So Much To Do, So Much Time
Every day I make sure I do something -- something -- while I wait for the printer to run the first batch of my newly-published book,
Coffee at JJ's
. Yesterday, I created a one-page flyer, which I intend to place first in JJ's Donut Shop and later in other nearby business establishments that cater to the public.
From my neighborhood I will spread out farther afield as time goes by.
I've shown the owners of JJ's a pre-release copy of Coffee at JJ's and they seem enthusiastic about selling copies in their shop.
I wanted to insert an image of the flyer here; unfortunately, I don't know how to do it. There's a picture of the cover, but it's supposed to appear next to (rather than above) the text, in a separate column. Sigh. Anyway, here's the flyer's text:
Coffee at JJ'sSolving the World's Problems, One Donut at a Time by Charles C. Cordova
Don't worry what your spouse might say.Grab a cup of coffee, sit in your favorite chair,
and read about us as we discuss everything
from Greg's lottery fraudto the dead body Lorenzo found;from Four-Legged Mike's Halloween surpriseto Limburger Larry's 75-foot long hose.You can read Jake's recipe for Hot Panties Soup,how Frank almost got divorced on his honeymoon,and how Freddy the Freeloader
got his gasoline for nothing.
Most of us are in our late sixties or beyondbut we prefer being called older studs rather than geezers.If you spend a couple of hours reading about us,you'll find yourself smiling and even laughing out loudat our often outrageous, but always heart-warming stories.You'll be glad you did!
Here's a quick excerpt from Coffee at JJ's
(from Chapter 14, "Benny and Backup Benny"):
Since none of us smokes, I lean my head toward Benny
one morning when I notice the ashtray
that someone else has left."Those your cigarettes?" I ask.He glances at the butts briefly."Nope, not mine." "How can you be so sure?" He answers, "There's no lipstick on them."
Autographed copies are available inside JJ's Donut Shop.

That's the flyer, but just because I can't make it look nice on the 'Net is not grounds for giving up, or even slowing down. I love this line: A professional in any field is the amateur who didn't quit. So I will keep on keeping on -- even if that phrase does date me.
So enough for today.
To work!
