Just some fun stuff today, then I have to prepare for a big interview next week for TheHighCalling.org with the President of Walden Media. (I’m not excited about that or anything.)
First, Mary DeMuth is going on a blog tour for her new book Authentic Parenting in a Postmodern World. (I’ve got an ARC copy, and it’s great.) She may still have a few books to give away over at her blog. You should go check. And even if you don’t get her book, you should participate in the blog tour. We’re going to be measuring effectiveness again. Who knows what new secret formula we’ll discover this time?!
Second, my old man finally got onto the blogosphere. You may know him from the comment sections around here as “Shep.” Yesterday he became PapaPoet. I know he’d appreciate comments on his first poem there about his old man. (Love you, dad.)
Third, I talked with Dawud Miracle on the phone yesterday. This guy has some kind of incredible business sense. He and I talked about how to bring more focus to this blog. So look for that in the near future. I may actually start writing about editing again!
Fourth, Craver shared the funniest video I have seen in a long time. So here’s a man hug to Dad, Dawud, and “Double O” Craver. (Sorry, Mary, ladies don’t get man hugs.)

PapaPoet’s first line of his first poem was pure genius! I could totally identify with it. I’m sure we will not have the same emotion from it. Nevertheless, it’s an unforgettable line.
Yeah, it made me laugh that he posted that poem first. The imagery is funny, in stark contrast the serious tone of alienation that I get from that poem–especially at the end.
Hilarious video! I guees there are many types of hugs….
I’d love to see you do more editing posts! That would be great.
By the way, would you had a chance to answer my last email editing question? I’m still curious
Thanks!
Oh my gosh - I laughed so hard, tears ran down my face and I had trouble catching my breath! Why, oh why, is it so hard?!?
Hilarious - thanks for being great at all kinds of hugs ;).
Oops - that last comment was me, not you. I’ll get this blog thing down eventually.
Eve, I’m working on some editing posts now. I hope to return to the blog’s purpose a lot more often.
And I printed your questions this morning… then left them on the printer. Sorry for the delay. Life and work just got away from me for a bit there.
Great! Look forward to seeing more.
I’m cuing them up today.
