Not to be too smug

But daaaayyyyem, that was a embarrassing thrashing of #9 UNC by the gutsy little Butler Bulldogs. My dh said, "They look like choirboys, but they play like thugs." I'm beginning to think "The Butler Way" means "manhandling, elbowing and kneeing, and running up the score."
I love it. I feel safe only when my team is up by 20 at halftime.

Jenny's book out today!

Congratulations to commenter Jenny Brown, whose first book Lord Lightning comes out today! It's an Avon release, the first in a trilogy of historical romances. I've known Jenny for centuries, well, since GEnie was still the place-to-be for writers of popular fiction.

GEnie was a great place back then. I'm getting all nostalgic, the way some people do for summer camp. It was like a summer camp for writers. There was a great board for romance, and another for science fiction, and another for mystery, and I wish I had all the great writing info that was daily exchanged. I was in charge of the Craft of Writing boards in the romance section. Good stuff.

That was back when you had to type in "ATDT" and a modem string to get connected (through phone lines, yes, youngsters, we used to tie up the phone for hours, back in the dark ages). That's how Jenny and I met. It was just like Camp Winnimauga only with no mosquitoes.

My husband's book is out!

On sale early. It's about his experience and charity in the Himalayas. Check it out! It's called Bringing Progress to Paradise, by Jeff Rasley.

And for "Frequently Asked Questions," no, I do not go to Nepal and climb mountains with him. Are you kidding? I go to England and climb the steps to the cathedrals (and pubs :).

This is the dratted Book of My Heart, and I'm glad it found such a good home (and that I get to go with it :).
