I would love that. Hey, and give Marge a tweak of the tail for me..my cat loves it…it’s like a ‘love thing’. Enjoy the rest of you Sunday afternoon!

Ciao Dave!
I was wondering if you’d be interested in participating in the Writing Process Blog Tour. It’s not obligatory, but it is quite fun, and I’d love to see what your responses are. My posting date will be the 9th of June, and yours will be the 16th of June – but don’t worry, I’m not going to enforce that! If you can’t make it, you can’t make it. And the posting date for the three people you pick in turn will be the 23rd of june, and the people they pick will post on the 30th, etc.
So pretty much all you need to do is:
Step 1: Acknowledge the person and the site that involved you in the blog tour. My blog is http://ineedafeed.wordpress.com
Step 2: Answer the 4 questions below about your writing process.
1. What are you working on?
2. How does your work differ from others of its genre?
3. Why do you write what you do?
4. How does your writing process work?
Step 3: Say who your three choices of bloggers are, and give a brief bio and link to the website of each of them. Again, their date will be the 23rd of june.
So please let me know whether you’re interested in taking part or not as soon as possible. And have a fantastic day!

Nell,
Thanks for thinking of me, but I’d rather not. As much time as I already spend on my blog and making stuff, I also have a few other things right now in my life that also take up a lot of time, and so I can’t commit to anything, even this. Sorry!! But I wish you well with your writing process blog tour, and with your blog! I look forward to seeing more of your blog posts and sharing what I’ve got! Best wishes!!

Hi Dave,
I noticed that a restaurant in upstate NY is stealing your pictures to use on their restaurants business facebook page. I can email you the images if you’d like. Here is the link to their facebook page :

Thanks so much!! I have been alerted to it by someone on Facebook unknown to me and reported it by clicking on the image and selecting “intellectual property” as the reason. It’s really an awful thing they are doing, but I don’t expect that they will bother to take it down unless a ton of other people also report it to Facebook. I have to file a report now at the Help Center on FB, which I have no idea how to do, so tomorrow, I’ll be trying to figure it out to do that when I have a break at my work. Fun times! Thanks again! I really appreciate you and the other person that alerted me on FB.

It was taken down and they sent me this lame reply to my initial request to remove the photo: “Our apologies, the person who posted it did not know better but now does. It has been removed.” I learned also from someone that the hotel that owns and runs the restaurant is going into foreclosure and owes 5 million to a bank for past loans and late fees.
