Miracle Myx Gets Patriotic

.
"The father of our country," Myx said.

"George?"

"You're on a first-name basis now with someone who's been dead for two hundred years?"

"Seems like an old friend after growing up with him and his stories," I said.

Myx was sitting atop a small metal container carrying a lock of George Washington's hair. Relics of all types have deep-seeded power with us humans. Some believe in their magical abilities, of course. But, even if they just remind us of a person, the way they lived, and the ideals that inspired them--well--what more do you want?

"Stories like throwing the coin across the Potomac," Myx said.

"Or about chopping down the cherry tree," I added.

"Dave, do you have any stories about cherries?"

"The kind you eat?"

Miracle Myx Makes A Splash

.
"Make sure I don't get wet," Myx said.

"You're fine."

"Easy for you to say over there all dry and away from the danger."

"Myx, are you calling a few drops of water danger?"

"Sounds like it, doesn't it?"

"Danger is like I went through during my interview," I said.

"Puuuuullllease don't even bring that up. You made me watch it last night, and I hope I never have to sit through anything like that again."

"It airs again, yanno," I said.

I was talking about the 1/2-hour interview I did for the Worcester cable access station WCCATV-13. I talked about MIRACLE MYX and writing. It airs again today, the 26th at 10:30 AM and 6 PM, and again on the 29th at 5:30 PM.

Watch WCCATV-13

"Now who's all wet," Myx said.

Miracle Myx Bens The Truth

.
"You were born near here, Myx," I said.

"Born?"

"Sounded good, but no. The seminal idea for your character was caused by a book I bought near here."

"You're not going to tell the story of--"

"I was drawn to a strange title at Ephraim's bookstore here in Worcester. Ephraim's was a used bookstore with piles of books everywhere--its inventory was bought out by Ben Franklin. A thin book with the title MIND OF A MNEMONIST drew my attention back then, more than 20 years ago," I said.

"By Dr. Luria and it was about--"

"A Russian man with a perfect memory because of synesthesia."

"Just like me," Myx said.

"You're Russian?" I asked.

Miracle Myx Meditates

.
"Spirituality," I said, as if that explained it all.

"Yeah, I thought you'd use that as a theme here," Myx said.

"Well, it does seem natural with you sitting atop such an iconic figure."

"Atop? Who are you trying to impress?"

"Certainly not you! Let's not argue in front of the D-E-I-T-Y," I spelled.

"Not a deity--and, do you think Gods can't spell?"

"Never know," I said. "Sometimes you want to shield your thoughts from the powers that be."

"For you, Dave, that's called prayer."

Pray, take a look at Myx's book trailer!

Miracle Myx Drums Up Business

.
"Please tell me you're not going to beat that thing," Myx said.

"I wish I had a nickel for every time--"

"Yeah, yeah--didn't see that coming!

"An upcoming review says I have an adolescent sense of humor," I said. As you can see I'm very forthcoming.

"Maybe they overestimate you, Dave. But, I say funny is funny, no matter what the context."

"You trying to sound smart with that last statement?"

"Long way between sounding and being, is it? Luckily I can do both with ease and aplomb. Now that was for sounding smart," Myx said."

"This reminds me of my favorite turkey part," I said. I thought I'd distract Myx from one of his imminent egotistical discourses.

"The neck?" Myx said in an almost bored voice.

"No--the drumstick! Get it, the--"

"Adolescent," Myx said.

Miracle Myx Gets Scooped

.
"Hold still, Myx!"

"Where would I be going?"

"I just don't want anything to ruin this great shot," I said.

"This is a great shot?" Myx asked with that tone in his voice.

"Sounded good for a moment," I said.

"Look at the rust on this thing. I wonder when it was last used?"

"Happens whenever things are abandoned, forgotten, or broken," I said.

"Dave, you used to be much wiser--and funnier!" Myx said.

"Maybe I'm just a bit rusty!"

Miracle Myx Cycles Through

.
"Makes going out for a little ride around the neighborhood seem trivial, doesn't it?"

"Hmmm?" I said with my usual razor-sharp insight.

"Major Taylor--he overcame so much to become a world champion," Myx said.

"The second black champion of any sport, after the fighter, George Dixon," I said.

"Huh? you can't steal my lines, Dave!"

"I can if I'm writing them, Myx! Why should you appear to be the smart one all the time?"

"Probably because I am the smart one, the one with the perfect memory, the one with the synesthetic mind."

Myx was getting into this.

"And what about my memory, about how I remember to put a spotlight on you and let you take center stage, and allow your antics?"

"I forgot about that," Myx said.
