3-1/2 Weeks
The countdown is ON! I’ll be leaving in 3-1/2 weeks for a road trip adventure. I’m looking forward to posting and tweeting about it along the way. There’s a wedding at the end of the road. I hope the happy couple have as successful a marriage as I’ve had.

Commune – Readers Favorite 4-star Review!
Ladies and Gentlemen,
This is a BIG BRAG MOMENT for me! I’m so happy to share this with you all.
I’ve been waiting for a review from this website since February, but there is no reading queue. Reviewers pick and choose among submissions, so I’m delighted that someone finally found my title intriguing enough to give it a try. THANK YOU Lit Amri! I am so grateful!

Punch-Car Blue
Punch-Car Blue
it’s been a long time since I was a child. Back then, we used to play a pretty brutal back-seat road trip game called Punch-Car Blue. If someone saw a Volkswagen Beetle, they would try to be the first to shout: “Punch-Car Blue!” or green, or red, etc. You would then be allowed one punch to the person next to you. If you saw a woodie station wagon, you shouted: “Woodie! 1-2-3-4!” and you would get four punches to the person next to you.
I imagine that children are no longer allowed to play such a violent game, but maybe they do. Woodies are gone now, so maybe they could substitute limousines. Volkswagen Beetles are not as prevalent as they once were either. Maybe Mini-Coopers would make a suitable alternative.
What road trip games do kids play today? I hope their games are entertaining.

Typos
I remember being a child in school, and seeing a typo in a book or an advertisement was a huge find that gave a person a sense of pride. Today, it’s a routine occupation as a person reads, or simply goes through a typical day. Pick any random day and count the number of typos you find in a single day. Let’s make this a personal challenge for all of us.
