Yep, it's Wednesday the 20th and all downhill to September and Labor Day:

Now, you guys, no one can agree when we have the first NFL game, so here's what we'll do: EVERYONE tune in Thursday night football, the 4th to watch the Green Bay Packers play the Seattle Seahawks. If they're not on, then we'll know everything begins the 7th -- how's that for an equitable solution?

THE LOST KEY is getting really really stupendous reviews -- that's always nice since reviewers usually like to throw a "left-handed" compliment in there somewhere, like, "Despite too many bodies and too many suspects, which makes the story less realistic, Mr. McGoo's book moves smartly forward and will please fans." See what I mean? (Yes, I made that up). But no left-handed comments in the reviews so far of THE LOST KEY. J.T. sent me an over-the-top laudatory review yesterday that made me ask her how much she'd paid the reviewer --

The HCF was amazing yesterday, as usual. (If you don't know what HCF means, then tell me and perhaps I'll let you know). Lots of yummy goodies of the eating variety, lots of laughter and, all right, I'll admit it, some raunchy stories. The server used "beautiful:" every other word, like after one of us ordered avocado egg roles, she says beautiful, after someone orders iced tea, she says beautiful. I started saying awesome instead and it soon became the mantra of the table.

Have an awesome, beautiful day!
