That book cover looks kind of scary......but we shall see.....

I am glad I am not the only one that thinks so.

The rest of us old farts like your stories, too, Fred.

It's only four days now,and I've already caught myself embellishing the story of the joyous photo of vixmom and BD Wong. By the time I'm 70, I suspect I'll be telling the younger generation that Skip actually took the photo. By the time I'm 95, when no one will likely recall that I was ill that night and missed the concert, I'll probably claim to have taken the photo myself.

My new book is anything but scary. It's the antithesis of scary. I really have to be careful with this one - don't want spoilers. But no, not scary, not suspense, not a thriller, not a mystery. A very human story.

I am intrigued that a couple of people think the cover is scary - something I never got or the Muse never got from it, but then again, we've read the book

The flap copy and blurbs will be very important.

Flap copy is always crucial.

Maybe dreamy is a better word than scary.....

DR GINNY the inner web is in an uproar about the skimpy NBC coverage.....I watched it on NBCSN.

Tonight is the Men's Free Skate starting at 7 p.m. on NBCSN and 8 p.m. on NBC....so we will see if they do it differently. There are a LOT of sports to cover, so they jump back and forth....on the MAIN network.

Dreamy - very good.

I shall now be on my way to an early lunch with dear reader Jeanne.

Well, I need to go to bed. I want to get to work early so that I can make up some time that I took off earlier this week.

Good night and have a good day, all!

It turns out that I didn't get to work early. Spoo.

I dilly-dallied for too long this morning and got to work at approximately my normal time.

BK, where did the picture come from? Did you have it taken and created especially for your book?

I didn't think it was scary, but my first thought was that it was some sort of fantasy.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #75 on:** February 16, 2018, 11:19:32 AM »

I didn't think of "dreamy", literally, but that is indeed the impression I picked up from it.

Maybe. Like, I'd probably be comfortable going to a doctor named Dr. McDreamy, but would do an internet search before going if I were referred to a Dr. McScary

Bruce and I had a fun lunch at John O'Groats. I had the fish and chips, as usual, and he had a sandwich, which I'll let him tell you about. We talked about the new book cover a lot. I find it quite evocative.

Sorry. I hope my reaction is in the minority.

Jeanne · « **Reply #80 on:** February 16, 2018, 01:22:32 PM »

I was, of course, very disappointed that he didn't bring me a copy. But I guess he has a lot on his mind.

Jeanne · « **Reply #81 on:** February 16, 2018, 01:24:15 PM »

I have some work to do, then I need a nap.

That it is, only for me not what Bruce intended.

I had my hair cut today and it looks very nice. We were going out to dinner tonight. Of course, since my hair looks good our plans are cancelled because of Keith's cold.

I find that when I have plenty of time I often dawdle, and I'm more likely to be running late than when time is short and I hustle.
