Her husband took her on a balloon ride, and while they were rising, she looked down and saw a man putting something into his trunk. He looked up, and she said to her husband: "We're close enough to him to see his face."<br /><br />"Yeah, so?"<br />"So that must mean he can see ours and could recognize us."<br />"Yeah, so?"<br />"So what if we'd seen him committing a crime?"<br />Her husband sighed and said: "Just enjoy your balloon ride."<br /><br />When I told my husband this story, I added: "If that had been us you wouldn't have said that."<br />He replied: "It that had been us, I wouldn't have been in the balloon at all."<br /><br />And that's what it's like to live with an author.Peni R.

And I can't pretend I didn't see that issue, because there's a 5-page article by me in it (hope that was of interest, by the way -- the British equivalent of pulp fiction). As regards the list of ideas, I might be tempted, but I think I'll wait until the money starts rolling in from The Mechanical Gorilla (which of course it never will).<br /><br />Not sure exactly what you want to do with Facebook, but I use Networked Blogs (just type it into Google if you've never come across it) to link my blog to FB.Andrew Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073306343984931484noreply@blogger.com
