The reason I wasn't able to blog as much last week as has been typical most weeks was the fact I was feeling better health wise and busy working on a pair of books. I finished all 374 footnotes for both books by late Thursday night and have been resting my mind until today. My goal this week will be to proofread and edit the books one more time, before having a second person do likewise, and then sending away for the proof copies. I'm hopeful I'll be able to finish my part by Thursday, since my birthday is on Friday. Hopefully the second party will be able to finish their proofreading over the weekend or by the following weekend at the latest. If all goes according to plan, the books should be available to purchase sometime between March 7th and March 14th. I'll be sure to post another such update next week with more specifics (I hope). Stay tuned...

This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...
