 Mid-Summer Foolishness
Well, it's typical late July here; hot and humid and I'm just passing time.
 
I knew I needed to add something new to this page, but inspiration has been as scarce as rain around here, so I decided to to borrow someone else's humor.
 
It all started this morning when I was goofing with some of the folks at work.  I was telling them about this silly "mod" movie from the sixties called The Cool Ones, and how it ends with Mrs. Miller waddling out, dressed as a seamstress, and warbling one of her horrendous ditties and wowing the crowd.  Sure enough I found it tonight on You Tube.  So, since it had me rolling on the floor as it did forty years ago, I decided to share it here.  Oh!  And while you're on that page at You Tube, I strongly suggest you check out Mrs. Miller's rendition of "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'."  It completely blows away that Texas skank who used to be married to Nick Lachey! 
 
 
Enjoy!
 
PS:  Friday, August 1st:  Oh, Lord, what have I started?  Emails with Mrs. Miller You Tube videos are flying fast and furious at work and among friends and acquaintances.  If there is a Mrs. Miller revival this year, I want ALL the credit!

When I'm Not Writing...
 
UPDATE:  If you are on Facebook I hope you'll join the NICK POFF Author of the HANDYMAN series group for discussions, updates, and more. 
 
 
 
 
The sad but honest truth is that most writers need to supplement their income with something other than writing.  I've worked in the radio industry since the tender age of sixteen, and for the same two radio stations for the past twelve years.  We call it The Hotel California -- you can check out but you can never leave!  It's amazing how people go, but then seem to come back at some time, including me.  Radio has been good to me, and although there are still times I regret not sticking with the writing thing at an earlier age, it's been an interesting ride. 
 

Things I'm Enjoying....

Forever - Pete Drake   (This is the strangest MP3 I have ever purchased on Itunes.  I can't decide if it was taken directly from a really abused master tape, or recorded from an LP.  The right channel actually drops out about fifty seconds into the song.  Bootlegs on Itunes?  Can it be?  Oh well.  It's one of my favorite songs from the early 60's, so I paid $1.29 to have it on my Ipod, but I don't recommend anyone else pay for it unless they love it as much as I do.)
