Spring Break

Prompted from a lunch conversation over Gyros, this little blog is quickly approaching it’s 6-month anniversary and ready to celebrate it’s 1300 hits. I’ve been thinking about the appropriate way to celebrate this occurrence and I’ve decided to take the New Years Eve approach—small noise maker followed by some much needed sleep.

I’m taking a mini-sabbatical for the next few weeks to read a few books, teach the kids about sand, and show them the ocean in person. Also, I want to collect my thoughts and see what builds up in my head. I have an illogical optimism about these types of grand results.



When I opened up my Time Magazine to find 100 of the most likely candidates for the PERSON OF THE YEAR award, I was a little shocked not to find my picture. Not that I’ve done anything globally noteworthy, but it would be nice to be nominated. This is the same type of surprise that I experience each year as I’m watching the NBA draft and I’m not selected. I’ve got good floor awareness, I can defend the back door cut, and the Knicks can’t get any worse. I could help.

Anyway, I’m taking a little break from the world of online publishing. If you haven’t already subscribed with and RSS Reader or via Email, now is a good time so you don’t miss anything in early May.

PEACE!!!!!

ps—TIME is taking nominations for new candidates.

Believe in Magic

Today I have a previously unpublished essay entitled HOUSE OF MAGIC posted on Indie Blogger. The essay is a flushed out idea based on an earlier Thought Nugget. Stop over and take a look. Hope you enjoy.

Next Generation of Book Promos

One of my favorite authors has a new book coming out April 15th. Being the addict that I am, I already had plans to buy the book when it came out. Apparently, there are trailers for books now and this one looks good.



Harlan is the real deal. I found his Myron book series about 5 years and went on a bender until I caught up on all the books. I met him a few years back on a book tour look forward to each new release. If he's new to you, check him out.
