I’m home in my fifth wheel trailer and watching Sunday Night Football as Elsa my Amazon makes a mess on the living room carpet turning a cardboard box into shredded paper. The news has been dismal as is normal even though it’s the Holiday season of Peace on Earth and goodwill toward Man.
A lot has happened since I returned from my trip to Tennessee, not least of which is the inevitable possibility as reported by The New York Times, the return of Donald Trump to the white House, even though criminal indictments still loom large. It amazes me how so many people are taken in by this man. I would have thought by now how much of a phony he is would be obvious to everyone. Yet as a man in Iowa told an NBC reporter, Trump is their salvation, or words to that effect.
It’s no secret who Putin wants to be elected President next year. He would probably give Trump lessons on how to become a dictator. It would make his life so much easier that’s for sure. He would love to see Trump abandon NATO, let Ukraine wither and die like an apple on a tree in mid-November, and allow him free reign over Europe.
At any rate, I’m sitting here watching the Ravens and Jaguars and informing you my loyal readers that I have a trailer coming out soon to promote I Albert Peabody, Confessions of a Serial Killer. The Living Word the marketing company responsible for my review of A Man’s Passion convinced me to do this project. As I write I’m in a bit of a quandary because I’m on a strict budget and can’t throw money at everyone who thinks they can market my books. So far, I haven’t received that support I so desperately want so that I can be successful.
Next Saturday I’m driving to Southeast Idaho at a town called Burley where I’m visiting my other sister Cathy and her husband Nick. Because both sisters live so far from Spokane, I had to make compromises, so both are pacified. I’m sure they’ll return the favor next year. I’m still undecided on my vacation plans for next year.
So, my loyal readers I’m once again wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year.
