Hi, everyone. I haven't been around here, in terms of posting for a while, at least, simply because I've mainly been writing and all for a while, with or without at least some AI assistance, on one or more of my writing-related projects, and I've also been doing other things of late, such as going to libraries and all for some time, at least, when and where possible.

I read a big book about the historical baseball teams in St. Louis, but unfortunately, quite a lot of bad language was periodically used in it. But it actually was a non-fiction-type book, in truth, and it had many quotes by various people associated with the Cardinals and/or the Browns, for instance. I really didn't like the profanity included in the book, and all, of course, but if one is to tell the truth about things, complete accuracy in quotations, if certain things were said all for sure, is required, to the best of one's ability to provide it here, you know.

As for my family, Dad's having mental problems, unfortunately. He's still here, of course, thankfully. But I really don't know here, just yet, exactly how much time he has left in this world, for sure, quite obviously enough. I hope he has at least a few months left, but I don't know if he has at least another year to live before he leaves this world yet, quite naturally enough.

EC, I hope your memory gets better soon, and all, for that matter. Yes, I probably would have caught that thing with your IPA dynasty a little while back, but jg2977 got to that booboo first.

As for me, it looks like I am now a deck of cards, in a manner of speaking, in terms of how old I am as of today, hahahaha. Meaning I'm 52, in truth. I've mainly been working on my story-related projects, when possible, lately, when not going to the library or to a fitness center to shoot some hoops for a bit or hitting the shops or something. Unfortunately, my right arm still gives me trouble at times, so my shots are often off-target or not strong enough when I'm trying to shoot hoops for a bit. I've probably not got a good shooting eye, or at least I've not often done a lot of, or any, shooting hoops, for many long years, since I was at least still in my forties or thirties or twenties or something, I think.

I'll most likely be posting a new graphics request soon, perhaps within the next 24 hours, if not within a few hours, of this very post here. I know it'll probably take a while for the existing graphics modders still active here to create enough of the required things around here. But maybe by April or so, around here, I'll ultimately be able to create a new saved game somehow, in order to incorporate such graphics, if not even sooner than that, if all goes sufficiently according to plan here, somehow, Lord willing and all, of course.

I've also just begun to learn Portuguese, Danish, Dutch, AND Chinese on Duolingo, to go along with my other foreign language courses of Spanish, French, Hebrew, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Scots Gaelic, and Swahili for it. Of course, the Chinese used in the related language course is of the Pinyin variety, not the Wade-Giles variety, for instance. And the strokes are hard to remember, as well. I'm still most advanced with Spanish. But I've also learned at least some French, at least, among other languages I've been learning on Duolingo for quite some time in my life. It's at least a little bit challenging to learn some languages, of course, on it, but I'm still pressing on with learning them, as best as I can and all, for sure.

I'll talk more soon here, I'm fairly sure, folks. But for now, this birthday boy has to eat his supper, at least, in any case, most definitely. It's been a rather challenging 52 years for me in my own life on this planet of ours, in many ways, at times, of course. But thankfully, I'm still around somehow in this world of ours, by the amazing grace and the undeserved mercy of Almighty God above, my Heavenly Father, extended to this unworthy sinner that I am, by the Blood of Jesus that makes me a part of God's Eternal Kingdom and Family forever, no doubt. CD out.
