Monday night at 11:25 P.M. I had to step out into Northern Parkway to make the surly chocolate-domed driver stop the nearly empty bus—last bus of the night and he was going to leave me there. The cold had come to rest in the bones, the walk there had taken an extra few minutes and I needed the T-cane to board the bus. The driver was not happy to have me, so I thanked him and he glared ahead.

He must be a Facebook reader.

When he pulled into Overlea Station, an elderly black man, gaunt, bearded and semi-homeless, boarded to ask if the bus went into the city. His body temperature was dropping and he was shivering uncontrollably, only enough money in hand for one bus ride and it needed to be downtown, so he could sit over a steam grate and not die. The driver ignored him at first and after the fourth inquiry roughly told him to go across the street.

At my stop in Essex the driver stopped reluctantly, too far out from the curb for a step, too high for my knee unless I begged him to kneel the bus and I would not. I stepped out, six feet and managed to land with heel and cane on the curb, but poorly synchronized, causing my left hip to catch interior fire, flaming from kidney to toe.

The evil driver then kneeled the bus spitefully, glaring hate into my face.

I did not indulge him with a parody of walking and waited for him to pull off.

A large buck hoodrat was already darting for me, in a hurry to cut me off, coming north on Stemmers Run.

I pretended to be turning and walking west into the vacant Thrift Store lot to determine if it was I he hunted and sure enough he picked up speed and began crossing the road diagonally behind me.

I stopped and turned, eye-fucking him.

He skulked back up onto the curb on the east side of the street, in front of the other bus shelter, then backed between the wall and the shelter, peeking pensively out from under his hood.

I palmed the razor in my back pocket with my right hand and hobbled towards him across the street.

He eyed my right hand with suspicion and as I neared the curb he darted across my path and north up Stemmers Run.

I stood in the gutter and watched him go, was still watching when he peeked back over his shoulder at me after slowing and then picked up pace again, as if I could give chase.

The 16-minute walk took 32.

Winter is here again, in my bones, meaning the remaining nights at work will be a mixture of therapy and agony.

I recall, in my 20s, throwing up to 120 36-pound cases of butter across a dairy box into another clerk's hands and enjoying it. On this shift, every one of the 20 cases of butter I hefted off the pallet would drop all of my testicular mass into the opposite testicle, as if I have two dueling yoyos for balls.

I wondered aloud to Steevo, "I wonder if my balls would actually fall off without the jockstrap? You know I have to pick up the damned things to scoot out of bed or I'll sit on 'em."

Aghast, he turned and shook his head.

In the morning I negotiated with my boss to let my last 6 days stretch out over January and he agreed. In January I just need to show up and the guy I am training to replace me will heft most of the weight.

The reason I make a deal of this is my sitting time, and therefor my writing time is now limited. Last year I had a lady friend who would post guest articles for me, now I do it alone.

Looking at my writing hours over the past week, I find that the majority of my seated time is going to emails, guest articles, podcast interviews, and about 40% dedicated to writing my own material.

So I am cancelling all training, interviews, podcasts, site maintenance, socializing, etc., other than meeting my youngest son on Saturdays.

I will only check my emails on Fridays until January 2.

I will not approve comments until January 2.

I will not post guest articles until January 2.

I will not make a post here or on Lynn's site until January 2.

I will not publish any new books until January 2.

On January 2 I intend publishing:

-Let the World Fend for Itself

-The Fighting Edge

-The Logic of Steel

-The Logic of Force

During December I intend to finish:

-Thunderbird [I'll send Ishmael the PDF proof on 12/4]

-Man Gearing

-Crackerboy

-Son of a Lesser God

I have no means of electronic purchase and am unable to purchase my own books. My son does that. He is very busy, so orders are filled only on Saturday.

I would need a check or money order payable to James LaFond Mailed to my address, which I sent in the email.

The POD platform takes 2 weeks to deliver, where Amazon, who owns them, delivers in 1-5 days with free shipping if your order is over $35.

Only 10 titles may be wholesaled at a time [this has to do with contract allotments to printing houses], so I will group the books by subject in 10 volume lots below, discarding initial editions in favor of Omnibus editions. For instant, Breeder's Digest and the GQ Mugging Inquest are included in larger books, as are a few masculinity books, so will be omitted. I have rounded the retail prices up to the nearest whole dollar and then rounded the total down to the nearest $5.
