Free ebook coming soon!

YAY! Folks are signing up to download a free e-copy of my e-book on their computers, cell phones, and Kindles. I don't know the date yet, but there will be a short window in time (maybe 3 days?) for you to go to Amazon and download it. 

"How are you going to make money if you give it away?" you ask. That's easy!  I'm hoping you'll LOVE the book ... and tell your friends to go buy it! And if you happen to feel like leaving me a review on Amazon.com, well, that would be great!

No Plants Please

The ladies asked how I like living in an apartment. Hey, I have people who change the light bulbs for me. What more can I say? A house ties you down. I can go anywhere any time. They asked if I had a pet. Hadn’t I just implied that I am anti-responsibility? I do not have a pet. I do not want a pet. I do not want a plant. I have one, but it’s okay with long droughts.

Long Distance Dating

I was talking to the ladies at the circle lunch today, some of whom know I’m dating someone who lives in Florida. I live in North Carolina. When Carol heard this, her first reaction was, “So when is he moving to Raleigh?”

People seem to think that the objective of a long distance relationship is to get married and live together, or at least to live in the same state. But we like it. We get along a lot better this way.

Got my LCCN today!

Whoopee! I got my LCCN (Library of Congress Control Number) today for my new book:

TAKING LIFE … NOT TOO SERIOUSLY

a woman, a quirky mouse named Hugh, and a life a half bubble off center just like the rest of us

I guessed that “LCCN” probably wasn’t a text abbreviation for “Larry Can’t Count Nothing,” so I looked it up. (What would I do without Wikipedia?) I still don’t know for sure, but I think librarians use it to find your book if you aren’t able to find it by yourself. That’s when you walk up to the librarian’s desk and say, “ICFN,” for “I Can’t Find Nothing.”

I have heard of ISB (International Standard Book) numbers and DDC (Dewey Decimal Classification) numbers, too. And now there’s an LCC number.

Like Scarlett said, “Oh, I can’t think about this now! I’ll go crazy if I do! I’ll think about it tomorrow. But I must think about it. I must think about it. What is there to do?”
