Still true after all these years.

 This is a repost from rather a lot of years ago.  Some of you will have seen it, some of you will not.  However, as my title says, it is most definitely still true.

Very, very personally.  Whether they admit to the acquaintance or not. 

Which means that this next gem is also true.

I use those difficult people (too many of them family) to take a kind of personal audit.  And it is overdue.  At the moment I am not liking my bad tempered mean spirited whinging self.  At all.  Action is required.

With a little help from...

 And how I wish the winebulance was an option open to me at the moment.  Ongoing nausea means it is not.  Big, big sigh.  I can see an opening for that business - world wide.

Reaching Out - A Repost

When I read this post yesterday at Laura Eno's blog I was touched.  I don't know Chad, but my heart goes out to him, so I am reposting on his behalf.  I have stolen the post in its entirety, and here it is.

Totally taken from Elizabeth Seckman‘s blog,
who totally took it from Peggy Eddleman‘s blog:
A call for help from one writer to all the others!!
We have a comrade in need:
Chad Morris.
While Chad’s book is launching, he’s not busy marketing…he’s fighting along side his nine-year-old daughter as she battles a brain tumor.
(I can’t even imagine. The very thought takes my breath away.)
*The sentence above are Elizabeth’s words but I can’t improve on them*
Chad can’t be all over the net right now, but WE can!!!

Imagine a school in the year 2074 where students don’t read history, but watch it happen around them; where running in gym class isn’t around a track, but up a virtual mountain; and where learning about animals means becoming one through an avatar.

Welcome to Cragbridge Hall, the most advanced and prestigious school in the world. Twin siblings Abby and Derick Cragbridge are excited as new students to use their famed grandfather’s inventions that make Cragbridge Hall so incredible. But when their grandfather and parents go missing, the twins begin following a trail of clues left by their grandfather. They must find out where their family is, learn who they can trust, and discover what secrets are hidden within Cragbridge Hall.
Abby and Derick soon realize they are caught in a race with a fierce adversary to discover their grandfather’s greatest secret–a dangerous discovery that could alter both history and reality.

About Chad:
Chad Morris grew up wanting to become a professional basketball player or a rock star. (Inspired by Animal from the Muppets, he’s been banging on drums since he was eight years old.) After high school, he wrote and performed sketch comedy while going to college, and eventually he became a teacher and a curriculum writer. He lives in Utah with his wife and five kids. Chad would love to teach at Cragbridge Hall.

Unlike Oscar Cragbridge, however, he hasn’t really invented anything, though his son once sketched out blueprints for a machine that would turn celery into cookies.
