A little Bit of Everything

I usually prepare my weekly post over the weekend then not worry about it the last few days before it goes up. I like to do that with any deadline. I can cram if I have to but I was taught “work first, play later.” I try to stick to it. This week was different. I went to the Marlins game Sunday, thinking I had an easy week ahead. I’m working on a novel proposal and kept on schedule to hand in the opening chapters to my agent the end of this week.

I put off the blog knowing I had an easy day today and then life jumped in. I ended up working until late Wednesday night. It happens and I kinda like the change. The night has a different beat to it than the day. It was a simple surveillance and arrest of an armed drug trafficker. He was stopped and taken into custody without incident. All was right except I had no blog written.

So here are some general remarks:

First, I was quite impressed by the shirtless photos of Paul from his younger days. It looked like Mr. Levine had time to work out as well as practice law and write novels. The mystery of Rene may now be solved.

Here is a photo of me from the sixties. It was the only shirtless one I could find.

I’d also like to give a hearty shout of congratulations to two nice guys who have their debut novels come out this week. In no order :

Brett Battles who hits the streets with The Cleaner.

And Jason Pinter offers The Mark.


I’m looking forward to both.

How's that for a little different post from me? No whinning about my weight, the problems of writing or the dangers of living in beautiful Florida. I have one blog coming up I'm excited about posting but it is not ready. It's a photo heavy essay on people who annoy me. Not just the usuals like co-workers or neighbors but people I have no reason to dislike. Famous people who should be beaten but aren't.
