The Writer's Life 1/25 - A Man, A Woman, Money

More good news on the economic front: The National Association of Realtors reports that 2017 was the best year for the housing market since the mid 2000's.

Here's great picture of a celebrity suffering what a lot of common folks have - car trouble. From the NY Post's Page Six, its Ewan McGregor. Is there a guy who hasn't done this at some point in his life?:


Life never ceases to fascinate. According to the Weird But True column in the NY Post, since former porn star Stormy Daniels revealed that President Trump has a fear of sharks, donations in his name have poured into the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy. Meanwhile, her finances have certainly improved since the news of the alleged liaison broke. Do I believe the claim, of which she is bound by law to secrecy? I'd be more surprised if it weren't true. The irony here is that Bill Clinton's behavior has made such accusations seem old hat - to the frustration of leftists.

Barring the unforeseen, the Philadelphia Eagles' Nick Foles will be the second product of the Austin, Texas Westlake H.S. football program to start at QB in the Super Bowl. The other is Drew Brees.

I ordered three copies of Present and Past on 1/17. The order has finally shipped. I hope the delay means that business is so strong that it's backed up. The delivery of packages to my building finally seems to have slowed. I will not endorse the book until I've read it. If I find a lot of errors, I will go back to the drawing board... In a similar vein, I received my tax statement from Amazon's Kindle division. About 25 electronic copies of my books sold in 2017, bringing in a whopping total of $9+. My thanks to those who bought. 

Every now and then a real character visits the floating book shop. 20-something Nicholas came back twice, rendering business advice, asking if I worked for the Pentagon, skeptical that I'd written the eight books prominently displayed. The third time he returned he handed me the following and said it was what he would write a book about if he had the time:


No luck selling books on the street today.
