To all of you who have either helped in the creation of my novel or have supported my efforts, I’m thrilled to announce that my producer has signed an agreement with a screenwriter to adapt the book into a screenplay beginning in July. This is a giant step toward actually seeing (hopefully in my lifetime) the story on film.
Thanks to all of you for your continued support.
Best,

Glamour up with sparkles
and satin this holiday season
Hopefully, you’re doing
something for New Year’s Eve.
I personally never miss the
opportunity to dress up at this
festive time of the year. The
question is what to wear.
If you’re lucky, there’s no
need to look beyond your closet
for that little black dress.
With a few well-chosen accessories
(a sparkly
shoe and a
colorful
clutch) you’ll look both classic
and current. This year, it’s all
about glamour. If you’re really
daring, a fully sequined cocktail
dress is a popular choice.
But if your dress is a statement,
keep your accessories
simple – maybe an oversized
cocktail ring and diamond (or
fake diamond) earrings.
If you prefer separates,
nothing looks smarter than a
pair of black crepe or satin
pants coupled with a red
smoking jacket. You can amp
up this look with embellished
flats or glittery platforms.
Once you’ve chosen your
outfit, pay attention to your
make-up. Stay away from dark
lipstick. Your best lipstick bet
is a shade closest to your natural
lip color. And never outline
your mouth with a dark liner.
A dab of lip gloss will make
you look years younger.
Instead of playing up your lips,
concentrate on your eyes as
your feature attraction.
Choose an eye
s h a d ow
that will make your eyes pop.
For brown or hazel eyes, golds
and lavenders are gorgeous.
Blue eyes look great with bluegray
and lighter browns. Try an
eye pencil instead of liquid
liner. Soften the line with a QTip
or your finger. And don’t
line the inside of your eye. It
will make your eye appear
smaller. Be careful of shimmer.
It can illuminate every
line, wrinkle and pore. A little
on the cheeks is fine. The main
rule to remember is the heavier
your make-up, the older you
look.
When it comes to a holiday
hairstyle, think soft. If you like
an updo, be careful with the
tendrils. They went out of
style a decade ago. Please, no
severe buns. Your hair should
move. Unfussy is always good,
but messy is never flattering.
Remember, the way we
look gives us confidence. So
take your time to look fabulous
and go out and rock the world.
Wishing you a happy and
healthy 2012!

As the holiday spirits were flowing last night, I thought I would share
this experience about drinking and driving.
As you well know, some of us have been known to have brushes with the
authorities on our way home from social occasions over the years.
So, two nights ago, New Years Eve, I was out partying with some friends and
had a few too many beers and some rather nice wine. Knowing full well I
may have been slightly over the limit, I did something I've never done
before.... I took a bus home.
I arrived home safely and without incident, which was a real surprise,
as I have never driven a bus before and am not sure where I got this one.
New Year's Day, my son and his wife invite me to dinner and I’m faced the annual conflict of which was more important - the football games on television, or the dinner itself. To keep peace, I ate dinner with the rest of the family, and even lingered for some pleasant after-dinner conversation before retiring to the TV room to turn on the game. Several minutes later, my son came into the TV room and graciously even bought a cold drink for me. He smiled, gave me a hug and asked what the score was. I told him it was the end of the third quarter and that the score was still nothing to nothing. "See?" he said, continuing to smile, "You didn't miss a thing."
Coming out of church one day, and the priest was standing at the door as he always is to shake hands.
He grabbed me by the hand and pulled me aside.
The priest said to me, "You need to join the Army of the Lord!"
I replied, "I'm already in the Army of the Lord, “
Priest questioned, "How come I don't see you except at Christmas and Easter?"
I whispered back, "I'm in the secret service.
Had to include this one........
One more.........
This guy goes into a restaurant for a Christmas breakfast while in his home town for the holidays. After looking over the menu he says, "I'll just have the eggs benedict." His order comes a while later and it's served on a big, shiny hubcap. He asks the waiter, "What's with the hubcap?"
The waiter sings, "There's no plate like chrome for the hollandaise!"
