Cabbages and Kings
Many many things going on.
Let's see ... I finally was able to find a doctor who will take my insurance (Medicare/Evercare) and he wants me in for a full colonoscopy ASAP, but none of the local hospitals will take my insurance. So if I do find a hospital willing to take my insurance, I will have to find another doctor. So - that sucks.
Someone came up with a washing machine for me and I am clearing space in the living room to get it off the porch and into the house (so some scavenger doesn't come buy and think it is scrap metal).
My neighbor's kid is going to cut my grass. $10. My grass wasn't cut all last year and the leaves were not raked until two weeks ago. The grass is one thing, but he leaves make an ideal habitat for snakes, and we have several venemous locals.
I did a little more work on my novel, Climbing the Spiral Mountain. If asked I'll provide a link to where it coule be read online.
I am thinking about putting my previous novel, SONG OF ORPHANS, up on d for sale as PDF or hardcopy. Lulu.com is a very nice little Print On Demand company with very reasonable pricing structures. I am appalled at modern book prices - $10 for a paperback. Yow. And that is at bulk rates. With Lulu I can put up a book for $12-$15 that only has a print run of 7.
Am I being too pessimistic? Maybe I will find a way to promote it and attract some readers. That would be nice.
I found some HP Scribe disks to use for the LightScribe burner I use - i will burn "Master" disks of the educational projects I am working on for Alcoholism and Recovery.
My Anonymous Review and Virtual Speaker Meeting podcasts are gathering a bit of moment. A maximum of 109 downloads in one day, with regular numbers closer to 20 downloads a day. I just got notice that my free server is about to go away, but unless it gets into heavy (i.e. "costs extra") bandwidth, I can put up the most recent shows on the web, and archive them ten at a time on Archive.com, where I currently have public archives for Anonymous Review, Virtual Speaker Meeting, Chapel Perilous (the 1983 radio drama of which I am still proud - even if the master tapes were lost years ago), and Bertha And... (a comedy soap opera from 1977).
There is also an Archive.com location for some of my old comedy shows Adams and Roebuck, but I guess you have to be a stoned hippy from the 1970s to think they are funny. Gregg Roebuck and I had a hoot and I hope some of it makes someone giggle - or at least smirk. When you are high enough, even linoleum is funny.
I looked like we had found a friend of mine on the Social Security National Death Registry, but it turns out to be someone else with the same name, birth year and middle initial, but different Middle name. So we are back to looking for "Gym Sutton" - if you have any suggestions for searches that don't involve paying for another online service, let me know.
Quite a week.
This is an interesting video - I'm starting to really enjoy the slow motion stuff, but TIme Machine on cable (I don't have cable now, so I don't remember what channel) bores me limp. There is very little high speed imaging, and 75% of the show is just "Look ate me - look at me - look at what I can do - look at me..." I supposed they survive because their audience has come to need formula indentification with the personality, the so-called humor of people who aren't funny trying to be funny.
