That seems so wrong. 

At least our department heads pay out of pocket each year.  In the past several years, though, there has been grumbling from them.  I imagine last year's $180-per-department head fee was a bit much. 

We were asked to avoid extravagance.  None of us were sure what was meant by that since no extravagance from past similar events sprang to memory.  One department head cosied up to Linda (chairperson) and me on different occasions to tell us she was hearing great things about the coming event.  Then she asked both of us about the budget.  We both told her we were staying well within the budget.  The more she heard about what we were doing, though, the less she believed it.

She had a great time, though!

Hi all!  Just wanted to pop in and tell you that my story was shown on the local ABC station, 28.  

Here is the link: 
http://www.abcactionnews.com/dpp/money/consumer/taking_action_for_you/left-homeless-thanks-to-a-bad-contractor-woman-gets-a-helping-hand-from-strangers

I am sorry you all will see how fat I've gotten.  I really do need to do something about it.

they will be starting on the septic tank next Tuesday.

In other news, today is Sheena's 9th birthday!  Toby and Sheena got a hamburger from McD's.

Danise:  Forgive me for not knowing this, but I want to ask if the washer/dryer extension room ever happened.  In fact, did you get the washer/dryer?  I am glad the Angie's List people came through.  I, too, hate it when folks make promises on camera but don't deliver.

Oy! I've been kicking up dirt again on Cast Recording List and now I'm getting thrashed for throwing rocks. I hate that.

Oh Elmore,  didn't your momma tell you people in glass houses should not  throw stones?

Nice Employee Appreciation Party, Ron Pulliam. Sandra's company had a Cinco de Mayo employee appreciation day today. Although it seems that the peons brought all the food, and it pretty much was scheduled so that they would be out in the field during the party, and the suits got to eat all the food.

Now that is just wrong

Watching Werner Herzog's documentary, "My Best Fiend," about Klaus Kinski. He was a great actor, but a horrible person and I'm really having trouble watching his horrific behavior, too much of which was captured on film. And by someone worked with him on numerous films. Much as I like Herzog, too, I don't understand his letting the cameras roll to record a few of these tantrums.

DR Danise,
Please let us know how the new septic works.


This cracks me up, not sure why, but how your septic is working isn't a topic i'm used to discussing

And the new book will be available for preorder by the time you finish reading this.  This is always a happy moment.


Adriana Hofstetter is back and still marching to the beat of her own sixteen-year-old band. When Hollywood High School puts on a production of The Music Man, Adriana is there doing a story for the school paper. But when Bethany Miller, a student and cast member who has an unhealthy addiction to Instagram, doesn’t come home from school and remains missing, Adriana goes on the hunt to find out what happened.
   
Talking to irritating students, baffled teachers, and doubting detectives, Adriana is having no luck piecing anything together. With each passing day looking worse for Bethany Miller, Adriana must use all her wiles in trying to solve what happened. And then she receives a note, a one-word note: Stop. And then another threatening note is left on her apartment door. Can Adriana find the culprit before the culprit comes after her?

Of course, best friend Billy Feldman is there to lend his support while playing one of the leads in The Music Man, mother Margaret is there to keep her eye on Adriana while listening to her loud, classic rock-and-roll, and Detectives Ramirez and Coyne are there to listen to and question what Adriana discovers.
   
With colorful depictions of Hollywood, Adriana’s trademark sense of humor, and a crime to be solved, Murder at The Music Man is funny, suspenseful, and a cautionary tale of addiction to social media.

Lower priced hardcover (a couple bucks cheaper than it will be elsewhere on line) is $25 plus $6 priority shipping - books ordered through Kritzerland will, of course, be signed by the author and as always there will be a little special something included.

I saw this on Facebook and I also see the same error here.

You mention the old title in the blurb

With colorful depictions of Hollywood, Adriana’s trademark sense of humor, and a crime to be solved, "Murder at The Music Man is funny, suspenseful, and a cautionary tale of addiction to social media."

Callie seemed better this noon, but tonight not so much.  She had her mad face on after we did meds  tonight so she may just be mad.  Ricky is laying next to her in her room and keeping her company.   I actually think she is doing better, I think I'll be able to tell better over the weekend

The title mistake is because I cut and pasted from the original blurb - it's only here and Facebook - it's fine on the site, which is all that matters/

Home from seeing Bullshot Crummond - it's a slight but amusing piece if done right.  This wasn't done right - game cast, lousy director.
