Miracle Myx Locks Up

.
"You subject's a little bit derogatory," Myx said.

"That's where I give it a little twisteroo ... a play on words."

"When, in MIRACLE MYX, do I ever lock up?"

"I see your point," I said. "You always have the next step figured out--something that actually unlocks the situation."

"So, you're gonna change the subject to something like 'MIRACLE MYX Picks Another,'" Myx said.

"Errr ... no," I said. "Although, in the book, you do make an awful good point about how to get a lock to work, and--"

"You know what point I'd like to see in you, Dave"

"What's that?" This couldn't be good.

"Lockjaw!" Myx seemed pleased with himself.

Miracle Myx Cyles Through

.
"This seat is uncomfortable," Myx said.

"As opposed to a cactus?"

"Hmmm. Maybe I can rethink this."

We were at the side of a local bike/walking path. This "art" piece had recently been installed. I, like you probably, have no idea what effect the officials in charge are going for.

"Nice color, don't you think, Myx?"

"You're baiting me, Dave."

"I didn't put one bicycle in MIRACLE MYX," I said.

"Not that I couldn't ride one if given the chance. How do I look up here?"

"Uncomfortable," I said.

Miracle Myx Gets The Massage

.
"Do you think my subject title is cute, Myx?"

"It's so obvious: "massage" and "message."

"Obvious is bad?"

"Cuteness is based on surprise, recognition of the play on words," Myx said. "This barely cuts the cute barrier."

"I'll take your word for there being such a barrier. How do you like this setting? All comfy there. I hope you don't just drop off to sleep," I said.

We were at the sumptuous digs of Stella Dieci Mini Spa, and Myx was occupying one of the many comfortable massage tables.

"I love it here," Myx said, affecting a dozy voice. "But, as you well know, Dave--I haven't slept in over 3 years--so don't look for me to drop off soon.

"Must have it's drawbacks--not sleeping."

"It does give me time for other things," Myx said. He was leading me on, I knew.

"Like what?"

"Like coming up with a really cute subject title--if I wanted!"

Miracle Myx Makes Tracks

.
"Feel that?" Myx asked.

"Not feeling anything but the cool breeze, Myx."

"The rumbling, the ground vibrating--you're telling me you don't feel that?

"Nope. Quit the jitters--it's unmanly," I said.

"What do you know about being manly, Dave"

"I've read stuff," I said.

"Get me off the tracks and I'll tell all our readers all your good qualities," Myx said.

"Myx, you know I'm much too modest for that! And--we don't have that kind of time!"

"Was that a whistle?" Myx shouted.

Miracle Myx Lasers In

.
"Let me get that freckle for you, Dave," Myx offered.

"I'll just be fine without any treatment, Myx."

"You know what else they use the ol' Q-Yag 5 for?"

"Do I have to know?"

"Only if you want to tie it into MIRACLE MYX in the vague and tenuous way you usually do," Myx said.

"NOW you got my interest, Myx--roll on, my friend!"

"This is a cosmetic laser, Dave. It can be used to remove skin lesions, but--more importantly to us ...?"

Myx was giving me an opening here, but nothing was coming to me, even though I knew it should be obvious.

"Errr...." was all I could come up with.

"Tattoo removal, Dave. Tattoos!"

"Tattoos are clues in MIRACLE MYX," I said. "They were removed in a whole different way in the book."

"Yeah," said Myx, "they were--"

"I wonder if that thing works on book covers," I added before Myx could give away any of the story's secrets.

"Errr...." It was Myx's turn to be speechless.

Miracle Myx Tattoos

.
"Cold and dark," Myx said.

It was 4:30 am. But I thought this was the perfect time to get a photo of blazing neon without drawing any attention or distractions.

"And early," Myx added.

"When does early mean anything to you, Myx; you never sleep."

"I meant for you--although you already ran today, didn't you?"

"Yep! Run and done," I replied with a sense of accomplishment. I had a 30-year plus running streak going. Hadn't missed a day in all that time.

"Tattoos," Myx said. He was giving me an opening to explain.

"Yeah--they play a big part in MIRACLE MYX. They're clues and stuff."

"And stuff! Well said, Dave. Sheesh!"

Miracle Myx Needs Hugs

.
"I didn't even get her name," Myx said.

"She wanted to remain anonymous," I said.

"You could have gotten her name at least."

"Well--I did this on the run, yanno. I saw her tattoo and wanted to get you two together," I said.

"I like it; it's graceful, stylish, and artfully done. She told me it's two people dancing," Myx announced.

"Where was I when she was telling you that?"

"You're always there, Dave--but you don't always listen!"

"Yeah--I have other duties while you're getting up close and personal," I said. Myx sometimes ... OK, all the time, looks at things from a Myx-o-centric universe point of view.

"Getting a hug like this--inside and warm--is much better than where you usually deposit me."

"I agree," I said, "and the tattoo reminds me of yours on your--"

"Maybe you should let readers find out about that interesting fact while unraveling the mystery of MIRACLE MYX."

"Maybe your right; now quit snuggling and say 'tat' when I nod."

I snapped this pic.

Miracle Myx Meets Courtney

.
"See--now that's what I'm talking about!"

Myx sounded happy. Always a relief when we're out on yet another adventure--looking for a fun and interesting setting.

"You actually liked posing with Courtney?" I might as well give Myx a chance to verbalize his contentment. It might even carry over to future photo shoots and cut down on his incessant complaining. Maybe Myx would even look forward to going out when I pull him off the shelf as I leave the house.

"Like it? Of course I liked it! She was all over me!" Myx said.

"Myx, Courtney graciously agreed to pose with you. She's really looking forward to reading all about your exploits in Miracle, Massachusetts."

"Did you see how she's holding me?"

Myx could let his imagination run ahead of him a bit sometimes. But, with his synesthesia--his mingling of senses to give him different perceptions than most of us have--who knows what he was feeling.

"Holding you ...? Yeah, like a book ... I mean talk about tattoos, Myx." Courtney had some beautiful tattoos, and I chose to showcase the one on her left arm.

"Huh? Oh yeah--in MIRACLE MYX, tattoos play an important part of the story--and really are clues to the whole thing."

"See how easy that was," I said.

"She was all over me!" Myx whispered.
