It's C - O - O - L - E - R

Hey there,
As you may know....school is just around the corner and it is the only act around that puts the Olympics in 2nd place of priority if you have a school age child!!! So, in light of that, my weekly nuturing has been spent in soothing a lot of disgruntled paretns, teachers, etc. on issues that just aren't working out to their best advantaged!!

This means that there has been no time to finish authoring anything! Drats! and wouldn't you know that the ideas continue to flow like crazy! If you haven't made the connection yet, the DD represents my pen name which has become a reality for future works. Now, what'd you think?


The Dallas weather has eased to cooler, -100, becomes quite special for walking, sitting, lounging, gardening, goofing around, grilling or you name it...just getting to the outside world. Try on 69 degrees at commute to work time this am.

Here's hoping you have followed the Facebook account to this blog to get a great big Dallas welcome! If you're a writer, check out the DFWWW web site for the latest info on one of the larger writers' group in the DFW Metroplex.

As an update on all the grans, school bells are ringing for almost everyone: Samantha and Michael began school in Alvin ISD, Alvin, Texas, and I hope to post one of their school pictures soon.....they enter the 4th and 1st grades ......Erika and Emily now celebrate some successful weeks getting settled in San Paulo, Brazil and in second grade with their 'very nice' new teacher, new friends, new house, and new member in their household, a boxer called Roxy; Nilson returns to his school as a robust 4 years old, and Charlie goes too this year now that he's two. 2008 holds many exciting adventures for all the members of the troop.
