Topeka, Lizzie Smith

I guess the world did end, after all for some of the folks in Topeka. The devastation is beyond belief.
I can not imagine Hartford or St Francis Hospital reduced to rubble as was St. John's.

I am planning to self-publish my novel, "Best Served Cold." To do this I must upload the completed novel to amazon and also their affiliate, createspace.com. Stay tuned! I am hard at work on a sequel to BSC. It is as yet untitled.


Lizzie Smith is a young woman who is one of the central figures in my crime novel. She has been sexually and physically abused by her stepfather, and is key to the blackmail scheme that he conceives.

Earthquake in Japan

My heart goes out to the people of Japan. What awful tsunami photos!

Who is Richard Lamar St. Pierre? Wait for my book to find out.
"Best served Cold" published soon!

AT and T Voicemail

So last week we received a letter outlining AT and T's new voicemail system. My wife and I with 4 college degrees among us couldn't understand the letter! Also the guide to the system that was supposed to be enclosed in the envelope, wasn't! So, to solve the problem, we switched our service to Comcast. Just press *99- where's the easy button?

 My book is now completely edited, copied and typed. I have appointments with three literary agents in a few weeks. Ready to cast George Clooney and Laura Linney for the movie!

The Old Doctor Wonders: Gasoline prices

The Old Doctor Wonders: Gasoline prices

Gasoline prices

Now, come on! We get only 2% of oil from Libya. Egypt has NO oil. Why are gas prices so high? Big oil has us over an (oil) barrel once again.

I have mixed emotions over the situation in Wisconsin. The left part of me is sympathetic to the wage earner, but the right part of me thinks unions ARE too strong. The easy acquiescence to union demands in the past is coming home to bite us. First bitten, autos, where sweetheart contracts nearly brought the US auto industry to its knees, Next bitten, the teachers union, making it nearly impossible to fire a teacher for incompetancy.  Next up government workers, some of whom in this state, earn more than the governor!

Retirement, My novel

I am truly enjoying retirement. If I knew it was so wonderful, I'd have done it sooner, and I think I will try it for a while longer.

I have completed my crime novel, "Best Served Cold." The manuscript is being edited and will soon be submitted to a literary agent to be published.

My editor likes the book. She says it is a real page turner and has it all-murder,sex,blackmail and even redemption!

In subsequent posts, I will reveal snippets of the plot and text. Stay tuned!

Greenspan

So, Greenspan says he was 70% accurate. He is a professional, as am I. If I were 70% accurate in my profession, I would be disgraced and drummed out of my profession. Let's ignore this dope and let him sink back into ignominy.

Robert Rubin claims he was unaware of the subprime problem. Americans suffrered and he walks with millions and millions. Talk about being rewarded for incompentency! He should be tarred and feathered on Trinity Place!
