Unfortunately the border consists of this big, blue, wet thing and I fear that I can't tread water for more than half the distance. The cold water really gets to me this time of year, especially at my age. Used to be a lot easier when I had a submarine. And yes, I'm used to it by now in fact I wouldn't have even noticed in the first place if my doctor hadn't had such a hard time taking my blood pressure. I guess he felt it was a tad low. Thank you kindly for celebrating on my behalf. Enjoy the wake and let me know how it went after you recover. Grandad,

Thank you kindly for celebrating on my behalf. Enjoy the wake and let me know how it went after you recover.

You should be over your own loss by now though. I will indeed consider it an honour to partake in your wake. No chance of nipping across and being the guest of honour??? Morgetron - I like the idea of a Romance suddenly switching to a Gothic Murder and then back to Romance again. Keep the readers on their toes, I say. Baino - Apparently, after a few independent tests, I have been diagnosed[?] as using both lobes in equal measure. Apparently, it's unusual, but what would I know? Sinéad - Thank you very much for posing it. It is all a new experience for me, so writing it down helps me too. Don't forget - you take a lot of the credit/blame for this blog!!

That happens in many books these day anyway. -J I do have an idea … You may have one of my middles … Who cares if the characters and plot change? That happens in many books these day anyway.

They concluded that for every year on board a submarine, a man will age, physically and mentally, approximately 5 years. This was accurate right through the Cold War when I served. Considering the above, I figure that I passed on 2 years, 3 months and 14 days ago. I therefor humbly request a belated Irish wake celebrated on my behalf to be held at your favorite pub. The time of the event is completely up to you of course. Rolling a coffin against the end of the bar and crying on the lid is strictly optional. I regret that I will be unable to attend as I'm still digging my own grave. Don't send flowers, send money. Grandad,

Two new visitors at once.. Welcome :) Openpalm - You want to be careful there. Those balls are in constant motion and you DO NOT want to end up in the yellow one! That book is strictly for the weird of mind. I mutter the Serenity Prayer to myself every morning. Morgetron - If you wanted something crude, you came to the right place but the wrong page. There are loads of obscene photos. I posted one of "<a href="http://www.headrambles.com/2007/12/20/what-the-perverts-are-looking-for/" rel="nofollow">Paris Hilton Nude Pussy</a>" a short while ago. My problem with the book is that I have the first half done, and the end complete. It's tying the two together that is bugging me!! Wow! Two new visitors at once.. Welcome :)

I was quite disappointed to find that this is not a porn site. LOL. Actually, I know ALL TOO MUCH about juggling the *ah-hum* metaphorical balls of life. I wish I could get my act together and finish the books I've started. I have many a beautiful beginning, and ZERO ends, beautiful, crappy, or otherwise. Nice blog you've got here. -J I came here for the express purpose of viewing someone with his balls in the air. I was quite disappointed to find that this is not a porn site.
