and I am exited to tell you Random House has reached out to him and asked what he is working on. he sent a couple of samples and they asked for him to finish one that they liked that he is working on – can you imagine? Anyways, it is on the down low for now as he is negotiating and sending chapters as he writes. so far they are very interested. We will see……
Love to you always

Yes, but he has an easy writing style that I liked. Is he writing any more?

So glad you enjoyed Dolan’s book – and yes, strange for sure. :-)
Love to you
Gail
peace….

I have promised myself “this weekend” as, here, we have a holiday on Monday so it’s a long weekend.

I really liked his book. The stories were great (if, sometimes, more than a little strange :-) ) He certainly has a vivid imagination and can write really well.

Yes, I would be content. Obviously, I would prefer if F were with me and none of the other stuff was happening but it is happening so there’s no good being unhappy about it. It’s sad enough as it is. And I really don’t want to go down with F and have him worrying about whether I’m OK or not feeling he is able to spend all his time with PaC (which is what he did last weekend and what he will do this weekend – without me being there.) You see what I mean?

Phew…We are still working on ours…….our shopping is all done – just the food stuff we need for Christmas eve and day –
Thanksgiving was bountiful and delicious. Dolan was home – I so enjoy being with him. Wondered if you had any thoughts you’d care to share about his book.
You sound content to be at home with your dogs on Christmas. For real? Are you? k.
Love Gail,
peace,,,,,
