[...] Lately, though, I’ve been having one of the most exceptional writing experiences of my life. I’m writing a three-act play. I figure it’s at most ten hours’ work away from being finished. I expect to have it done by the time my father arrives here this Thursday. (I wrote about my pop’s upcoming visit on my last post, My Dad, My Book, and the 2008 San Diego Book Awards.) [...]

Yes, and Whoo-Hoo, Mother’s Day is right upon us! So there may be yet stories anew to share next week! (NO, it was not my husband!)

A Dundee! I love it. I pretty much watch one episode of The Office a day. Yesterday I revelled in "Take Your Daughter To Work Day." Anyway. Dundees. Too hilarious.

Grace: That's pretty … cheap of someone, basically. Or … whatever. And yes, my phone DOES need an upgrade. But … how do you decide WHICH of the four zillion options is the right one for you? So I keep putting it off.

Hey John,
Grace here again. One Christmas I received a lovely gift from Things Treasured, or Timely Memories, or such. The gift-giver actually took a Sharpie and wrote my name on it. So much for the $5.95 cost of having it engraved, eh…

Surely your phone is due for an upgrade.

Thanks, Morse. Yeah, “I’m OK” has had such a bizzare and deeply unfortunate publishing history. It would have had a better chance if, upon finishing the mss., I’d taken it out in the backyard and buried it. Its publisher actually YANKED it from the shelves once they actally read it (!!??) and decided that it wasn’t, after all, in keeping with their traditional, conservative Christian values. So it’d be nice if the thing garnered any kind of positive attention after they basically tossed it into the garbage.

Call your dad tomorrow! Or not! But if you want to, do!

Congrats!

Remind me to call my dad tomorrow. It is his birthday, after all, and the card is already in the mail.

Big Bucks . . . .? The only 'big bucks' I've seen lately were male deer grazing in the valley! Those other 'big bucks' (green backs) seem to elude me.

I just donated 500 of my "Excuse Me, Your Unforgiveness Is Showing" books to counselling clinics to give away at no charge to their clients. I'm either nuts or a giver…..only God knows! All I know is that I get joy in the doing!

When is the book re Blessings coming out, John! Can hardy wait to read it…….
