Good news...I got a second letter from the tentative publisher of my bootlace book, still encouraging...I hope that the economy doesn't influence whether or not they print it. I'm going to tell them that this book is EXACTLY what the ecomony needs...it could solve world hunger....along with my next book..."50 Uses for an Inner-Tube"...
I have a nice stingy blister on my right heel from breaking in some new combat boots...fun...
I have been coveting this Kum adjustable brass manual pencil sharpener and this other Alvin brass bullet manual ps...I just look from time to time, I use mechanical pencils anyway. Rachel uses art pencils...I dream of meeting all of her sharpening needs...
I found a thimble for my sewing kit, my last one was stolen from me by Josh Marples when he was contracting for Falcon Security up in Mosul in 2007, he borrowed my needle vial too but I really only miss the thimble. He said it was to sew a ghillie suit..maybe he is still sewing? probably not... I am a simple man, but I am still a man..don't ever steal a mans thimble...dang dude...
I looked up the difference between burros, donkeys, asses and mules...just in case someone asks...I also had a Ukrainian tell me that if a cat has 3 colors or more it's a female. I was like "..what about tigers man? or leopards?" He said" house cats"...anyway he was right according to the cat experts on the internet.
Rachel is still the Mesopotamian Scrabble Champion. She is the Sudoku Reigning Champ as well. She is just too humble to tell you all...so I did.
Is there some reward or prize for all this writing? It does serve some purpose , right?
Anyway, be safe. m

I'm not sure what super-fatting is, or means... But sure! I've never heard of a man so attached to a thimble, but then again, my time in this profession is vastly limited compared to yours.
ReplyDeleteI've gone back and read every entry on here. You two are a riot. Sometimes I don't know who is talking, but then a name is mentioned and my whole perception of the entry is slanted, or perhaps faded, like how paint or furniture looks under a different light.
I'm so glad Rachel's thumb is healing, and that she's back in business with her email.
Connor should be here within the month--yay! I'll keep you guys posted.
Love you both, glad you are holding up so very well.
