Hey guys. What do you know…I’m doing my first book signing at the Indigo Bookstore in Lakeshore Ontario. A year ago it seemed like I’d never get to this point and here it is. Come on in and you can purchase your autographed copy for only $16.95. I’m hoping for a good turnout as it’s really a popular place. There should be plenty of traffic coming in. Suzanna, (what a cool name) assured me that my slot was during peak customer time. Too cool. On Sunday afternoon November 7 between 12:00 noon and 3:00 pm, I’ll be smack right in line with the doorway. You can’t miss me. I’ll have my best smile on and be sporting a shirt that I could only wear to such a function. You’ll know why when you see it.
So feel free to hop in your buggy and visit the store. Maybe even buy a book if you really want, but just to say hi, will do just fine. Hope to see you there.

Cheese it! The cops!
Believe it or not the whole clan got together this weekend. A great time was had by all…well most of us. Jayne had dislocated her shoulder recently, and put on the best face that she could. Kim, Louie and Matt crashed at the far-back in the camper, but not before we partied around the bon-fire for hours on end. The twins were looking alike… and Louie? Well Louie was Louie. You gotta love him. Pam was just back from her two and a half week vacation at her sisters, and I am just getting over a nervous breakdown (kind of) from Pam being away. Our Thanksgiving Dinner consisted of pizza and KFC since the pork roast wasn’t behaving. I know...I know it’s supposed to be turkey…so sue me. Well as the night went on Jayne was really sore so she went to Windsor to have her shoulder checked out again or to see what they could do. After a couple of hours she called me and said “Hey I’m just entering LaSalle. How in the hell do I get home from here?
Well it looks like she went the wrong direction on the EC Row expressway.
“Um… You’re going to half to turn around and come back. You went the wrong way.” I really had a hard time doing this, because I knew that she just wanted to be home.
“I don’t want to turn around.” Her voice wasn’t really strong at this point.
“You have to. There is a back way through the county but you’ll get hopelessly lost…especially in the dark.”
Well after about an hour and a half she showed up… but not really too frazzled.
Anyway Jeff and I have the bonfire just a-roarin’ out the back. Matt comes out of the house and tells us that the OPP are on their way. Somehow Aunt Kims’ cell phone went into emergency mode and called 911. She apologized to the operator but they informed her that they have to come out anyway just in case that someone is holding a gun to her head. Hmmmmm…maybe not too bad of an idea.
Well the flames of our bonfire were about 5 feet high because we were burning some brush. I figured that I’ll just throw it all on to get it burnt before the cops come. No sooner did we get the stuff on the rip-roaring fire, and the headlights were approaching the house. The female cop was really nice about the whole thing and didn’t mention the fire. Phew’’!
If I ever turn into a bad guy I’ll make sure that Kim checks her phone at the door.

First Autograph
Well I just returned from Indigo in Lakeshore Ontario. What a special treat it was when I was informed that ‘Friday on the Trail’, would appear on their shelves in the ‘Local Author’ section. Look for it. It should be there sometime around the ides of October. Really though; that’s pale in comparison to my next point. While I was at Indigo I was asked to do a ‘book signing’. Wow! I’ll be there autographing your books…answering all kinds of crazy questions…looking all like an author as best as I can. Holy crap I think that I was less nervous when I ran across the train trestle in chapter four. Well….no…not really.
Actually I’m totally geeked out. It’s going to take place in early November, smack in the path of the front door at Indigo but it’ll be like Wal-Mart. I’ll be there chanting, “Good Day! Nice weather eh? Can I get you a cart?…Please buy my book?
It’ll be a blast!
