Day 20,306
On Saturday, the in-laws are hopeful for today’s Virginia Tech game against Marshall. The Hokies are favored by 20.5 points, so hopefully they will do better than last week when they were favored to win by 12 points and lost anyway

More doodling, this time at Blacksburg Books, while the family browses the aisles.
Another great shop in the Blacksburg zone. Hard to resist the great collection of books, stickers and miscellaneous nifty stuff.

Day 20,299
The in-laws are here, which means we are watching the Virginia Tech game. (It’s the first game of the season, versus Vanderbilt, the first time playing them in 30+ years.) It should be a good day. Tech is favored to win, and that, in turn, should put them in a good mood. 🙂 I see the Miami Hurricanes are playing the Gators later, but I am not as tied to them as the folks are to their teams.

Day 20,297
The in-laws have accomplished something I have been hoping to do: have a bear sighting! They said that it was about 200 lbs, give or take. FIL thinks it was a young one, in good health with a shiny coat, and able to move at a good clip up the hill. Watching the start of season four of only murders in the building and not grilling as planned due to rain. Looks like soup and sammiches for supper instead!

Playing with layers, making Mothman as a sort of shadowbox. FIL had his birthday last week, and maybe I should give this guy a gray mustache and a polo shirt to make him look a bit more like his counterpart in our little cryptid family.

MIL (and FIL) came into town on Sunday for @maximillian_deersteak ‘s birthday! I have often imagined her as the jackelope of our cryptid family, as she is always going at 100 mph, more a blue streak than anything else. I just do my best not to accidentally step on her or get between where she is or where she is going. We all love her dearly, and I certainly wouldn’t want to squish her underfoot accidentally.

Happiest of birthday wishes for the most beloved and amazing @maximillian_deersteak ! I love you! https://www.instagram.com/p/C_GDIwiOMwC/?igsh=Y3cyMG12bm5uYjMx
Spidey super stories- starring Medusa and Web-head with laughyer, a clock, and a bomb. What are we laughing about?
Watching Aliens for the first time in an age, last time at least 5-6 years before we got married. Random Scotto factoid, the original Alien movie was the first rated R film I ever saw in the theater as a kid, about age 9.

Day 20,287 My silly mashup mockup of Man-Thing-Thing. “Whoever knows fear burns at the touch of clobberin’ time!” Theodore Benjamin J. Sallis Grimm.

Day 20,287 – Super Blue Moon!
Here are some of the non-book goodies from our trip to @blacksburg_books last Friday. A Loveland Frogman “Live Laugh Lurk” pin from @tokuarts , and an assortment of nifty stickers, including WTF (Where’s the food) with fat tabby, Haints & Hollers Appalachia, Mothman reading on an Appalachian Prison Book Project charity sticker, and a good ol’ gnome. Actual book acquisitions to follow eventually. #cryptid #lovelandfrogman #mothman #gnome #tabbycat #haintsandhollers #wtf
Day 20,286
I heard some guys arguing the day before yesterday, but I forgot to document the prime line – one I have never heard before. “If you don’t shut up, I’m gonna roll you like a pumpkin.” What a great turn of phrase! I love it! Ridiculous , seasonal and effective. #doodle #pumpkin #rolling #rollyoulikeapumpkin #fight #pumpkinspice https://www.instagram.com/p/C-0Wk4quAhJ/?igsh=bWx1YmltajA5cGt1
Day 20,284
Full Super Blue Moon on Monday. (Day 20,287) What are all the lunatics and werecritters going to be up to this go ’round?
The last of the summertime lunacy until Autumn, I think. Are there summer monsters planning a good time to ring out the heat and say farewell to the fireflies and cicadas?

Day 20,282
I did physical therapy in the pool again this afternoon, and I am still exhausted this evening. The therapy pool is only 4 feet deep, so some of the exercises were a bit more challenging than others, as most of my upper body was out of the water for several of the different activities. I know I will feel it even more tomorrow, but it’s a good, healing ache.
