I told her she could do a lot better than this low-rent artist.<br /><br />Shame you can't do stuff like that in email.Daniel Keys Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12992599044462413412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29640480.post-39743660531299068392010-03-01T18:29:06.808-08:002010-03-01T18:29:06.808-08:00I've been shutin today.

(A really good pitch that you know is bogus is sometimes worth paying for, to encourage the creativity. I liked the panhandler with the sign that said, "Ninjas killed my family -- need money for karate lessons." Give the man a dollar, it's worth the smile. <br /><br />I'm not good enough to always know the truth when I hear it, but now and then my bullshit detector blares loudly enough so I have to listen to it.

Usually a mother with a sick child wanting a book or an autograph. <br /><br />And there must be a wholesale JY fan club in Outer Slobovia because everyone in the ex USSR states seem to want my autograph but I don't recall selling books to any of those places.<br /><br />Hard to take it seriously anymore.

I've heard every sob story imaginable. When they wake me up at all hours of the night (tap, tap, tap on the sleeper) I'm generally not too receptive.<br /><br />Regarding your books.<br /><br />Read most of them. I particularly liked the "big guy" in the matador series. I always wanted to be big and strong. Most boys did I guess.<br /><br />Can't recall any suicidal thoughts either...<br /><br />Homicidal?...well that's a different kettle of fish...evmickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06345726039742529074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29640480.post-661206178976115232010-03-01T11:43:50.306-08:002010-03-01T11:43:50.306-08:00My daughter wrote that one.
