Top O' the Mornin'!
Well, 'tis Sty. Paddy's Day again and the 40 shades of green washes over us all. I'm a quarter Irish, as well as being Scottish and English. Seems all my ancestors came from those little islands. Did a DNA match at Ancestry.com last year. Interesting. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about your heritage.
My wife Carolyn and I worked the polls this last Tuesday, and it was a large turnout. She runs one of the EVIDs, the computer where you swipe your driver's license or manually find your name/address/polling place and whether you can vote or not. I give out ballots and direct the people to the voting booths. We were there from quarter of six until after eight-thirty that evening. The county governments actually have it all down to a workable science and pack up all the materials needed in a large blue cargo box on wheels. Anyone looking to volunteer, I would advise you to do so. We will work the polls in August and then again in November...with training sessions before each one.
We have a new patio with Old Chicago pavers and I will include a picture when we're done. Working on book 23 in The Falls small town mystery series, and editing the paperback proof of The Falls: Brotherly Love as well as creating the CreateSpace.com template for the next in the series, The Falls: Boneyard. So I'm busy, as usual.
Went to the Book Fair at the Morningside Library in Port St Lucie (there was another one in Ft Pierce) last Saturday. Sold and autographed a number of paperbacks and talked to lots of folks. Had my picture taken a few times as well. Chuckles...hope it didn't break the camera. It was a nice affair. Kudos to the Library Association for sponsoring such a nice event.
Trying to figure out the election and the candidates. More like a three ring circus than a presidential election, unfortunately. May the dragons watch over you all as you try and decide who you want leading and representing us over the next four years.
Take care...enjoy the Wee Folk and watch out for the suspicious looking green alcoholic beverages!
