A very happy birthday to the Vixter who is in no way 29 years of age. This is a hoax. Don't fall for it, people.

I just played a show, and drove an hour each way, on about four hours of sleep last night.

There is going to be a NAP in my afternoon, come HELL or high water. Well, I'd better not say that -- right?

Ron, I had a haircut this week. I was 2.5 years overdue.

A plea for book recommendations for Mom. She loved A Gentleman in Moscow. She would not like The Lincoln Highway. She loved the book that you recommended, Ginny, about the blue people of Kentucky.

And a very happy birthday to the Vixter!

Thank you on her behalf!



I hope everyone is sitting down …..


I have some shocking news






















She’s 29 today

:))  Really shocking is when your kid reaches 40, and then it just becomes more shocking each year.

I had a nice two-hour nap after I finished the laundry. Stella curled up beside me, rested her head in the palm of my hand, and napped with me.

I see all this talk of hand pies on the Internet. Hand pies.

Why the discrimination?

Why not foot pies and elbow pies?

These are the things I ponder.

This is 11-month old 33-lb Skittles. The New York ACC is going to kill him because no one has adopted him. I would do anything to save him but I cannot. Send prayers for his adoption.

There were two similar books out about the same time.  If it was The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek, there is now a sequel out called The Book Woman's Daughter.  These books are by Kim Michele Richardson.

elmore, not only contact the dealer and then return the book, then contact the ABE itself and let them know this dealer apparently doesn't understand that ex-library copies must be noted as such in any description and you certainly can't call it "very good" - or you could say, "other than that it's very good."

Happily, the galley and covers were ready for me in an e-mail. Doug has signed off on the covers and I'm waiting for Grant to eyeball the galley.

Thank you. It was. Ginny recommended it. Both Mom and I enjoyed it.

Dinner last night was very nice.  We all agreed our meals were exceptionally good.

It is such a treat to have a good restaurant within a five minute walk. Since it was raining we took the short way over, and walked the extra few minutes along the river to return home.

Since someone will ask.....
I had the mushroom, brown rice burger on their house made bun.  Instead of fries or salad, I splurged and had mashed potatoes.  Keith & our friend had the sturgeon special, which they both raved about.  His wife had a steakhouse salad.

We shared the dessert, a gift for Keith's belated birthday celebration, was a delicious gooey butter cake.

DR JOHN G my misgivings were premature.  The meatloaf looks relief map of Hiroshima - but it doesn't take bad at all.  So I will just look away while it eat.
