Good day faithful reader. As you can probably surmise from the title, there is a lot to talk about today. Well, on with the show!
On my last vacation I had some really good conversations with my brother-in-law and his best friend. They are massive fans of heavy metal/hard rock music and have recommended Iron Maiden to me. All I can say is this: Holy Crap! Where have I been? I must have been hiding under a rock and listening to Metallica and Ozzy all my life! Oh wait! I have! To make a long story short, I am now the proud owner of 5 of their albums and am working on getting more. I am familiar with a couple of their songs via the Guitar Hero games, but because they were extremely hard I shied away. Well not anymore!
It was my birthday this past weekend and we celebrated as usual. I am grateful that my beautiful wife made me a cake and celebrated the anniversary of my birth! Since I am on the high end of my 40’s and 50 is in sight, I am grateful and humbled to have her in my life. Love you!
Update on my eye issues: Still freaking screwed up. I finally gave up and made an appointment with my Ophthalmologist and he was able to determine that I have ANOTHER chalazion! WTF! Well, I am back on a special ointment to put in at night and I have ANOTHER surgery is my future, but not until the end of the month! Effin-great.
Well, it’s been almost a week since New Homestead was released to the world. I have sold a whopping 5 paperbacks and 32 eBooks. Not great, but you know what? I’m not doing it for the monetary gain, but for the fun of it. So much so that I am getting geared up for a fantasy series that is a combination of Legend of Zelda, Dungeons & Dragons, Lord of the Rings and the comic series of Infinity Gauntlet! But before I get started on that I need to keep working on Home Sweet Home. Due out next September! That’s right sports fans, I have set a rough date of September 2022 to release the final installment of the Hawkins Family Trilogy. It’s shaping up to be another traveling/journey story.
TTFN!
