Just checking in
Click photos to enlargeI've been swamped with work over the last couple of weeks. Deadlines, Deadlines, Deadlines! My writing project at work will be over at the end of September. I'm looking forward. In the end, I'll be a proud papa of a brand new employee reference manual. Woo hoo! No, it really is exciting. I've never done anything like it before.
I did have time to do things that really love to do. I had a chance to do some writing. I've been reading and spending time with family. This week, I watched the Democratic convention. It was so good that I was even thinking about becoming a Democrat again. Huh? No, I'm not Republican. I'm Independent...whatever that means. For me, I think it means that I haven't been interested in politics or any of this mess we call "Democracy." Now, I'm interested. We'll see what happens. Anyway, life is politics; so, guess that I've always been invoved in some form or fashion. It's definitely going to be an interesting campaign.
Anyway, summer is almost done. Fall is one of my favorite seasons. I'm highly inspired in the fall. It's my creative peak time. I'll keep you posted. Peace~
Note: Oh, I almost forgot. I'm about to unleash my first work of writing. Yes, in the form of a book. I will keep you posted about that as well. It should be sometime before Christmas. So, now you won't have to worry about what to buy your loved ones for Christmas. I'll talk to you soon. Peace~

Yes indeed become a democrat. You can support chnage on the local level. I know all this presidential stuff is sexy and entertaining and critical on some level. But for me the real work takes place at the local level. The allocation of federal dollars in Cities and towns is what makes the difference. You want to have those dollars go toward things you and other like minded folks deem neccessary and appropriate.
OOOH a book...Oh I can't wait! Yes!
im only a hop skip and a jump away
sounds like it might be cool
you know roots was filmed there too

Can't wait to hear more about the book. I love the Fall season too, lots of yummy things in season for a chef to go crazy with. : )
Keep working hard my friend and enjoying your family too. Blessings
Ani
and hats off to phyllis wheatly on this day
I've been a Democrat. I can't really say that I left the party. I just took a break. In the end, I always end up Democratic in my vote. It's the lesser evil. I'll keep you posted on the book.
James-
You can't miss the statue. It's on the pier and located just across from Middletons Seafood Restaurant. Yeah, Cynthia Mckinney is cool. I met her once in Savannah, GA back in the early 90s. Great lady.
Sista gp-
Thank you. This is going to be a small book. I will make time for the bigger project as well.
Christina-
Always good to see you too. How are you and how is your son?
Analia-
lol! Now I know what to give you, huh. :)I'll keep you posted. Good to see you. I think that I've had trouble going to your site. I'll check again.
T.Stephens-
Thanks, brother. I'll check that link for Ms. Wheatly.
I hope all has been well for you and your family. Here all has been up and down. My Pops is pretty sick, and that means lots of worries and prayers and visits... He will be ok though.
I will be anxiously awating news about the book!!! Take care!
LOL
Congrats on your manual. You go Papa!
Good to see you. I'll say a prayer for your papa. God bless him. Yes, I'll keep you posted on the book.
JB-
LOL! Thanks. How are those first days of school?
Thanks. I'm happy to see that you're still tuning in. I don't get a chance to visit blogger friends like you as much as I used to, but you're still in my thoughts. How is your son?
I'll keep you posted about the book. I have to share my words with the rest of the world. We'll see what they think.
check out my blog and you will see posts and posts and posts and posts about school.
I'm back blogging again, so I'm not just stopping by these days, I'm putting in work.
I'd like to see you around again, if you have the time.
I like your faith. :)
Cranky-
One small book on the way.
PZ-
I need to break out my Lucile Bogan cd too. Be safe down there.
Rich-
I've been following all the coverage of each candidate. It's been interesting. Palin inspires a lot of hope with the Republicans, but the true test is going to be the debates. I can't wait. As for my party afiliation, in truth, I am probably a Independent Democrat. :)
