beer
You can censor me but you can't shut me down. Just ask my husband.
So, I went to a party. No news there.
I took pictures. No news there.
I let people draw on me. No news there.
I posted a picture of the drawing on Facebook. No news there.
Until… a few hours later when FB gave me a warning, then pulled it.
So, I’m posting the picture here.
No news there.
My new best friend, Kathleen drew that lovely anatomically correct body part, though some of the guys thought it a bit stubby and stubbly. My arm was the guinea pig for her art, as she boasted it was her forte’ in …
Supporting the Arts.
This is my friend Karen with our author pal, Jack Riggs.
not sure why I was looking past, over and above the camera… but I look as happy as I felt for Jack’s success.
Buy his book HERE. The Fireman’s Wife.
No, I wasn’t telling him how to sign the book, I think I was telling him to stay away from frou-frou Fireman type drinks.
We sat in a hot hot hot ( FIRE!) library auditorium and listened to Jack read about Cassie and Peck, and then we went here to cool down in the 20degree Hotlanta weather.
Fun change …

SHHHH. This is the secret.
You can have just as good a time for FREE at Dragon*Con.

Tax Day Pub Economics
Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and
the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their
bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something
like this:
The first four men (the poorest) would pay
nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.
So, that’s what they decided to do.
The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed
quite happy with the …
Mr. Follett makes the sexy time.
My book reading pace slowed when my friend Karen lent me this book.
It is a long one, and while interesting, I could have cut at least 50 pages out of the front section, at least another 50- 100 in the middle, and geez, what’s with the ADVERBS, Ken?
But dang, do I want William to DIE. At the hand of a woman. oh yeah.
And my my, Mr. Follett, you do write the LOVE scenes. I’ll never bath in a creek the same again. ( I know why Oprah liked this.)
Trying to finish it today so I can …
Learning from the pros.
Last night, my pal Liz and I went to hear Joshilyn Jackson speak at The Margaret Mitchell House in lovely downtown Atlanta. We arrived early- in the hot car- so we could enjoy drinks and dinner at The Vortex. Liz wanted to order the Big Naked Weenie, but settled for a veggie melt. Walking in the guy at the bar tells us pointing to the TV- “Oh man, you just missed it! The longest EVER car chase in LA.”
yeah, darn.
Double darn that the MM house wasn’t open for tours. I have almost read ALL the letters Margaret’s …
Hey, the nose thing- totally HER idea.
I wanted to buy her a tattoo- but she has commitment issues.
After yesterday/last night, I can add at least one more name to the PLACESI’VEBEENKICKEDOUTOF list. And this time- I swear- totally NOT my fault.…
Yortuk and Georg Festrunk are alive and well.
First look AT THIS.
then look at these two guys.
I’m sure they will be talking all about the “older women” errr, FOXES they found one wild and crazy night in New York City!…
The only news I read…
…talks about a place I’ve actually been- all because I was eavesdropping while backpacking– okay, I might have been a little drunk, too.

Cleaning out my purse, I found this:
A wadded up bar napkin with this story scratched in black ink:
Once upon a time in a bar far, far away
three young boys struck up their guitars and played.
It was a song about sex, about remorse, about the lack of educated women in the check-out line at the Walmart.
It made the people sad- the girls cried and the bartender poured out her soul to the man in the black hat.
Then they danced.
What’s in the bottom of your purse?
