Well, time flies. So, it is we turn our attention once more to the A-Z Challenge. I shan't bother any of you with details. The few who read this blog are quite familiar with what that entails.

| Or is that 'entrails?' Well, that's gross. |
Suffice it to say, I'll be spending most of the rest of this month writing thirty posts, which I'll put on delay. Oh, who am I kidding? I'll spend a lot of April playing catch-up.
This, of course, is time that I could spend finishing my book, Adventures of a Monetary Exchange Specialist. Sure to be ignored a bestseller, it, sadly, is only half done. Shoot, I feel like George R.R. Martin, who's been dragging his feet for well over a decade now as he writes the next chapter in The Song of Ice and Fire.

That being said, my theme this year is interesting (or otherwise) people throughout history (okay, I like history. Sue me). These won't be commonly known people, either. Meaning, I won't use "Caesar," for the letter 'A."

I'll try to keep them short with occasional bits of true facts thrown in, just to keep you guessing.
Anyway, before you go, Chris from Tilting At Windmills, commenting on my post from last week, observed about the absence of a particular picture. Well, far be it from me to ignore any request. Especially since there are very few of you who read this hideous blog in the first place.
So, without further ado, here ya go, Chris:

| In other words, fun date. |
I can't wait to see who you do choose for the letter A.
ReplyDeleteAlready written...lol.
DeleteSounds like an interesting theme. Good luck.

Thanks! Hopefully, there will be some learning involved. Probably not a whole lot, though.
DeleteGoing to be a funny month!
ReplyDeleteAnd glad I have never been that drunk...
I wish I could say the same.
DeleteJamie (jannghi.blogspot.com): Sounds like fun. I can't wait to see who you pick for your theme.
ReplyDeleteI'm going through the index of a world history book. If I spot someone who seems unfamiliar, I chose him or her. 'X' is going to be a challenge. I suppose I could go to my old standby, Xerxes, but I'd rather not.
DeleteGood luck getting them all written ahead of time. They say things go easier in April if you do. Of course, I will do the same theme I do every year, which is just to write what I normally write. Here's hoping the kiddos do something interesting in April.
ReplyDeleteThree down. Twenty-three to go? As you know, math is not my strong suit.
DeleteI love history to so im looking forward to your posts. As for that gal...she will never live it down I've been that drunk but never in a bikini but have woken in places that I have no clue how I got there. I always woke up on the couch, fully clothed. My friend would come down the stairs having had a good time( I hope). We would walk back to where we left my car. Couldn't tell you where, but far enough..lol
ReplyDeleteI really like researching obscure people, so I'm learning as well.
DeleteThe weirdest place I've woken up after tying a few too many on is a tie between wrapped around a toilet bowl and an alleyway in Naples, Italy with a rose on my lap. I was fully clothed in each instance, thankfully.
Sounds very Monty Pythonic, will give you a chance.
ReplyDeleteMy sense of humor is juvenile. I take my inspiration from, among other things, Monty Python. I hope you do visit.
Delete"Caesar' for the letter 'A'? What the...of COURSE I won't use it for the letter 'A.' Duh.
ReplyDeleteOr the letter 'C.' BTW, I chose "Caesar" for the letter "C' last year.
Just discovered your blog and love history. I look forward to your daily posts.
ReplyDeleteHistory has been a passion of mine. Also, humor. Therefore, I can't help but combine the two. I promise that there will be actual facts in my posts. The challenge is to separate which is which.
DeleteI don't see a shillelagh in that last photo. It must be my lucky day.
ReplyDeleteShe was laying on it.
DeleteRelated: Ewwwwwwwww
History always has heaps of humor.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the challenge this year.

When I read: "I won't use "Caesar," for the letter 'A'" I though this is going to be a great blog to follow. Either our sense of humors matches or our brains both misfire on a regular basis.
