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

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...

It's time again.

It started in 2004 when we moved to our condo off Downer in Milwaukee. Then we mover to the Westside of Milwaukee when we rented from Ken Karr, the former landlord, now a current friend on Highland and 29th St. Then we moved to Mandeville Louisiana for a little less than a year. Returning to The Fox River Valley, we rented a home in Fox Crossing, formerly The Town of Menasha. When the tree fell on the roof, and the landlord felt no urgency to fix it, we moved to W. Commercial in Appleton. Here is a shocker. Are you sitting down? We are moving. No, I don't mean off the couch and out to the patio. There are too many damn mosquitoes for that to happen. No, we are packing our stuff, or at least the stuff we unpacked from the last move and moving to a home Maria purchased on Mason and Glendale in Appleton. Let me unpack that last sentence (pun planned for). We are moving at approximately the end of September to a house. The house has been in t...

Latest News From The City On The Inland Sea

 Many of us in Milwaukee have put away the black armbands recognizing our grief for the Brewer's early exit from the playoffs. The Packers are going through their season, letting Jordan Love grow into the vacancy left by the departure of Aaron Rodgers. The Milwaukee Bucks are daring anyone to try and take this year's championship away from them. Marquette, UWM, and the Badgers have an abundance of hope. Marquette, however, has the talent. My Treatments We are at a checkpoint. Along with my immunotherapy next Monday, I'm having a scan. It's felt that my body has shed enough radiation so we can get a look at the infected area and evaluate the progress. Watch this space. I am feeling well. I had little reaction to the second round of the Keytruda and don't anticipate any from the next injection. I went to Walgreens to get my Flu shot and my COVID booster. Remember when we used to go to the drugstore because they had a soda fountain. Wanderings Jeanne and I decided to g...
