No kidding, folks, I'm actually to the point I sometimes forget this blog even exists anymore. Just been busy, nothing else. Here's a quick update of life in the Blind Dog Country:
* Our cat Smokey is now having porch-door staredowns with DiDi in the Great Pet Beyond. The poor critter apparently had a stroke, making her unable to move her rear legs. My stepson got home from school and found her crying in a puddle of pee in the family room, unable to move. He got her to the vet and Mom met him there and the prognosis was, well, literally grave. They said their goodbyes tearfully. This was just over a week ago. Since, my stepdaughter has agreed to leave her cat Cuddles with us (go back to the 2008 posts--I think it's in March or April--to read a fascinating story about Cuddles) while she's honeymooning with her husband in Hawaii.
* Speaking of which, one year to the day after they eloped at the newspaper in Pittsburg where a copy editor just happened to be a licensed minister, my stepdaughter and husband are having their "official" wedding ceremony May 9. It'll have, surprise, a Hawaiian theme. Just maybe I'll put picture of it up here so you can see how we all look in our nice clean LOUD Hawaiian shirts. My wife's outfit is purple. I've never seen a purple Hawaiian shirt before, not to mention a matching skirt, but it looks nice at least hanging in the closet and should look lovely on her I'm sure. We'll see. . .
* Finally, the "publishable" version of my NaNoWriMo novel is submitted to the good people at createspace.com, meaning I'll have the proof copy in a few weeks and y'all can drop $16.00 on it through Amazon so I can have 90 cents for each copy you buy. Wow, this sounds like a promising enterprise. . . I also apparently have the option of setting up my own e-store through them so I can make much more money from suckers, er, literary enthusiasts willing to pay for a PDF the same price as sane, er, ordinary people would pay for a genuine paperback book. Any advice on getting a book REALLY published would be most welcome.
All for now--until I start my next Great American Novel, I should have more time for this silliness. Feel free to encourage (or discourage) me with comments below. :-)
