If you feel like remembering the Alamo, just get it done and move on.

I’m having a debate with myself right now. Do I want Chinese food for dinner or a cheeeburger and fries from McDonald’s? I’ve been craving both of them for the last few days, believe it or not. As soon as Sam wakes up from his late afternoon nap — which started out as an early afternoon nap — I’ll let him know what I want for dinner. In the meantime I’ll just lie here in bed diddling with the Howdygram and trying to pretend that I’m not having a hard time breathing today. (Arrgh! You guessed it … this is horrible.) When he wakes up I’ll ask Sam to increase the volume on my oxygen concentrator. It’s currently set at “level 6” and can go as high as “10.” (After that I’d need a stronger concentrator.)



This has been an amazing day for free fonts, mostly because I’ve got a swell herd of fabulous layered fonts for you … six of them! Today’s list also includes wonderful display fonts (“Versica,” “Analeigh,” “Banana Pancakes”), pretty scripts (“Spalding,” “Julietta”) and hand-drawn fonts (“Sourwood”). I’ll include download links after the font list, okay?


But wait … there’s more! In addition to the swell new fonts pictured above, I’ve also got an interesting collection of new dingbats fonts for you. I love these, especially “Bat Fight,” “MF-26 Banners” and “Woman Faces.” Download links appear below, too. Enjoy!




Thought you might like to see a couple of terrific collections of high-resolution digital images that I bought a few minutes ago on Etsy. On sale, naturally.

I can’t wait to use them for iPhone cases. throw pillows and greeting cards that I’ll sell from The Howdygram Store.




It’s a nice, quiet Thursday night here. I’ve been having some lousy body temperature swings for the last few hours (hot and cold, hot and cold, hot and cold … you get my drift) and finally just kicked off my blanket to try and get comfortable. It’s not working, though, because I still feel like crap. I’m not really in any pain, mind you … just miserable! To help, Sam just slapped a cold wet rag on my head. Blecch.

I’ve been amusing myself with various movies and TV entertainment tonight. Sam and I watched Death at a Funeral (2007) starring Matthew Macfadyen and Keeley Hawes, the last half of Wee Willie Winkie (1937) starring Shirley Temple and C. Aubrey Smith, On with the Show (1929) a very early talkie starring Joe E. Brown, and several “Bar Rescue” reruns. I may have to ask for a snack now and watch another movie (I can’t eat when I’m typing) … possibly our old favorite standby, Panic in the Streets (1951) starring Richard Widmark and Paul Douglas, the story of a police captain and public health official who race against the clock to stop an epidemic of pneumonic plague in New Orleans. This is especially meaningful right now … think COVID-19!



Night-night y’all, and thank you for reading this. If you feel like remembering the Alamo, just get it done and move on, okay?
