Yesterday was Super Bowl Sunday and while it looked like a blow out to start with the game turned around after a power failure and the Niners made it close. I turned it during the half time show as Beyonce was taking the stage, the puppy bowl seemed much more interesting and was.
Commercial wise it was decent. My favorite was a Paul Harvey essay on farmers during a truck commercial. I miss Paul Harvey, he seemed to be the everyman of his day. If Normal Rockwell was the painter of common everyday life then Paul Harvey was the philosopher of the common man.
I'm sure you can find the commercial on You Tube if not many of his essays. The one Rest of the Story that always sticks out to me was his story about Helen Keller who was a dedicated communist. We happened to have been studying Helen Keller in school during that time and I recorded it and brought it in to listen to. It had a shocking effect of disbelief as I recall. The teacher really didn't want to discuss it, I suspect she might have been a communist sympathizer. It was the only class I ever flunked in my school career.
I had forgotten all about that until I heard his voice during the commercial. Wow, what a memory. Funny how they come and go like that.

On The Way
Alright, the beta readers have been secured.
I hired a graphic artist after Thing 2 simply didn't have the time to do the work.
He happens to be the son of one of my cousins. So I'll still be paying family to handle the work. He's pretty darn good too!
When my beta readers give me their critiques I'll evaluate them and rewrite the first draft to a draft that's much better and ready for publishing! I should be able to have it ready by March if things go well.
This will be a fun chapter to write, so to speak and I'm excited about a few other stories I've got rolling around in my head!

I'm Back!
That's right, my project has come to fruition recently and now I've got the time and energy to blog once again. I stopped blogging months ago for a reason. I was going to write a novel.
I did.
I didn't have time in the mornings to write both a novel and come up with a daily blog post. To start with I purchased a book called 90 Day Novel: Unlocking The Story Within.
Following it to the letter, well for the most part, I wrote away. An extra hour each morning, mostly anyway. When I was writing heavy I could hit the two thousand word mark but mostly I averaged about thirteen hundred words a morning.
I'm aiming for the self published world as I'm not planning on making a career out of this and it's really the easiest way for family and friends to access my work should they be so kind.
I mean I could set at home and email out Word .doc files but really who's going to be interested other than family and friends? Most of them will be kind enough to download it and maybe read a chapter or two before giving up thus politely saying they enjoyed it.
Believe me I've got no illusions as to the worth of this novel however it's a story I wanted to tell. This will never be confused with the work of a real author, believe me. It's a lot of pop culture bantering and a fantastical setting that I feel I'd be comfortable in.
The characters are what I spent the most time developing and the story really takes a back seat to them. After rereading it I can say the ending felt a bit tacked on so I rewrote a bit of it and added some more stuff. I'm not sure if it worked well or not but that's not really up to me, I can say I'm happy with it though and really couldn't end it any other way with my characters and the situation they were in. Well in my view anyway, you may see it differently.
I've also got no illusions about the genre I chose. The Zombie Apocalypse genre is almost as overcrowded as the Vampire genre was in the mid-90's.
The format is always the same though:
1. Unassuming, innocent day.
2. People get sick.
3. Sick people bite more people.
4. Survivors struggle to find refuge and safety.
With very few variations that's how they all go and I've read more than my fair share so I decided to add a few slight alterations to my story without making it totally self aware and thus a satirical joke.
There are good parts and bad parts of this story but it's my first attempt at serious writing so as a first effort I know there's plenty and plenty of room to grow my skills and develop a better style of writing.
So why isn't it available right now? Easy, it's not formatted yet. Honestly it should be easy but for some reason I'm not grasping it. Once it is formatted though and I've secured cover art for it then it'll be uploaded and published!
I'm not sure how long that will take but it'll happen when it's ready to happen.
So in short, I'm blogging again. I'm not sure if it'll be daily as it once was as I'm really out of the habit but I'll do my best to keep it interesting.
By the way, if you'd like to offer your time to become a beta reader and offer feedback on the weaker points of the story. Email me, you're hired!

Amazing Experience!
My Wife pulled off a huge success today! She took a group of untested teens and younger to a theatre contest and they brought down the house!
They had three judges there, they were famous for theatre success and had Broadway directing experience. One judge had taken his show to this same contest and wound up winning the international competition.
After performing your show then the judges come down while the cast sits on the front row and they give you show notes. My wife was called "An excellent director", "Congratulations on a wonderful and fun show", and had practically everything good to say to our cast.
Let me set this scene a little, the show that went on before ours and after ours didn't have such kind remarks.
Our show was interrupted several times by thundering applause and laughter! This show that My Wife, GhoulGal, and Teehee put together was simply amazing! When you consider that we rehearsed in the lobby, didn't have a full cast and barely had enough to put on the show we could while doubling up some roles, rehearsed with lights for the very first time yesterday on the competition stage and that was only the second time of rehearsing on stage period, the limited experience at least half of the kids had while for a few it was their very first experience at all, and this was done during summer camp season! The full cast wasn't there for rehearsal four or five of the six weeks!
When you consider all of that AND add that our teens were competing against regular season adult shows they simply rocked this show! No other way to say it! They did their director's proud!
I'm very proud of my wife for taking the time to bring this show to the stage, it'll be an experience that will not soon be forgotten by me or the cast! Sunday we find out what if anything we've won. I feel great about our chances of bringing home some excellent awards for our troupe!

First Friday Cabaret
Yes this is one of my infrequent blog posts while my project is underway for the next three months.
I have to blog special occasions and this one is special!
My Baby and Piano Genius rocked cabaret last night! To a standing room only audience too! They played for nearly a full hour and had massive ovations after every song and music number! I was so proud of both of them and especially the song that Thing 2 joined them on, Louisana. Her violin cried while My Honey provided the soulful voice and Piano Genius provided the core of the sad song.
The story is about a flood in Louisiana in 1927 and six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline. Such a deep and soulful song that really brought the house down!
The night was amazing! They did so well!

The Blog Posts Will Be Sporadic
Over the next few months the blog will be very sporadic. I'm working on something in the mornings now and that'll take away from my blogging for now. Over the past month they've been pretty hit and miss anyway and that's one of the reasons.
So for now something else demands my morning attention and I might go a week or more without blogging. I'll return to my regular blogging schedule eventually though!

Monday Monday
Here we go again folks! A short work week for the wonderful Fourth of July! The day in which our Founding Fathers decided to break away from England and venture forth upon a new path of governing!
Come on Wednesday! Looking forward to a day off in the middle of the week! Yeah it'll be hot at work today, I'll have a lot to do and I'll sweat so much that I'll feel grimy and dirty for days but I'll make it through, come home after and enjoy my Honey this evening!
That's enough to get me through today!
Last night My Honey saved the Theatre from burning down! She was there when things went Bang! It seemed the AC unit had blown up so she went around and checked the breakers and then called the power company. Good thing! With the heat the way it is I wouldn't be surprised if the power grid downtown just went up in smoke!
I'll have to talk to her today about what happened as I was sound asleep when she got home from rehearsal.

It's Running!
The pool is running away! The filter works fine, the new pump is a work horse, and now I'm filling up to the right amount! I'll go chemical shopping today and then it's all done! The triple digit heat will mean nothing anymore!
The girls and My Honey are happy and that's what is important:) There is now a way to cool off in the hot sun and feel refreshed! That's the goal!

The Pool Days
Today will mark the first time in roughly ten years my pool in the back yard will be operational. Fully operational. It's nearly full now. My neighbor happens to work on pools for a living and this year we actually have the funds to do some minor repairs and get a pump and get the filter going.
The last pump was pretty old and locked up and after looking at the prices I decided it wasn't worth it. However my neighbor happens to have a newer pump and we just purchased it. He'll be over when it starts to cool off and we'll get things lined out!
The pool has been shocked and via a submerge able pump the water is circulating as it's filling. During the hundred plus degree days to come it'll be very nice!
So the pool days are now upon us!

Chief Justice Roberts
As we made it through this triple digit week we now find ourselves on the verge of a weekend! Yeah it'll be a busy weekend but you know something? It's forty eight hours off and not at work! My oven of a shop will stay unused for the next two days and I won't be there!
Well yesterday something pretty big happened. Obamacare was upheld by the supreme court. Chief Justice John Roberts was the surprise swing vote in this case. A shock to everyone however as this article points out this might have been a crazy brilliant gambit that will allow everything to happen just as the conservatives want to happen and boil liberal frogs one degree at a time.
I'd say if Chief Justice Roberts thought along these lines then he without a doubt set the table for conservative win after conservative win for decades. What's even more important to remember is that the next president will be selecting two if not three justices in the next eight years. The dreaded Ginsburg is hanging in there but she will retire in the next eight years, Stephen Bryer is in his seventies. Kennedy is in his mid seventies as well and he usually sides with the liberal wing. The third could very well be a conservative judge in either Thomas or Scalia.
It's not all bad, and if this is accurate as I said above, it could be political gold for the long term. Obama is now forced to call his mandate a tax and that tax is now leveled on mainly lower and middle income families that can't afford to purchase health insurance. It won't bother those that have insurance or those that can afford it in the least. It's a gigantic tax though on those that can't afford health insurance and now it's unavoidable that Obama has to run on that.

Today Is The Day
This is the day that will make or break the present president of the United States. Today his legacy will be determined and he'll go down as a Carter or a better Carter (who by the way has been criticizing Obama about the drone strikes, if you have Jimmy Cater criticizing you about something you know you're doing something right) either way Obama will be compared to that failed presidency.
Today the Affordable Care Act will be ruled unconstitutional by the supreme court. No one knows how much will be struck down right now but if the individual mandate is struck down then the whole thing will fail. Obama will be wearing his bruises for a while as he heads into his campaign trail rhetoric.
Believe me, he and his cronies believe it'll stay intact. I believe it'll at least be gutted enough to where it'll be ineffective if not outright struck down. Then there is no way in the world where this congress will get something passed before the election. If the law stands then it'll be repealed if Romney is elected. Well that's what he says anyway. I really don't trust Romney that much and think he might wind up as Obama light but time will tell.
Regardless of what happens today it'll be interesting and it'll make a difference one way or the other for every single American. Whether you'll be forced to buy health insurance or pay a fine if you don't. Today is the day that I feel Obama will go up in smoke and have a hard time recovering from.

Bring It Heat!
One of my coworkers and I might have discovered the perfect summer lunch meal. Seven layer dip.
It's easy to make, filling, and very tasty! You don't have to cook it, it's served cold and in my hot oven of a shop that's the best thing about eating something cold!
I made up a dip last night, it's actually eight layers though: refried beans, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, cheese, olives, jalapenos, and for a topper, bacon bits! Yes, this will feed me the rest of the week and possibly into the hottest times of the summer!
I'm ready now for what the summer brings! I was just about sandwiched out anyway. This will be good for a long time though!

Dog Days
Even though summer has officially just begun last week we are in the heat of it. The triple digit temperatures are here for a while. They are relentless and won't let up until the occasional front moves in, likely on accident or we get the very rare summer thunderstorm.
Yeah we will be mired in the heat, broiled, sauteed, and fried. My shop is pretty much a convection oven in the summer time. It's nice and toasty in the winter though. I was pretty sweaty at work yesterday, drenched in fact but when I got into the office to cool off it felt darn good. I stood under the fan, practically our only source of AC as we are on the end of the line when it comes to getting cold air pumped in. There just isn't much left by the time it gets to us.
I dread summers in our shop. I'll keep the powerade close by and plenty of water with me though. We'll knock this summer out too!

Heat Problems
So earlier in the week the heat was starting to get to me. It hit me harder on Friday, Saturday I was filling ill, and then yesterday it knocked me for a loop. I hydrate all the time. Problem this time is that I probably hydrated too much with just water perhaps and had sweated all of my salt away. I felt super weak yesterday, got dizzy easily, and just felt horrible.
Thankfully My Honey came to the rescue, she got me some powerade! That actually helped me to start to feel a lot better! I stayed in bed though for the remainder of the evening but yeah I feel almost decent this morning. I've got another two powerades in the fridge and I'm taking one to work
I don't feel as weak this morning. Hopefully I'm recovered, I'm feeling like it!

Day Off
I took a day off from the blog yesterday. I napped a bit. My Love had a big event last night and she did an outstanding job as the Emcee for the Texaco Country Showdown! Great job honey! I'm very proud of you!
Other than that I was out of sorts most of the day and into the night. I didn't feel right at all. I finally left the Showdown and came home where I tossed my cookies from the day and headed for the couch to recuperate. My Love found me when she got home and helped me to bed.
I'm feeling a bit better this morning, not all good yet but better. Hopefully the day will be better to me than yesterday.

Wait 'Til Next Year
Today Thunder fans will join the familiar turf usually inhabited by Cubs fans as they pack up the remains of their season and head home. Cubs fans usually are just hoping for a win now and then while the Thunder will be anticipating the first in a string of championships though. Big difference.
Last night one of the most disliked athletes in all of sports claimed his first title in LeBron James. The Thunder are poised to dominate the NBA for a very long time though. They have one of the youngest teams in the league, they are also all under contract for quite some time!
We as a state can enjoy this team for the foreseeable future and expect them to represent us well!
Nice season Thunder! We're glad you made it!

Almost Over
The week is nearly done. Our sore kitty is still sore and has a cold. He hides under the bed but the vet said as long as he is eating and his stitches aren't draining he'll be fine. He stayed on my lap all last night for attention.
My Baby has a spectacular cast for Audition and rehearsals with the teens are going well! I'm very proud of her and the job that she is doing! The Theatre will be very well represented!
Tonight is Third Thursday, the acoustic music night at the Theatre. I'll be up there tonight with the tech.

Thunder Down But Not Out
The Thunder have a shot tomorrow night at bringing the series back home but they are down 3-1 right now and face elimination. If they can deny LeBron James a ring I know America will be happy and I know Oklahoma will be thrilled at their first professional sports championship!
Yes they have enjoyed national championships before but this is the pro level. The big time. This time the whole state is united behind a team instead of in different college camps.
Even if they fall tomorrow night it's likely that they will be a NBA Finals participant for at least the next five years. They have dynasty written all over them and could likely be the next Spurs or Lakers and be perennial champions. They are young, they are under long term contracts, and they are getting this experience at a very young age. They are going to be a juggernaut for the years to come.
We'll get very used to seeing the Thunder play at this high level and in the next ten years they'll eventually have a rebuilding time and be at the bottom for a year or two before climbing back up to the top again. It's just the cycle of sports. Players will come and go, the team will rise and fall, and we'll win and lose.
Right now the Thunder are definitely rising though!

It's Starting Again!
Today is my Monday Tuesday. Got the kitten all back home yesterday evening. He's doing fine. We could tell when the pain meds were wearing off though. He slept in the nook of my arm all night, he's much better this morning though. He'll be up today and walking just fine I'm sure.
Thing 2 beat Diablo 3 last night, well on the normal level. She's going to try nightmare difficulty next and we'll see how that goes. I know how hard that is though, it'll be tough on her! She'll have fun though, she really likes the game.
My Honey's rehearsal went well last night for her OCTA show! She and I did the light plot that she has to send off. Talk about tough, without seeing the stage or the lights to tweak them and play with them the way you want, it's darn hard. You really can't see how they are going to look but we did our best with what we had to work with. It's a very funny and touching show! The teens are good, it should do well in competition! I'm very proud of her:) She's done a great job!
Thing 2 beat Diablo 3 last night, well on the normal level. She's going to try nightmare difficulty next and we'll see how that goes. I know how hard that is though, it'll be tough on her! She'll have fun though, she really likes the game.

Nice Weekend
Today I took Liddy to the vet to get him fixed and get his shots. I took My Honey her Keurig coffee pods she forgot this morning. Now I'm just going to enjoy the final day off from work!
Now that I'm earning more leave I decided that after this I'm not going to take off so much and let it build up as far as I can. I'll have roughly seventy hours now, I'd like to build it up past two hundred if possible though. It'd be really nice to have that kind of leave in the bank.
So now to chill and wait for Thing 2's appointment this afternoon:)
Life is good.
