after that?
Oh MUST have a jaunty look at an irrepressible heroine!
Yay and Do Join Me!
Details for the audiobooks are on the Listening to Now page.
In times of Uncertainty…
When p’raps Moods Are Swinging Violently…?
Why, there’s always the AWESOMENESS of music. It soothes, it inspires, it can jolly-well save ya! So I’m considering the stories behind the music, the stories behind the musicians. Will it get ugly… dunno, but it’s practically certain to make for intense and personal Listening.
That’s the plan anyhoo.
Won’t ya help a gal in Uncertain Times out by voting now and voting often?
Details for the audiobooks are at Tell Me What’s Next. Feel free to also suggest another audiobook for future review.
