Drinks are on me! I'm getting published! This is a first for me! Woo-Hoo! The anthology put together by Casper Pearl has met it's goal and my short story, Paint is getting published! Woo-Hoooooo! Thanks, Casper, for all of your hard work!

To Casper Pearl! Cheers!

I am sick of my back corner booth. At least for now. Think I'll take it easy and sit at the bar with a bottle of Coppola's Chardonnay and unwind. The good cheap stuff....Ah!

The men in my life said we could do whatever I wanted to do on Ma's day. So, I took them to see Dark Shadows.

Quote from Dark Shadows...Michele Pheiffer interviewing Bella Heathcote

"Do you think the sexes should be equal?"
"Heavens, no! Men would become unmanageable."

Ha! That made me (literally) laugh out loud.

Although, The Avengers quote from RD,Jr. "OK. Shawarmas after." made me laugh, too. So, go fig. You never know what might tickle your funny bone!

Feel free to chime in with any Movie Quotes that made you laugh. I'm just gonna sit here and wine.

I mean, drink wine.

Karen! How the hell are you? I was just thinking about our sail trip and your diving! I was wondering where you were and what you've been up to. Glad to see your name in the old place. I don't think jb hangs out here much. Boy, do I miss his fish fries. What's new in your world?

CONGRATULATIONS, JLMO!   WAY TO GO!   Now we all get to say we knew you when...

Line in Avengers that made me laugh out loud:  Bruce baby as The Hulk after he used Loki for a fly swatter:  'Puny god...'

Boo!

That's for anyone who just pokes their head in here.

I fell asleep in the back booth after mopping the bathroom. That's what I get for trying to spruce up this place. You'd think I'd have learned when I had the boys re-roof the place. Should have known. Cheap labor + cheap supplies = holes in a new roof. *sigh*

Pick up a glass. This round's on me. I'm getting my first royalty check! Woo-Hoo!

Thank You! I'm a real writer now! Woot!

One tall and cold one sliding your way, my friend.

My first royalty check is courtesy of a small indie house called Hance Publishing. One of my short stories was accepted for an anthology that was put together titled "The Memory Eater". It's kind of dark. Mine is one that falls in the 'humor' category.

I've been collecting rejection slips, but their numbers are very low. I haven't put forth enough effort to collect as many as I should. I keep promising myself I will.

You hanging out at the river this past summer is no surprise. With the postings you've been making, it was obvious. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

j l mo,

Congratulations on your royalty check. I ordered a copy from Amazon. This anthology was such a great idea. I've really been looking forward to reading it.

Hark!  Who boarded up this place?  The hurricane won't hit for at least another half hour!

Okay the storm is over and thanks to my trusty crowbar the boarding is down.  The roof held pretty well except for that spot over the hot tub.  Good thing no one was sleeping there.

We have to get rid of all this beer, wine and liquor so that fresh stock can be put in.  No telling what the effects of a hurricane will be on that old stuff.  Drink up.  It's all free today.

Carry on.

Give me a double Rusty Nails.  And don't let me tick off anyone that is more eloquent.

Jeannie, where would you like me to start back in reading/reviewing?  I'm confused now.

Good murning! Tell dome to get out of the hot tub. I wanted to make a planter out of it. Bring a little green in here.
