What to Do
People keep asking when my novels will be in print. If I'm ever going to publish. Guess it's time. I'm contemplating making them available in the digital world through e readers like the Kindle, iPad, Nook, etc. I've been reading about how to go about it but apparently my attention span isn't long enough to figure it out. HELP!

Substitute Teachers .....
How come teachers are the only one who have to find substitute’s when they’re sick or just taking the day off? Have you ever noticed that? If you work at the newspaper, you don’t have to find a substitute … work goes on without you. Not with teachers. They can’t leave our kids unattended. I’ve been around my kids …. a lot … I know they can’t be left unattended.
What if your accountant had to find a substitute on the day you were meeting to work on your tax return? You wouldn’t be happy to find out he called in his barber to be his sub. What is the guy who’s in charge of launching the space shuttle had to be out on lift day? Here’s that conversation:
Head Shuttle Launch Engineer: “I’m gonna be out tomorrow, can you fill in as my sub?”
Shuttle Engineer’s Lawn Boy: “Aren’t you launching tomorrow?”
Head Shuttle Launch Engineer: “Yea, but don’t worry. It’s the last mission, anyway.”
Shuttle Engineer’s Lawn Boy: “I wish I could but I’ve gotta mow, and edge Old Lady Smith’s yard.”
“Alright, thanks anyway.”
“Maybe your pool man can sub?”
“Good idea, thanks.”
“Hey, pool man. Can you sub for me tomorrow?”
“Like, fer sure, dude. I’d love to launch the shuttle.”
This is why teachers are the only one’s who get sub’s. Actually, maybe Congress needs to get a few sub’s?
