I understood some of that, Randy. SSH

Since I don't know about your writing ability/experience/credentials, I'll make a generic sort of recommendation. Start by researching and contacting professional editors. A good list is online at The Creative Penn. It's a little scary to me that you say you're "halfway" through a project and have not sought some professional guidance. Again, I don't know blip about your writing or project, but the sooner you get feedback the less you'll have to scuttle. Your coach can help, or suggest help, for publishing. Good luck! SSH

Students here are to be given Chromebooks. In a "blended learning" option, they use Google Classroom in a classroom with teacher guidance. This allows for an easier transition if campuses must close. Those choosing the at-home option will use Google Classroom for instruction. If you want to read specifics, you can check out the 71730 school district website. SSH

No Forte IIs were sold at that auction. SSH

RIP Charlie Daniels. SSH

Mine, on a 20' pole, flies every day in my front yard. SSH

It's a shame that Chaucer didn't complete all of the tales that he had planned. When I taught, I tried to point out the life-influences exhibited in an author's writing; Chaucer was one of my favorites to teach and an easy one to link his experience to his stories. SSH

My mom was one of the Okies shipped to California because my grandfather couldn't feed her. My senior English students read Out of the Dust and I gave her a copy to read. One of the comments she made to me was, "I always wondered why Grandma turned the plates face down." SSH

That's mostly what I grow. They are delicious but they don't last (store) long after being picked. SSH

She's the daughter of a friend. Lots of on-stage experience. Don't let that innocent face fool you, she will steal a scene in a heartbeat, lol. SSH

I'm not sure about your question, Travis, but she and I have worked together at our arts center since the 1960s. Neither of us knew that the other had the part until the day before the first shoot. It was a very pleasant surprise. The scenes with her on the phone, and flowers at the front door were shot at my mother's house. SSH

I received no compensation. That's standard for many independent films. SSH

Brooklyn is very talented. This was to have been her graduation project from college, but the time limit was 5 min. She made another one in its' place and sent this one to festivals all over the world. Alex Jefferey shot the film. Check out his The Bespoke Tailoring of Mister Bellamy. It's a beautiful film that won the $50,000 first prize at the Louisiana Film Festival a few years ago. I helped produce his Aria For Albrights in 2017. Laura Bretan had the lead. The judges at the festival told Alex, "If you hadn't dubbed in a 30yo opera singers voice for the girl you would have placed higher." "That was her voice, Alex responded; She was the inspiration for the film." He's just finished his first full feature. SSH

Oh yes. The mud was from an oilfield rig and it never did wash out (I later found out that they added paint to darken it). SSH

Thanks, guys. It was fun, but freezing that second day with the trolley. Only stage theatre now, Seadog. SSH

I had a leading part in a short independent film called Bingo Night. It's now on YouTube. Maybe the young lady who directed it will get a few cents if you watch it. No, I don't. I think it's seven minutes long, but it has won prizes at a few film festivals. SSH

These are sold. SSH

Conflict of Wills, Choice and Consequence, Foibles, Critics of Society, and Know Thyself. I liken the "themes" to a string threaded through a necklace of pearls.

My ex brother-in-law was cutting 1/2" steel plate with a torch, when a remnant fell into his jeans. His scar is about two feet long. His co workers said that he was the best dancer in the company. SSH

I used to be a jobber for Eye Brand knives, mostly as a hobby and to earn extra cash selling at Thanksgiving and Christmas in malls. In the 1970s, their pocketknife variations numbered in the hundreds. They were my first quality kitchen knives- heavy full tang 440 stainless. All of them are still in great condition. Most of my kitchen knives are Henckels or Wusthof. I use a Gougiri sometimes, too. Of the thirty or more that I can use, my favorites are the Wusthof Le Cordon Bleu. SSH

I hope I never have to shoot someone, but I hope I shoot any SOB who threatens my life; that's why I carry a gun. Invasion? Yesterday, on the front page of our El Dorado (Arkansas) News-Times was a picture of one of three young idiots who invaded a home while armed. The home owner got to a gun and held one at gunpoint until the police arrived. Another one ran out of the house in front of a police car and was apprehended. The third got publicity after being caught later. SSH

I've smoked many. Pecan wood works best, I think. Its' smoke doesn't overwhelm the loaf. I usually use 1/3 sausage to 2/3 ground beef. If you top with ketchup or bbq sauce, I suggest that you don't add it until you take it off of the smoker. SSH

Dave is right; if these prices have legs, this is catastrophic for our oil industry, especially for small producers. SSH

I'm re-reading a textbook that I used to teach English in the 90s: BRITISH AND WESTERN LITERATURE A Thematic Approach. SSH
