The Excellence of "E"

In this world of E-mails, E-ticket, E-paper, E-recharge, E-transfer...
Never Forget "E-shwar ( God )" who makes e-verything e-asy for e-veryone e-veryday. 
"E" is the most Eminent letter of the English alphabets.
Men or Women don't exist without "E".
House or Home can't be made without "E".
Bread or Butter can't be found without "E".
"E" is the beginning of "existence" and the end of "trouble."
It's not at all in 'war', but twice in 'peace'.
It's once in 'hell' but twice in 'heaven'.
"E" represented in 'Emotions'.
Hence, all emotional relations like Father, Mother, Brother, Sister,wife & friends have 'e' in them.
"E" also represents 'Effort' & 'Energy'
Hence to be 'Better' from good both "e" 's are added.
Without "e", we would have no love, life , wife , friends or hope.
& 'see', 'hear', 'smell', or 'taste' as 'eye' 'ear', 'nose' & 'tongue' are incomplete without "e".
Hence GO with "E” but without E-GO.*

If You Liked The Iron Giant, You'll Enjoy This Short Film.

I am in no way affiliated with this film. I'm promoting it simply because I think it has huge potential and I'd love to see it on the big screen. As a fan of The Iron Giant movie (released in 1999), which was done in cartoon form and was surprisingly touching, I would be very interested in seeing something similar done with real actors. So would my 11-year-old son, of course!

From the website:  E N V O Y is a science fiction, action adventure, short film to be used as a proof concept for a larger full-length motion picture. It is the story of a troubled young boy who befriends a deadly alien creature, and embarks on a life changing journey...Director DAVID WEINSTEIN and Visual Effects Supervisor ADAM COGGIN.

When A Rescue Dog Becomes the Rescuer

I love this true story about a rescue dog who becomes the rescuer!


Way to go Norman!


If you're considering getting a dog or cat, remember the thousands of wonderful animals just like Norman waiting for forever homes! 

After our hilarious lab/mix died of cancer earlier in the year, we were heartbroken. The house just wasn't the same. We needed another dog as much as some dog out there needed us. Rigby came to us through a shelter in Bowling Green after I found his picture and description online through Petfinder. He's a two-year-old lab mix.  He might not be a pure breed, but he's a pure sweetie.

Zombie Dad



A zombie has just bitten your arm, but you haven't turned yet. You are stranded in the middle of nowhere with your infant daughter. What would you do?  I love this video's take on it.

Old People Humor

You don't have to be a certain age to appreciate "old people" humor. My sister sent this to me, made me laugh, so I thought I'd share. 

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦

I very quietly confided to my best friend that I was having an affair.
She turned to me and asked, “Are you having it catered?”
And that, my friend, is the definition of "OLD".

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦

Just before the funeral services, the undertaker comes up to the very elderly widow and asks, “how old was your husband?”
“99,” she says. “One year older than me.”
“So you’re 98?” the undertaker comments.
“Yep,” she responds. “Hardly worth going home, is it?”

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦

A reporter is interviewing a 104-year-old woman.
“And what do you think is the best thing about being 104?” he asks.
“No peer pressure,” she replies.

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦

I’ve sure gotten old!
I’ve had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees, fought prostrate cancer and diabetes.
I’m half blind, can’t hear anything quieter than a jet engine, take 40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts.
Have bouts with dementia. Have poor circulation; hardly feel my hands and feet anymore. Can’t remember if I’m 85 or 92. Have lost all of my friends.
But, thank God, I still have my Florida driver’s license.

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦

I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape, so I got my doctor’s permission to join a fitness club and start exercising.
I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors.
I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour.
But, by the time I got my leotards on the class was over.

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦

An elder woman decided to prepare her will and told her preacher she had two final requests.
First, she wanted to be cremated.
Second, she wanted her ashes scattered over Wal-Mart.
“Wal-Mart?’ the preacher exclaimed. “Why?”
“Then I’ll be sure my daughters visit me twice a week.”

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦

My memory’s not as sharp as it used to be.
Also, my memory’s not as sharp as it used to be.

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦

Know how to prevent sagging?
Just eat until the wrinkles fill out.

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦

It’s scary when you start making the same noises as your coffee maker.

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦

These days about half the stuff in my shopping cart says, “For fast relief.”

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦

THE SENILITY PRAYER

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.

♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦

Now, I think you’re supposed to share this with 5 or 6, maybe 10 others.
Oh, heck, give it to a bunch of your friends if you can remember who they are!

Emerge from the Promised Land

It took me a while to realize that I didn't put enough thought into the original title of my book, Promised Land. In hindsight, there's a bazillion other books by the same name, not to mention movies and religious articles. After careful consideration, I decided to change the title to 
Emerge. I like how it reflects how humanity 'emerges' in so many different ways throughout the book. Drum roll, please. Here's the new cover:


The last survivors of the human race are riding out nuclear winter in an underground bunker when disaster strikes, forcing them to the surface centuries ahead of schedule. What they find blows their minds. Who can explain it? Two social misfits, Lars and Josie, work together to unravel the mystery.

"Emerge is my favorite fantasy book of the year, but I didn't fully appreciate the thought that went into it until I read the entire series. The books are brilliantly connected, yet manage to have individual self-contained plots, leaving a very satisfying feeling. The characters seem so realistic, even when they're doing fantastical things. I can't get enough of these Galatians and the new earth they live in."  - Andrea G. from Chicago, IL
