Happy Birthday Dad

Hi all you wonderful people out there in the real world.

I just want to give a sincere
"Happy Birthday"
to my Dad who will be 88 years old on September 30th.

I am petitioning the Federal Government at this very moment to make it a National Holiday.

I haven't heard back from the President yet,
but I'm confident that we will soon have another day off from work to celebrate a meaningful or is it a meaningless Holiday.

Happy Birthday Dad.

That is my story and I am sticking to it!

Hello Again My Faithful Friends.

I received some interesting news yesterday about self publishing.

If you don't have a well established fan base reading your material,
to an Agent,
it looks as though no one is interested in your work.

You are better off submitting your stories to an agent
and avoid the self publishing route altogether.

Now I have to decide if I'm going to self publish my latest story or shop it around.

The fifteen or so followers that did purchase my last manuscript are expecting a new release soon,
since I told them I would have one coming out this fall.

I would hate to disappoint anyone.

Decisions,
decisions,
decisions.

What should a young droog like myself do with such a confusing conundrum?

Well,
you droogies and droogets,
I'll sleep on it.

My Faithful Companions

My younger sister,
who will remain nameless to protect the innocent,
visited this Blog the other day.

Hallelujah,
a member of my immediate family actually took the time to give me a little support.

Do I sound bitter here?
I hope not.

Well,
I'm not giving my family enough credit.

My sister
and brother
are just now entering the home stretch as far as raising a family goes.

I was the lucky one out of the bunch who was able to retire at the ripe old age of fifty-three.

(Ha-Ha)

I would like to thank my sister,
for taking the time out of her busy schedule,
she's a teacher don't you know,
to visit my Blog and actually comment on it.

Oh,
she didn't comment on the Blog itself.

No,
she had to send me a separate email to tell me what she thought.

What a little trooper!

And,

"Many toxic parents compare one sibling unfavorably with another to make the target child feel that he's not doing enough to gain parental affection. This motivates the child to do whatever the parents want in order to regain their favor. This divide-and-conquer technique is often unleashed against children who become a little too independent, threatening the balance of the family system.”
