Okay, like seven years, but who&#8217;s counting. I have a squiffy new website created by Brad Hawkins. It&#8217;s swell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wish I had a good reason, or at least a clever one, for not blogging, but I don&#8217;t. I am lazy. That&#8217;s right, lazy as the day is long.  It takes a lot of effort to be this lazy.  It&#8217;s a full time job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the last seven years, I have published some stories in the Wild Cards series.  Okay, more than a few, and that&#8217;s kept me busy. But really, it&#8217;s just an excuse to be lazy.  I abuse the I&#8217;m-on-deadline to do lazy stuff way too much. Because, lazy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I type this, I have a rather adorable kitten on my lap. He&#8217;s a new addition to house. He&#8217;s also lazy. Okay, he&#8217;s a cat, but still&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/carolinespector.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/CEB0EDCB-2016-4AF4-AB05-95C227D74041-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carolinespector.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/CEB0EDCB-2016-4AF4-AB05-95C227D74041-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/carolinespector.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/CEB0EDCB-2016-4AF4-AB05-95C227D74041-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/carolinespector.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/CEB0EDCB-2016-4AF4-AB05-95C227D74041-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/carolinespector.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/CEB0EDCB-2016-4AF4-AB05-95C227D74041.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Kitten on a dryer. Cute as hell,  and it helps with static cling.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s not that active now, but this pic is far more squee-worthy. Also, it allows me to post a cute kitten pic because you always need a cute kitten pic on your website. Also, you can winge about how hard it is to type with said kitten in your lap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again, the laziness takes over.  &#8220;Whadda I do here? Cute cat pic!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, my goal here is to start blogging more regularly.  New leaf and all that. I really will get after it. As soon as I take my nap.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"I&#039;m Tired Madeline Kahn   Blazing Saddles\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Uai7M4RpoLU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>How do I do it?
