Carol King is BEAUTIFUL

So much going on!
  We saw BEAUTIFUL last night and I highly recommend it to everyone! Interestingly, it was not just about her but also about the musical writers they were in competition with: Mann and Weil.  And all their music was MY music (and probably yours.)
We had spent the early part of the day just sitting on the red chairs in Times Square and watching the flow of the interesting pedestrians.
 Found out that
Should be on Kindle by early next week.
Today is the NYC Tenement Museum to learn something of how our ancestors lived.

My wife and I are in NYC.
 Last night we saw my cousin, Ken Greves give fine jazz performance at Natumbo's down on 2nd Ave.  Great job, Ken! While there we met his partner for the first time and he was a sweet, young man.
 Just got back from Times Square. People watching, eating junk food and watching some sweet girls getting fully body painted and jiggling around--too bad we had to leave!
 Going to see 'Beautiful' this evening and the Tenement Museum tomorrow.

Sequel to BONE TEAR has begun

While the ABIGAIL'S BLOOD PASSION is is it's final few weeks of gestation, I've decided to go through all the pages of several legal pads and being the sequel to BONE TEAR.  It will be called THE AGONY of BONE TEAR...all I can promise those who've asked for it, is that it will be far darker than the original.

It must be February 48th because it's freakin' SNOWING!
  So what's happening?  I FINALLY got my website <hhhauca.com>  up and running but it will be a work in progress--what self-inflicted torment we writers put ourselves through!
 ABIGAIL'S BLOOD PASSION is on the cusp of publication! C'mon CreateSpace!
 When Abigail is up and running I can begin working on THE AGONY OF BONE TEAR to satisfy myself and the readers of BONE TEAR (got a lovely review of it today).
 I'm really going to try to get on here more often...mea culpa.

The Upside of Oral Surgery

Is there anything worse than sitting in  a reclined chair while a stranger with two assistants do unspeakable things to your mouth? Well, ok, there are a lot worse things but you know what I mean.
 I was prepared for the ordeal by first taking some temapzepam an hour before the event. This, I was told, was for anxiety...of which I had none, really. I knew this whole thing was not going to be fun from the beginning.
  Arrived at the posh office and everyone was all polite smiles and cheerful dispositions and I wondered why it took two no nonsense assistants to usher me into the office. Did they think I would make a break for it?
 Dentist arrives promptly and is filled with assurances but at least he does not offer any jokes as he begins to inject the local anesthetic into all parts of my mouth--so much that the tip of my nose goes numb and that's ok because then they hook me to the nitrous oxide. Now I've never had 'laughing gas' or 'sweet air' before and I was hoping to get some sort of rush.  You've no idea how disappointed I was!
It was explained to me that this would make me less conscious of how much time I'd be worked on. Well, the nine hours of lying there and listening to the cracks and buzzing felt just like nine hours!
  I do have to admit that I did feel groggy when it was all done--they wheeled me out to my patient wife who'd had her hair done and all I could day way "Mgrmmph" as my mouth was stuffed with gauze.
Feel good today, however and the best part is that i should stick to cool/cold beverages for the next several days and no strenuous activity which means I can write, watch TV, write and drink beer! So back to the final proof of ABIGAIL'S BLOOD PASSION!
