Weren’t we all supposed to be flying our cars around multilevel air highways like the Jetsons by now? And what about those space-needle apartments with robot maids? It’s 2008 and I’m still making my own coffee.
Never mind. It’s time to make resolutions I won’t keep.
Number 1: Go to the gym every day for three hours until I have abs like that gal on The Firm video.
Number 2: Finish every novel I’ve ever started and publish them all. Wear sunglasses to Kroger to escape adoring public.
Number 3: Serve champagne to the Publisher’s Clearinghouse Sweepstakes Prize Patrol when they come calling.
Number 4: Meet Mr. Right, the poet/cowboy/handsome/no crazy ex-wives/millionaire, live happily ever after, and such.
Number 5: Clean out the garage.
Done. If I’m going to disappoint myself it’s best to go all the way.
Seeeee? >Like I said: <>Funny<>.>As hell. >>Jet cars. Recently saw a whole program on Paul Moller who has been working on that very thing for 40+ years. Hang in there, Monda, and we should be off the ground shortly. Unless Paul kicks the airbag. >>Finish novel. I’ll settle for that—between the three I’ve begun and the current five or six short stories as well. Short attention theatre span whatever, what was I saying. And now for a quickie poem: <>short, sweet, over<> . . .>>Prize Patrol. They just left. Took check with them. I only had–gulp–<>Martinelli’s<> so they scrunched up their noses and said they were headed to your house by 5:30 or so.>>Thank you for this short and potent post. I’m laughing my ass off and—#4—looking for my old spurs. They’re somewhere in this durned garage, dangit . . .
