A Novel Idea

I've uploaded my Files to IngramSpark. And soon, I will announce the availability of my Novel, 26 Women. Because Ingram has the ability to distribute books through many outlets, You will be able to acquire my book from your preferred source. I'm publishing two forms. One is digital for those that read on their phones, laptops, or desk computers. The other is a print on demand (POD) trade paperback for those that want a book in hand. After ordering, it will take a couple of days to get your book. 

If you're going to Boswells or another bookstore, they will order it for you. As soon as I get the word that it's available, I will publish the ISBN ID number to speed up that process.

COVID 19

As advertised, I am, according to the experts, fully immunized from COVID. Two shots and a two-week period following the last one, and I'm good. I have lunched and brunched with fellow fully immunized friends, and I've got to say it feels good to shake hands and hug my friends again.

It isn't over, of course. I'm fortunate to have many younger friends who have not been protected yet. I am looking forward to reconnecting with them. 

I'm also hoping that along with many of the other facilitators at the Zeidler Group, we will soon do live facilitation. I'm guessing late summer or early fall, we will start to see signs of safe reconnection, such as full capacity dining and ballparks.

News

As some of you might remember, I gave up Twitter for Lent. I'm still not following it, and if I do, I plan to winnow out some people I'm following. First of all, from my perspective, there is a lot of good news. President Biden has been a pleasant surprise. I knew he'd be better than his predecessor, but that's a pretty low bar. The fact that he has presented well-thought-out programs to implement needed change was expected. I was pleased and impressed with the breadth of his proposals. 

My Twitter feed was a place for angry people. As long as I was angry, it was comfortable and reassuring. I'm not angry anymore. I'm skeptical and watchful but somewhat content.

    Angry people search out other angry people for the unfullfilling purpose that misery loves company. I am happy for your contentedness. Shalom

Diversity

As we look forward to celebrating the Pride we have in our Gay population, (Yeah, I couldn't resist the pun.) I'm pleased to report that diversity in the mix of our residents here in the Fox River Valley continues to surprise me. Example: As my wife and I waited for friends, in the lobby of the Marcus Hollywood Theater on the west side of Appleton, I witnessed three AfricanAmericann ladies buying snacks. Behind them was a Latino couple. At the end of the line, behind was an Asian fellow with three kids. We represented the WASP's. This is in a community that when I first visited in the nineteen sixties, if a black man walked down the street, he more than likely played football for Green Bay. After that, there was a rather pronounced immigration of Hmong and quieter arrival of Latino's. For a while, the worst keep secret was that the new Italian restaurant was actually owned by Mexican's. Since returning to the Valley, I've grown use...

A rustle in the hustings

I am trying to stay away from politics on my blog. I know that some of my intended readers do not share my feelings. As well, I don't entice dialogue. Occasionally my readers will address something I've written about. For the most part, they are merely saying something like, "Oh yeah, I felt that way too," regarding some experience, that I related. However, I have to share these particular feelings about the new Ryan Healthcare proposal that is sailing through the House of Representatives. Market-driven healthcare provision: This concept proposes that if put on the free market health care insurance will become more affordable. The theory is there will be competition among insurers to gain market share and lowering the prices will be a possible outcome. None of the insurers want customers who are old people or people with a pre-existing health problem ( heart disease, cancer, etc...) Older people, who are not on medicare, have more health care ne...

Ring The Bell

 It appears there is a tradition in the radiology department at Ascension Hospital that patients, upon completing their course of treatment, ring a bell. ( We know not for whom this bell tolls.) Ring the Bell with My Sweetheart Jeanne. Jeanne drove me to all but two of the appointments. Pam Frautchi took me to the other two. Today, after being zapped thirty-two times, I rang the bell. This begins a roughly one-month recovery period where the effects of the radiation abate and, I'm assured, a return to normalcy occurs. In my case, I anticipate more energy and greater awareness. Books, Books, & More Books I am simultaneously celebrating the end of the third year of volunteering for the All Saints Hunger Book Sale. Next week, we will wrap up the preparation for the sale and open our doors on August 3 for the public. I ran into this humourous but quite accurate cartoon on a T-Shirt that shows most of the volunteer's sentiments at this point. If you think the printed and bound p...
