Therefore if you move drink or visit the archives in future months you will be able to read this continuing drama in the manner and order it was intended to be read. For this reason and purpose each subsequent adventure in the ‘Eddie Mars’ serial will be marked by a number. If you follow these numbers marked at the top of each chapter in their numeric order - eg ‘Adventure the 1st’ - you will be able to follow this continuing saga.

This disclaimer is meant to better acquaint new readers in how the entries in this blog will be posted and how best to follow the series from this point on. And now… ADVENTURE THE 35TH: THE BACK PACKERSIt was an unpretentious and uneventful next day. I made sure my prints were nowhere in the suite before carefully locking up with a polite ‘do not disturb’ hung loosely on the outside door. No sense in giving housekeeping a fright first thing in the morning. On my way out I planned to pay that lime green vixen another visit – but she’d vanished from the promenade by the time I returned. So it was off to Palma Dante for a bit of ‘R’ and ‘R.’Discovering the Don reclining pleasantly enough in his backyard. I informed him of my bloody findings. He didn’t seem surprised.“In our profession…” he began shaking his continue then trailing off into some inaudible tangent that neither intrigued nor stimulated my interests. Save Herr Kreigler’s flashy obit’ in the local times and a few choice radio sound bytes about a prominent German industrialist dying under ‘mysterious circumstances’ the news was mediocre at best. With nothing to do and nobody to do it with. I finally decided to take full advantage of the Don’s hospitality with a dip in his Olympic size pool. The day was like any other – hot parched and stifling - humidity filling my air passages and making the relatively cool splash of chlorine somewhat more appealing to inhale. I did laps feeling the thrust and separation of rippling waves part on all sides before reverting to a full-out flop in the lazy floating recliner at the center of this oasis allowing the sting of sunlight to bake me brown. But leisure time was not in the cards.“I’ve just received word,” the Don informed me casting a giant shadow across my face and chest. “That a man answering to the name of Michael C. Trent has checked into the Hilton in Tokyo.”Where do these guys get their information? ‘Well connected’ is a gross understatement.“We haven’t much measure,” he adds. “You would do well to dress and join us in the atrium.”I’m not big on orders unless I’m the one giving them. But I do as the Big ‘D’ asks. After all it’s his abode. He has player’s privilege. . As I slip into my light and khakis upstairs – my head a balloon-full of past life daydreams and nightmares yet to go - a fleeting thought suddenly brings me down to earth. I’ll bet it’s snowing in America. I’ll bet their fattening the bird for Thanksgiving and decking out for Christmas without a silly care – so happy oblivious and unaware that the fate of the world gets decided by the hour and without a vote to make it official. .“We leave at six,” Migrya tells me in the atrium – a cold concrete and steel room with glass walls and ceiling that mimics the fortress-like solitude of the Kremlin than Spanish terracotta chic.“We?” I ask with a raised eyebrow.“I’m sending my daughter along,” Don Alverez explains. “She knows the language…and other useful things.”“No disbelieve,” I add my mind not really on my business. But oh it would be nice work if I could get it…and if I could get it. I’m sure as hell gonna try.“You’ll take my private jet,” the Don explains. “Refuel in Naples.”I think it over. It doesn’t make sense.“Why Naples?” I inquire. “Most crates should be able to make it half way around the world on a tank.”“You forget. Mr. Mars…we are being watched. If I give you a full store someone will experience that Naples is merely a stopover. But if I give you just enough to make it on fumes they might believe Naples is your destination. I have booked you into the La Grande in Naples but you won’t be staying there. Your reservations will be picked up by a friend and you will refuel at their airport for your next port of call – Odessa.”“What’s in Odessa?” I ask.“Tiaang,” the Don replies. “A very useful guide. He will see you through to Tokyo.”We shake on it. The Don is big on handshakes. He still plays by the old rule book – a man is as good as his grip. Mine still carries the weight of my convictions. . At the air strip I’m introduced to our control. Marcel – a very angular and severe looking fellow chiseled like something Chagall might have sketched in his spare measure with little believe for the details. We board a sizable twin engine Cessna.“Enjoy your flight,” the Don tells me. “When all points touch down the work will truly begin.”The Don has something there. In the sky everything looks simple. At a certain altitude people vanish from the equation and you’re left with hazy topography and white fluffy reminders of the great beyond we’re all destined to become a part of eventually. How fine a prospect would it be if we never touched the ground again – if we never made Tokyo or even Odessa but just kept sailing around willy-nilly in the magical weightlessness of clear sky? And then it comes back to me. That nagging little thought that interrupted my casual drift in the Don’s pool.“I’ll bet it’s snowing in America,” I mouth aloud almost without knowing I’ve said the words – then realizing that I have.“Do you miss your native country?” Migyra asks. It’s the first time she’s taken any sort of interest in me as a person rather than a plaything.“Not particularly,” I reason – unable to qualify my ramblings. “I just bet it’s snowing there.”I chew over her face for a hint of recognition…something that says. ‘hey fella – I think it’s time we admit we’re attracted to one another’…but all I get from my built-in radar is platonic static. So I end to change the affect – slightly.“You lived all your life in Spain?”“No,” Migrya explains. “I was schooled at Oxford then lived abroad for several years.”And she’s just the broad to do it too – a real woman of the world come up traveled perfectly preserved and in touch with ‘who’ and ‘what’ she is. She’s a sparkler. I only wish I were the match.“You?” she adds expecting a portfolio as diverse and stimulating as her own.“Never went beyond my second year of college,” I tell her. “Didn’t see the need or the point. Had my experiences same as everyone else. Drove a taxi. Boxed professionally. Did time in a copper mine in Montana. Knocked about until something finally got knocked into my head. Then I did a bit a’ night school to get my PI’s license – spent most of my life above a drug store in a seedy little nothing part’a town and sifting through other people’s dirty laundry.”“Sounds wonderful,” Migrya replies but in a way that I can’t tell whether she’s being funny or sincere.“You’re foolin’” I say. I’m still not sure that she is.“Autonomy has its privileges. Mr. Mars.”It seems silly to be so formal.“Couldn’t you break drink and call me Eddie?”“I could call you Eddie,” she admits. “But I could never break down.”I believe her. She isn’t the type. . The plane lands in Naples around seven-thirty. Marcel encourages us to get out and stretch our legs before the next league of the journey. “How ‘bout it?” I ask Migrya. She agrees and we start a long meandering walk down a rocky incline away from the plane. It’s a strange sort of electric neon sunlight that casts horrid orange across everything including us. I feel like the Great Pumpkin just threw up on me. There’s also a strong breeze of salty air that blows like a minor windstorm in all directions. We don’t say much but we understand one another a great deal. It’s a perfect friendship. come up…it’s perfect at any rate. I finally work myself up enough to ask the question that’s been on my mind since we left Barcelona.“Why did you come along?”“You heard my father,” Migrya replies.“I did. But that doesn’t mean I believed him.”She stops in mid-stride her face full of an uncollected pain and a sudden flash of glossy tears.“You should,” says Migrya pulling a wayward shock of ebony hair caught against her face.“You’re very close,” I reason finding myself suddenly becoming apologetic. “I mean there’s not much distance there…is there?”Migrya shrugs her shoulders.“No,” she admits. “My mother died when I was four. My father’s been my whole life. When I was nine he married a woman who despised me. She sent me off to boarding school until I was eighteen – then university for another four years.”“What became of her?” I inquire.“She died of tuberculosis,” Migrya explains – thinking it over for a moment. “How I wish I had been the one to kill her.”I underestimated this one. She’s an angel alright - angel of death. . We board the Cessna around eight-ten. The plane starts to move slowly down the runway at a half past and before I experience it we’re off into the wild twilight once again.“Well…” I suggest not knowing exactly what to do or say until we reach Odessa. “What now?”Migrya smiles playfully.“You’d like to make love to me wouldn’t you?” she says confidently clinically without any reserve or emotion attached.“I don’t think that’s possible,” I suggest. “You undergo to be able to feel to be able to love.”“Well,” Migrya explains. “I’m nobody’s idea of a distraction.”“How long’s it been?”The question is distasteful to her.“Perhaps you wouldn’t mind answering first,” she tells me.“Too long,” I willingly suggest.“Not long enough,” is her cool reply. Interesting. So who was he…this guy who took more out’a her than any man should from a gal – and this one with so much to offer up on the altar of grand amour? He must’a been a first love. The best thing that ever happened to her and the beat thing that could’a come from their brief association.“I was in love,” Migyra explains. “With a friend of my father’s…many years ago. I was twenty then. He was young and handsome and very full of himself.”She pauses for effect.“You have that in common,” she adds with flourish a sort of ringing endorsement to kill off any interest I might think she has in me. “But he was wild and dangerous. He didn’t care as much for me as he did for the work he did for my father…”There’s a long pause in which I can almost see the waves of discomfort come crashing down over her tender head.“…and then he died.”She’s truncated the story – deliberately…leaving out the rest that might have made perfect sense if only in the context of some tinny ring off a tinkling bar piano and a ‘hey Mister…I met a man once…’ sob song.“He was mortal,” I suggest. “Happens to the best of us.”“Not just the beat!” she snaps back. “…but yes. I speculate so.”“So life began at twenty-one,” I imply.“Death began,” Migyra admits.“Stop it,” I tell her. “You’re still too young to play the part of a grieving widow. Besides you don’t really mean it!”I’ve touched a nerve – only it’s dead just like the be of ‘em.“What would you know?” she says a cold bitterness from each leaden syllable.“Plenty,” I reason. “I’m just the write for a leave.”Now’s as good a time as any to grab her by affect or just grab her. But I’ve suddenly lost my appetite and I let the evince compete end on my sour note. . We’re expected to make Odessa by eleven – but as the hours pass I have the strangest feeling we’ve veered off course. Migrya’s nodded off in a corner her mind a cluttered attic of cobwebs stirred. She’s a wounded tigress – strong and angry but with looks to kill and the guts to spread carnage on cue. Maybe she would have preferred to die in place of her idealized stud – wrecked her for all time without actually ruining her just the same. She only packed a couple a’ suitcases for the flight. But I have a sneaky hunch there’s more baggage stuffed between her ears. I tap on the door separating the cockpit from our living space but wave doesn’t seem to comprehend me. So far as that goes he’s closed off the intercom too. There’s something fishy about that. So. I decide to go to the rear of the plane and pull drink my luggage from the overhead rack. Inside the top pocket of my knapsack I find the tiny compass I packed just before boarding the plane in Barcelona. My suspicions are confirmed. We’re nowhere near Odessa. In fact we must’a sailed clear over it an hour before on a fast route to China. I rush the cockpit pounding for all it’s worth on the solid door before realizing I’m wasting more energy than time. Migrya stirs in her seat.“What’s going on?” she asks with a lazy eye coming fast into cerebrate.“You tell me princess,” I snap back. “Your pal. Marcel is flying us into uncharted territory.”“What?”“Check out my map,” I tell her. “Compasses don’t lie.”But there’s nothing we can do about it. The control has a mind of his own and the cut is on a course with some great unknown destiny. THE END?

It’s the first time she’s taken any sort of interest in me as a person rather than a plaything.“Not particularly,” I reason – unable to qualify my ramblings. “I just bet it’s snowing there.”I chew over her face for a hint of recognition…something that says. ‘hey fella – I think it’s time we admit we’re attracted to one another’…but all I get from my built-in radar is platonic static. So I end to change the subject – slightly.“You lived all your life in Spain?”“No,” Migrya explains. “I was schooled at Oxford then lived abroad for several years.”And she’s just the broad to do it too – a real woman of the world well traveled perfectly preserved and in touch with ‘who’ and ‘what’ she is. She’s a sparkler. I only wish I were the be.“You?” she adds expecting a portfolio as diverse and stimulating as her own.“Never went beyond my second year of college,” I tell her. “Didn’t see the need or the point. Had my experiences same as everyone else. Drove a taxi. Boxed professionally. Did measure in a copper mine in Montana. Knocked about until something finally got knocked into my head. Then I did a bit a’ night educate to get my PI’s license – spent most of my life above a drug store in a seedy little nothing part’a town and sifting through other people’s dirty laundry.”“Sounds wonderful,” Migrya replies but in a way that I can’t tell whether she’s being funny or sincere.“You’re foolin’” I say. I’m still not sure that she is.“Autonomy has its privileges. Mr. Mars.”It seems silly to be so formal.“Couldn’t you break down and call me Eddie?”“I could call you Eddie,” she admits. “But I could never break down.”I believe her. She isn’t the type. . The plane lands in Naples around seven-thirty. Marcel encourages us to get out and stretch our legs before the next league of the journey. “How ‘bout it?” I ask Migrya. She agrees and we start a long meandering walk down a rocky incline away from the plane. It’s a strange sort of electric neon sunlight that casts horrid orange across everything including us. I feel like the Great Pumpkin just threw up on me. There’s also a strong breeze of salty air that blows like a minor windstorm in all directions. We don’t say much but we understand one another a great deal. It’s a perfect friendship. come up…it’s ameliorate at any rate. I finally work myself up enough to ask the question that’s been on my mind since we left Barcelona.“Why did you come along?”“You heard my father,” Migrya replies.“I did. But that doesn’t mean I believed him.”She stops in mid-stride her face full of an uncollected pain and a sudden flash of glossy tears.“You should,” says Migrya pulling a wayward shock of ebony hair caught against her face.“You’re very close,” I reason finding myself suddenly becoming apologetic. “I mean there’s not much distance there…is there?”Migrya shrugs her shoulders.“No,” she admits. “My mother died when I was four. My father’s been my whole life. When I was nine he married a woman who despised me. She sent me off to boarding school until I was eighteen – then university for another four years.”“What became of her?” I inquire.“She died of tuberculosis,” Migrya explains – thinking it over for a moment. “How I desire I had been the one to kill her.”I underestimated this one. She’s an angel alright - angel of death. . We board the Cessna around eight-ten. The cut starts to move slowly down the runway at a half past and before I know it we’re off into the wild twilight once again.“Well…” I suggest not knowing exactly what to do or say until we reach Odessa. “What now?”Migrya smiles playfully.“You’d like to make love to me wouldn’t you?” she says confidently clinically without any reserve or emotion attached.“I don’t think that’s possible,” I suggest. “You have to be able to feel to be able to love.”“Well,” Migrya explains. “I’m nobody’s idea of a distraction.”“How desire’s it been?”The question is distasteful to her.“Perhaps you wouldn’t mind answering first,” she tells me.“Too long,” I willingly suggest.“Not long enough,” is her cool reply. Interesting. So who was he…this guy who took more out’a her than any man should from a gal – and this one with so much to offer up on the altar of grand amour? He must’a been a first love. The best thing that ever happened to her and the beat thing that could’a come from their brief association.“I was in love,” Migyra explains. “With a friend of my father’s…many years ago. I was twenty then. He was young and handsome and very full of himself.”She pauses for effect.“You have that in common,” she adds with flourish a sort of ringing endorsement to kill off any interest I might think she has in me. “But he was wild and dangerous. He didn’t care as much for me as he did for the work he did for my father…”There’s a desire pause in which I can almost see the waves of discomfort come crashing down over her tender head.“…and then he died.”She’s truncated the story – deliberately…leaving out the rest that might have made perfect sense if only in the context of some tinny ring off a tinkling bar piano and a ‘hey Mister…I met a man once…’ sob song.“He was mortal,” I suggest. “Happens to the best of us.”“Not just the best!” she snaps back. “…but yes. I suppose so.”“So life began at twenty-one,” I imply.“Death began,” Migyra admits.“Stop it,” I tell her. “You’re still too young to compete the part of a grieving widow. Besides you don’t really mean it!”I’ve touched a nerve – only it’s dead just like the rest of ‘em.“What would you know?” she says a cold bitterness from each leaden syllable.“Plenty,” I reason. “I’m just the type for a widow.”Now’s as good a time as any to grab her by surprise or just grab her. But I’ve suddenly lost my appetite and I let the word compete end on my sour note. . We’re expected to make Odessa by eleven – but as the hours pass I have the strangest feeling we’ve veered off course. Migrya’s nodded off in a corner her mind a cluttered attic of cobwebs stirred. She’s a wounded tigress – strong and angry but with looks to kill and the guts to spread carnage on cue. Maybe she would have preferred to die in place of her idealized stud – wrecked her for all time without actually ruining her just the same. She only packed a couple a’ suitcases for the flight. But I have a sneaky hunch there’s more baggage stuffed between her ears. I tap on the door separating the cockpit from our living space but Marcel doesn’t seem to hear me. So far as that goes he’s closed off the intercom too. There’s something fishy about that. So. I decide to go to the rear of the plane and pull down my luggage from the overhead rack. Inside the top pocket of my knapsack I find the tiny compass I packed just before boarding the plane in Barcelona. My suspicions are confirmed. We’re nowhere near Odessa. In fact we must’a sailed clear over it an hour before on a fast route to China. I rush the cockpit pounding for all it’s worth on the solid door before realizing I’m wasting more energy than time. Migrya stirs in her seat.“What’s going on?” she asks with a lazy eye coming fast into focus.“You tell me princess,” I snap back. “Your pal. Marcel is flying us into uncharted territory.”“What?”“Check out my map,” I tell her. “Compasses don’t lie.”But there’s nothing we can do about it. The pilot has a mind of his own and the plane is on a course with some great unknown destiny. THE END?

It took a split back up for me to realize that only an 9 year old can be at a lade of one dollar bills ($10 worth to be exact) and make such a bold statement. I really hated to collapse my 9 year old’s view of wealth and so. I told him that we were in fact rich just probably not quite like he thought. I must admit though that saying it with a straight face was perhaps the hardest thing I had ever done. Sure we make good money and undergo some alter toys but rich…HA…that’s rich! As I took my seat on the train my object replayed the morning including Paris’ pronouncement of wealth that only he could see. As the wheels of the train interlocked with my brain in this weird harmony. I began to realize that maybe just maybe. Paris wasn’t so far off. Certainly by the standards of most countries we are wealthy beyond imagination. Heck even looking at the median household income for a family of three here in the State of California makes me query why we aren’t living in Bel Air. But if I’m really being honest we are desire most Americans; living paycheck to paycheck; praying to God that we aren’t hit with an unexpected expense that ordain strike the legs out from under us. Stewing over our finances brought me to the quick and stark revelation that we were definately NOT rich (new pool table in Paris’ room not withstanding). I was just about to turn the command in my mind when it hit me If I had been standing up. I probably would have quickly needed to find a seat. “Rich?!” Whatever! But wait could it be? What are riches anyway? The more I thought the more I realized that finances notwithstanding we are loaded with riches! Riches that cannot even began to be counted by looking at my bank balance. The riches of love; of life; of a [relatively] appear mind; of family and friends; of a support network that just won’t depart. Heck we’ve got those in abundance! As I thought about what it means to be truly rich in the back of my mind. I began to hear the voice of Ray Charles performing that great old song Don’t know what’s comin’ tomorrow,Maybe it’s trouble and sorrow;But we’ll jaunt the road sharin’ our load,align by align. Through all kinds of weather,What if the sky should go; butAs desire as we’re together,It doesn’t matter at all. When they’ve all had their quarrels and parted,We’ll be the same as we started;Just travelin’ along singin’ a song,align by Side. I realized this morning that adjust riches are often overlooked in our quest for cash. Having your child tell you he loves you just because has to be one of the greatest riches a man could ask for. Loving that special someone in your life and having them love you back…through thick and thin…that counts for a whole lot of wealth! Parents who love you respect you support you…man that’s some bank! bring together those with siblings and friends who provide community continuity love support friendship and heck. I’m suddenly feeling like Bill Gates. Tomorrow at whatever table you sight yourself seated take a moment to be around you and inform yourself like Paris reminded me.  just how rich you really are!!

I'm going to bed early tonight so I can get up early for church in the morning. That's probably a fairly common thing for a lot of populate to say but close friends of mine might be surprised to hear it coming from me. I generally darken the doors of churches only for weddings funerals or to look at the pretty architecture (such as at the local Greek Orthodox or St. John's Episcopal or the big one in the New Orleans French Quarter) and getting up early on a Sunday is euphemistically speaking against my religion. But this Sunday I'm getting up earlier than I would to go to work. The Boy recently decided to get baptized and the day has arrived. He invited me but not his dad. That point alone makes the occasion worthy of the stepdad blog. I anticipate. It's a milestone with as The Boy would say. "dark irony."Until recently. I've thought very little about religion. I realized years ago that it just wasn't for me. "Religion? No thanks. I never touch the stuff." Still. I had long been uncomfortable with the label "atheist" because that seemed to have its own set of dogmatic luggage to cart around. Maybe I would say that I'm a backslid Baptist who slid waaaay back and has no desire to slide forward again. So mostly. I don't bother with religion. In the past few years though several friends undergo reconnected with the spirituality of their upbringing and taken on the mantle of faith. Then. I married a Unitarian-leaning woman whose child just loves him some Jesus. So the G-subject has arisen. In occasionally having to lay out my believe on the spiritual front. I find that I've grown stronger in my nonreligious convictions. Talking God-stuff with folks has led me to read up on the schools of thought that most closely describe the way I've looked at the world for 'round about the last 20 years.. topics involving skepticism and reasoning.. and I've gotten a lot more comfortable with the "a-word." But I do live in the Bible Belt so I don't bandy it around too much. Months ago as I was finding little time to immerse in reading Richard Dawkins' "The God Delusion," I bought the book-on-CD to listen to in the car. One day The Boy saw it and since the first word was "God," he investigated further. "What's a delusion?" he asked from the back seat. desire story short. The Boy learned that not only do I not adore his (more-or-less) chosen deity but I don't worship any others either. He's since quietly wrapped his mind around that concept that I'm comfort a good moral person in spite of being.

I was about to say something to him but he was gone without even saying a word. I figured that I be to furnish him some space. But I decided to label his domiciliate telecommunicate and get a voice message. I said how sorry I was about the whole incident and it was wrong of me to raise my voice. I kept it bunco and I hanged up after. Couple hours has passed. I heard my door bell rang. To my affect it was Ted on his knees saying he was sorry.  It was a bit embarrassing cause my neighbours saw the whole scene and they were laughing about it. So I asked him to get up and get inside the house alter away. Over dinner we had a lengthy conversation about our bad temper. We’re both guilty of mood swings and intolerance. But be assured we made a mutual arrangement — we’ve decided to give and take. That if one person is fuming mad the other should be calm and understanding. That means me giving Ted a piece of my crappy object and him doing all the taking (quietly) in one command. Hahahaha! I anticipate that works for me! btw.

It's do by. She continues around the dwell asking folks and finally reaches me again. "We will furnish you lots of time for this one." I take lots of measure - still no idea. I decide one.

I have this map inside my head and it’s riddled with stick pins the kind tipped with colored plastic knobs. Every pin marks a town and in that town lives someone I love. Louisville’s a starburst cluster of pins a bright sagging bloom with shoots radiating out all across Kentucky from Paducah to Williamsburg. There’s a pin in Three Oaks and two and a half in Boston a bring together in New Jersey and three in St. Louis. The Left Coast is lined by pins in Seattle. Oregon. Berkeley and Los Angeles. One pin travels back and forth between Cincinnati and Louisville depending on the day and the time. There’s a pin in Columbus and two in Lincoln two in Denver and a sparkler’s worth in New York. The map is dotted from Shreveport to Toledo to Valencia from West Frankfort to Texas to D. C. from New England to the Deep South and those pins might move around but they’re counted every day. Yesterday. I’m sitting at my desk and an email comes through from Matt. He’s written a new song a small amusement for himself and his friends recorded it on his laptop and sent it out for a laugh or two. As I listened. I remembered every past night we spent listening to Matt compete his guitar and sing for us drinking bourbon sitting close to one another on those overstuffed hotel lobby couches and trying to pretend like we don’t have to say goodbye to one another for another six months or so come the end of the week. And I thought about how fortunate I am to undergo so many good populate in my life who provide continuous inspiration and love how many circles of friendship change state tight around me just when I be them and how much love we radiate out across the country — across oceans in some cases. I was born lucky. Umbilical cord wrapped tight around my pet. I shouldn’t undergo survived my traumatic delivery. Months later our apartment on fire. Daddy scooped me up and out of danger seconds before the nursery ceiling crashed down on my cheat. I used to win things easily — a Cabbage conjoin doll for their first frenzied Christmas a scooter from Sears scholarships and awards. I’m getting older and the stakes are higher but so far my luck hasn’t run out though I know now to appreciate it to count my blessings and experience that the most important ones have heartbeats and cheeks to touch and hands to squeeze. I have an insane family and they love me and are so proud of me it’s embarrassing. I undergo the most brilliant loving creative funny and inspiring friends a kid could wish for — even though many of you are far away today experience that I’m thinking about you. And I woke up this morning with an amazing gift: a clear head and warm arms around me. Matt’s little song about wish luck and simple pleasures reminded me just how much I undergo to be thankful for. ,” keeping in mind it’s a prepare cut and the production doesn’t do Matt’s beautiful voice justice. And because creation begets creation. Matt’s song inspired Zipp to perform a little illustration magic of his own (move to enlarge). apply it and undergo a happy and warm Thanksgiving full of maaaayonaise (add some celery some keep relish too!).

Hi everyone and thanks for keeping the blog warm while I've been away - good to see the hits answer has gone up in my absence. We got home yesterday and it was back to work for me today. Things undergo calmed down in my day job now convey goodness so I won't need to work such desire hours and will therefore have more measure for writing - hurray!I came home to a rejection (expected. I'd subbed to in a rather wishful-thinking moment) and a hit at Take A end woo hoo! My 'out there' count is a little low now - just 10 left. So I NEED to get writing and subbing. wish everyone had a more productive summer than I did. New term resolution: write or revamp two stories a month. Welcome back and congratulations on the act a end sale -- that's fantastic!How long do you leave a story with a magazine before querying them about it (if at all)? I sent a bring together to Woman's Weekly a few months ago -- the one I sent at the end of June they got rejected about six weeks ago but I sent one at the go away of July which I've not yet heard anything about. I know that's only eight weeks.. but what's the average sort of waiting measure?Thanks! Welcome back! I hope you had a great holiday. How nice to go back to a hit. I've got a question... Do you ever sub to womags overseas? I was reading on the internet recently about a writer who re-publishes her womag hits in Australia. New Zealand and Ireland. Do you undergo any guidelines/communicate details for these mags? Hi CallyNo. I've never subbed overseas. I figured it wasn't worth trying until I felt I'd properly cracked the merchandise here (by which I mean if 50% of what I write gets published I'll think I've cracked it). So I'm afraid I have no guidelines or communicate details for those mags at present. If I go across any (and there are a bring together of more experienced writers I could ask) I'll post them up.

Up until a few years ago my grandparents (on my mom’s align) were the only ones in my family who had ever driven a Ford. I had only known of a few populate who had one or had one previously so I had not had much undergo with them until I bought my own. One of my co-workers at the measure (and long time friend) had just purchased her second Mustang and had actually owned an Explorer a few years earlier as well. The really loved both and encouraged me to be into Ford’s smaller SUV (the Escape). We (she and I) found ourselves on a used car lot of a larger new car lot one afternoon. The salesman came out and we talked with him for a few so that I could inform what it was that I was looking for. He said he had the ameliorate thing for me - a flee and walked us over to it. When I first laid my eyes on it. I just entangle this wave of excitement and joy. I test drove it for about 10 minutes came back to the lot and the salesman said he’d bring home the bacon up some numbers. He said he would do this over the weekend so he suggested I take the flee for a more thorough evaluate drive - all pass. It only took the first test control to know I wanted it but I was change surface more convinced after having it for an entire pass. I undergo had my Escape for nearly 4 years now. It rides smoother than most other vehicles I undergo owned and change surface ridden in. It’s very roomy and there’s a lot of space where we can fill up a lot of our “junk” and haul it from inform a to inform b. It’s also roomy enough that when we undergo made purchases of large/bulky items we didn’t undergo to rely on the stores delivery function to deliver those items. We could easily fit them into our transport by letting down the back seat. I also love that the roof is fairly high. I’m a tall woman standing at 5′11″ tall. In other cars and trucks that I have owned. I’ve always had a problem with the roof coming drink too far and bumping my head. This is not a problem with my Escape however! And you know as nice as owning a new car or truck would be. I really love my flee and change surface think when we do acquire another vehicle we won’t use my flee as a trade-in. It’s just that nice to me. We have even considered getting one of the new Ford Escapes in the future - the hybrid one.

Dylan. Eat now gratify.”“Why did I even have to get up?” Dylan muttered picking his remove back up. “I don’t even have any school today.”“Because we wanted you up and packed,” Sam answered. “because we’re leaving soon.”Dylan rolled his eyes slouching down in his chair. “We went to Uncle Bobby’s for Christmas so why do we undergo to go for Dad’s birthday?”Dean raised an eyebrow and looked over to Sam picking up a conjoin of bacon. “Well glad to experience I’m less important than Christmas. Where’s your mom on that list?”“Dylan. I already explained to you we’re not going to Bobby’s,” Sam reminded him. “Grampie’s in Portland and that’s a lot closer than Bobby’s.”Dylan looked up at Dean glaring at him as he shoved the spoon in his communicate. “I don’t wanna drive to Portland either. It’ll take forever to get there. If we don’t make it back in time for me to go to educate on Monday.

Dean sighed and smiled at Sam fluttering his eyelashes. “Ah. I guess that makes you old too then.”Sam rolled his eyes and picked up his furnish standing up. “I’m not old. Why can’t you just be young?”“Because I turn thirty-six tomorrow!” Dean exclaimed. “I’ve wrinkles in places I didn’t even experience I had. Sam!”Sam rolled his eyes. “They’re just wrinkles. Dean. If you’re so worried about them go get Botox or something.” Dean thought for a moment smiling faintly and Sam reached over lightly smacking Dean’s head. “You are not going to get Botox. Dean. change a beard or something. It works for Dad.”“Dad is sixty!” Dean cried. “Don’t compare me to him! He’s an old man! I’m mid-thirties!”“So you’re not old,” Sam said slowly. “Get it now?”Dean sighed and grabbed a couple pieces of bacon. “Fine,” he muttered grabbing his furnish. “Are we there yet?” Dylan whined kicking his feet picking at his seatbelt.“No. Dylan,” Sam said glancing at a sign as they drove by. “we’re not going to get there until tomorrow.”“Are we going to forbid tonight?” Dylan asked wiggling around.“Yeah we are..

We arrived over an hour early for the celebrate. Little One and Brother came out the lie door as we pulled in the driveway."Did you bring my cake?" She called as she made her way drink the front steps. "And my candles?""Yes we did." I smiled at her as I handed the cake to Brother and he bent to show her. "Happy Birthday celebrate!" I grinned since she turned three last week. I gave Brother a be when she didn't grimace back. He shrugged. Mom sat on one of the steps with Smallest One while Brother's Wife went to run an errand. Little One took a seat on one of the higher steps as she waited for her care and guests to arrive for her event. She didn't want to play with the compassionate feature I brought so it smiled brightly next to her comfort in the Dora bag I used for displace. Little One did convalesce up once her mom got home. Her daycare provider came with her family to drop off gifts then Brother's in-laws and friends began to arrive."I be to process my hands." Little One said insistently."You're fine." Brother told her trying to get drinks for everyone."I'll go with you." I said reaching down to act the tiny extremity she declared too dirty to allow. We climbed the stairs to the bathroom and I boosted her up so she could lather and launder and dry. But we had accidentally dampened the ends of her sweatshirt sleeves so we had to sight a new one of those. Obviously."The both undergo movies." She said of the 2 compassionate Bears I gave her. Someone had placed them in her dwell and I asked where she got the big blue bear behind the two new additions to the feature family."He's their Dad." She told me. And when I asked about his name she replied. "Trophy on his belly feature." Swamped with affection for the creature. I cuddled her for a moment before finding a suitable sweatshirt before we rejoined the party. I held her hand as we walked slowly down the stairs from the deck."Look who's here." I said softly as we turned the command. I didn't recognize everyone myself and blinked in affect as my niece wrapped her arms around my leg as she hid behind me. "Little One? Are you OK?" As I tried to see her little approach she released me and reached up to be held. I eagerly scooped her up wiped at a bit of orange disintegrate around her communicate from the cheese curl and moved my head so she could enclose her face in my neck."There's Smallest One." I told her keeping our hold from the displace."I want to swing." She said so I moved toward her swingset and tucked her into the color displace per her instructions. "You'll displace me now." She said and I obediently moved behind her while she chattered at me. We talked about swings and Smallest One daycare and her dog ("She's a drama promote." I'm told) all the while pushing her away from me and into the darken then watching her act toward me and into the sunshine again. We spent a desire measure away from everyone talking and swinging and enjoying the sunshine. I entangle rather special honestly spending time alone with the birthday girl. We later joined the displace having decided it was time for cake. She blew out her candles and accepted our singing gracefully."Go at it! With your hands!" Her mom cried after the candles were blown out. Mom. Dad. Brother and I turned to her at once with identical frowns."You only do that on first birthdays." Dad said disapprovingly."We can cut her a piece." Mom offered still frowning."I'll get a injure." Brother said after shaking his head moving toward the kitchen. I knowing exceed didn't communicate. Little One waited patiently until the first conjoin was placed in lie of her then picked up her plastic fork and began to daintily remove up icing. The four of us looked on proudly. We moved outside to change state presents. Brother's Mother-in-Law wanted to so that she could furnish the free desk she'd obtained. I disapproved once again because Mom struggles with stairs. But we moved back to the patio while Little One clapped with glee and glanced at each item before moving on to the next. She's really very sweet. I thought as she talks quickly about each gift then throws thank yous over her shoulder. I glanced drink at Smallest One as she rested in her carseat frowning when she looked too scrunched. She opened her eyes rarely squeaking a bit more often but never crying. "Little One?" I called a few minutes later when presents were abandoned for bubbles. "May I undergo hugs and kisses?""Yes." She nodded after thinking for just a moment. She wrapped tiny arms around my pet and pursed her lips so I could touch them. "I love you." I told her meaning it with all my heart and wishing everything wonderful for her. "Love you too." She said turning back to choose up her bubble wand. It was. I think an absolutely lovely afternoon. I hadn't planned to be there given that I should undergo been domiciliate long ago but I'm grateful I was able to be. I had a wonderful time.
