Gong the new rich prince? New Years' Honours, perhaps?
Happy new year!

Actually, I did.

So, the Pope is not the only one with the power to utter Bull.

Camy, you spent the previous two months doing heroic service on our behalf with Midnight Dude. Little wonder that you are burnt out. And what's up with berating yourself for not writing the novel you've always wanted to write in order to meet someone else's deadline for it? C'mon. Write it on your own terms, at your own pace, for your own satisfaction. How possibly could the NaNo pressure cooker be the proper setting for that?

Too late for hints, Bruin. You'll just have to suck it up and write a nice 'Thank You' for the boxed set of Susan Boyle I got you. And for Camy (Amazon ships free for quantity purchases).

Novels are a different beast altogether, and I think it makes great good sense to recognize them for the block they impose on a short story writer's kind of writing. I love your short stories, and if you can spin your particular brand of imagination out into a novella that would be peachy keen with me. I think distinctions based on word count are pretty meaningless anyway; doesn't it have more to do with how you best progress from a starting point to a finish that makes it all work? James

Amen to that.What I perceive is that you are also teaching them what being human could be like.

How does one score a free car? I'm apparently asking the expert here, and I'd sure like to try whatever it takes. Well, almost whatever. Tell me you didn't do that.BTW overheating may not be expen$ive to solve. Try at least flushing out the cooling system and putting in new coolant. You may need a new thermostat, not too costly. Find a hunky garageman to flutter those big emu eyelashes toward.James

Samples. I'm thinking Tasting Party here.

Richard, you have made a profound difference in these lives. Not only for your cast and crew, but also for your audience--and of course to yourself and those around you. I believe that is the definition of sainthood.I'm in awe.James

It's easy to forget how much fun kid sports can actually be, if the parents and coaches can supress their own competitive lusts.James

Good advice from Cole, Ele.I think if we all had sense enough we all would rush to southern California. But that would probably tip it into the sea.James

I've loved that sketch since I first saw it a year or two ago. How do the firefighters react to it?
