Book Covers, Auto Repairs and Medical Procedures

Last week turned out to be fairly busy.
On Tuesday, I had a meeting with a fellow who may be able to help me get THE OLD COOT made into a short movie, and as I was on my way home. I noticed that the engine caution light on my dashboard had come on. So, I took my 2000 Honda Accord (with 38K miles on it) over to my mechanic and left it overnight.
Next morning, he called me to let me know that his computer couldn't read the codes for my car, which meant I now had to take it over to the local Honda dealer, and he told me that it needed a new air sensor...whatever that is. Unfortunately, they did not have the part in stock, so I had to leave the car again overnight. I finally got it back on Thursday.
Also around that time, the book designer for my forthcoming 2nd memoir, LIFE, LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF HOLLYWOOD, sent me a first pass on the book's cover. It was a basic concept that surprised me, but that I liked. However, it does need some modifying, which will probably happen this coming week.
Correction: Last week, I believe, I told you that I was going to turn a half finished screenplay that had been sitting on my shelf for years into a novel. That may still happen, but I've decided to finish the screenplay version of this story first.
Finally, today (Monday) I will be prepping for a medical procedure that I have to undergo tomorrow and every five years. I'll be "out" for the procedure, but the prep is a bitch. Those of you who have gone through this will know what I'm talking about.
You have a creative week.
Michael
