Things are getting back to something like normal here. For those of you who asked, my mother-in-law is stable and my wife is now home again. So order is returning just a bit to the chaos. I hope to resume regular blogging soon.
I am working on my e-zine today, and I also have my monthly visit with my accountant and my monthly critique group meets tonight, so today’s blog must be short.
But I have just remembered that I forgot to mention that my latest humor column (starring Sam the Plumber) was posted more than a week ago.
This month’s column is titled: “Congratulations, I Hate You” and was supposed to be about awards and jealousy. But Sam quickly corrected me on that score, and took over the column as he usually does.
Have fun!
Oooh… new word… ennui. Thank you! What a great word!
Personally, I love the use of N.U.I – such an underused word!
Thanks for linking to the column, Randy! It really brightened my mood today.
So, Sam knows about exploding helicopters. Must have been reading your column. Bet he pretends he doesn’t.
My publisher emailed me about my book. His editor person said it slowed down a bit in the middle. Wanted me to do a bit more rolling reveal, keep up the pace. I wrote in an exploding helicopter. Well, OK, an exploding motorbike. All fixed now.
Thanks for the chuckle, Randy. I love your humor column.
By the way, just how good of a plummer is Sam? We do our own plumbing, or have a family member help out, and I’m not sure our bathroom problem is 100% fixed, yet. Maybe he could come and take care of it sometime when we’re away from the house.
Does Sam take payment in anything other than money? Our ranch doesn’t grow an extra supply of that.
Is Sam related to Joe? Not Joe the Plumber, Joe the Strummer. I saw him on TV tonight (I was only passing thru—the people who live in my house who aren’t trying to get a novel submittable in 11 days and who do normal things like talk to each other and watch Kid Rock together had it on). Joe wore a shirt that said “Joe the Strummer” and played a sweet Lynyrd Skynyrd knock-off. He delivered.
So Randy, what do you think about t-shirt marketing? I mean, what does Sam think of it?
