Went to town yesterday and took in the Open House and local author celebration at Gulliver’s Quality Books & Toys on Main Street. Suzanne Brooks her Husband & Staff sure out did themselves let me tell ya. CTV Television was there, along with numerous news papers. Lynn Johnston was also there, a great lady and if I can? I would like to say she was a great inspiration to my wife and I when we started to put together our first book and continued to do so through out all five. Suzanne Brooks though in my eyes is one of the greats. She has proven her self time and time again for all that she has done to help new and old writers gain the respect and attention that they so deserve. With out her a lot of new writers would have gone by the way side. She is a great asset to the City of North Bay and deserves to be in the spot light now and then. Great lady for sure and my wife and I are proud to be able to have her, her husband and staff as friends. Refreshments were handed out with hot apple cider, lots of mingling done with fellow writers, friends, and…well…just a down right enjoyable day. Lots turned out too, a steady stream of folks and the store was pretty well full for the whole event. Great day Suzanne and once again: Thanks….my hat goes off to you. Actually I didn’t wear my Stetson as a tribute to you.

Bit Of Humor
A Friend sent me this morning and thought I would share. Nothing like a smile on ones face to start the day. But in reality, thinking about this bit of humor, over the years, I have found a lot of truth in what was happening to the poor feller. Read on.
Kevin had shingles.
Those of us who spend much time in a doctor’s office should appreciate this! Doesn’t it seem more and more that physicians are running their practices like an assembly line?
Here’s what happened to Kevin:
Kevin walked into a doctor’s office and the receptionist asked him what he had. Kevin said: ‘Shingles.’ So she wrote down his name, address, medical insurance number and told him to have a seat.
Fifteen minutes later a nurse’s aide came out and asked Kevin what he had…
Kevin said, ‘Shingles.’ So she wrote down his height, weight, a complete medical history and told Kevin to wait in the examining room.
A half hour later a nurse came in and asked Kevin what he had. Kevin said, ‘Shingles..’ So the nurse gave Kevin a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, and told Kevin to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor.
An hour later the doctor came in and found Kevin sitting patiently in the nude and asked Kevin what he had.
Kevin said, ‘Shingles.’ The doctor asked, ‘Where?’
Kevin said, ‘Outside on the truck. Where do you want me to unload ‘em??’
