“Hey, poet are you okay, get the heat fixed yet??
Are you working on your manuscript - hope you are not ill.
Check in okay?’

Got heat back, and things are OK, just been busy. I’ve written a book in three days, and its been a trip. Its about comparing my life and values with life today, and civers a lot of things.

The chapters are;
Service (when service was normal, like the old gas station attendant)
School
The Black Sheep of the Family (yes I’m there)
Values
World Opinion (of America)
Holiday (and Holy Days)
Music
Cars
Jobs
Maturing passed acceptable limits (aging)
Appreciating
Humor
Shopping is like Directions (women will hate this one)
Handling disasters
Health Care Fiasco
Relocation Blues
BC to AC (Before Computers to After Computers)
Pets We’ve Been Owned By
Summation by a Curmudgeon

It seems to be writing itself, and I’m going along for the ride, and its been a hoot.

A book in three days ...

Wait a minute! It took me a month to write ninety thousand words. Have you got one of those Kurzweil Mind-Reading Interfaces?

I thought they didn’t become available until 2017 ...

( didn’t, won’t ... time travel tenses are so confusing!)

Hiya, Poet!!

My word, you have been busy burning up the pages. I really want to read this book! Way to go- just keep turning them out.

You mentioned the book is writing itself - WOW that is terrific.

Glad all is well at home base and that you and Nan have heat.
