Credo"Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Relocating?

Wow. . .I read that whole page looking for something about a baby before I finally got it.
So when will the leather-bound, hardcover editions of “Rhythms” spring forth from Lex’s swollen womb?
Hmm. . .I guess metaphors only go so far before they just get weird. . .
Doesn’t take too long, either!
Seriously, Lex, if Stephen Coonts can make a gazillion dollars of his books, you should at least be able to break even on a novelization of Rythms… get crackin’
Ah , ’tis sad indeed.
We speak but he seems not to hear …
Oh, it’s not about listening. It’s about believing. And making the time.
But thanks.
Time I can understand, my good host. Believing? C’mon, Bill LaBarge was able to get a two book deal. All he did was fictionalize his last cruise. Yours just needs a little editing.
What he said.
But it’s about believing in yourself in yourself, Lex. Now as I understand it (and please correct me if I’m wrong) fighter pilots aren’t known for lacking self-confidence …
Make a commitment. Make it happen.
Then sit back and funnel some away into the post-retirement retirement fund. There’s nuttin’ in it for us. Honest.
Husbands aren’t supposed to offer critiques of their wives’ literary efforts, or their baby producing struggles for that matter, as I’m sure many of you husbands know. They’re supposed to lead the cheering section. Jules does this charmingly.
