Happy New Year!

January 2, 2012

Happy New Year, everybody.

I hope that 2012 will be prosperous and healthy for all of us.

First, you should be aware that I've posted two new reviews on the Best Bets on DVD site, accessible via the link on the Introduction section of this page.  They are HIGHER GROUND and SINNERS AND SAINTS, so please take a look.

And, I'll probably be posting a couple more later in the week.

Now, for an earth-shaking announcement:

After much consideration, I've decided that I am only going to write this blog on a weekly basis.  I really don't have enough material or activity to write an interesting blog every day, so barring some tremendous mid-week event, I will be posting a new column every Monday from now on, summarizing the previous week.

However, in case that "tremendous mid-week event" does occur, you might check back every couple of days or so.

Absence, as they say, makes the heart grow fonder.

I had a rather uneventful Christmas holiday.  I watched a few movies, and I've now started editing the proofs for the four screenplays I will be publishing soon, SARAH GOLDEN HAIR, MATRICIDE, UNCLE LOUIE and GHOUL CITY.

My new project after that will be to publish in one volume the 2 version I wrote of the CHEYENNE WARRIOR sequel.

Yesterday was wife Sandy;s birthday, so today I will be taking her out to dinner and, in all probability, a movie.

Now, here's a tardy Christmas joke for you:

A married couple had been out shopping at the mall for most of the afternoon, suddenly, the wife realized that her husband had "disappeared".
 
The somewhat irate spouse called her mate’s cell phone and demanded: "Where the hell are you?"

Husband: "Darling, you remember that Jewelery shop where you saw the diamond necklace and totally fell in love with it and I didn't have money at the time and said 'Baby, it'll be yours some day'."
 
Wife, with a smile blushing: "Yes, I remember that, my love."

Husband: "Well, I'm in the Bar next to that shop."

You have a creative week.
