I love the book Amazing adventures of Kavalier and Clay. So look forward to this book too. What an imagination. The great thing is I learned so much from that book and remember so much. Looking forward to this new one. I grew up in Los Angeles and sometimes went to Berkley because my northern relatives lived there. A couple still do. We went there a couple of years ago and it still had the charm. But my home town although I was born in LA is Snowville New Hampshire. At age 43 we bought Snowvillage Inn and moved there and I was finally home. I lived there for over thirty years and now we are writing a television script about our time at the inn. I would never have left but my husband wanted very much to go to Mexico where the sun shines most of the time. He was a walker. We moved to Ajijic and he only lived fifteen months after that. But he was happy. I am so glad we did what he needed to do. Now I have moved to Ojai, which is such a lovely little town near Ventura. At 76 &1/2 it is better not to be in the ice, but my heart remains in Snowville.

I am so sick of the Republican cry babies, saying things are being jammed into the last minute. An outright lie, the bills have been available to read and talk about for months. They are disgusting.
Never thought I'd repeat this, but Cry Baby, Cry baby, you hypocrites. Take responsibility.

I think only time will tell the job Nancy Pelosi is able to do. Can you imagine trying to mollify or satisfy everyone. I think she is an intelligent woman who knows where she can succeed and does put her power there. She has done a marvelous job supporting our President which I appreciate. I am way to the left but understand that things are not done may way and cannot get through bills with my beliefs only. It is a huge game in Washington. And sadly the compromise and long periods of discussion where the people in congress get to listen to themselves is part of the deal. I applaud Nancy for all she does and tries to do. And I feel so angry at the women who are jealous of her look. she is beautiful and is a great example for women to strive to be like in their own individual way.

Re: [HOW TO] Getting the Elderly Up To Speed On The Internet: The Prerequisites

This was first sent to my by my grandson. He helps me get used to the Mac.
What I cannot print totally is the note from the email. It comes out half of the stuff to the left and half note. Any suggestions.

I think I am as far as this goes. Getting my first Mac in many years I have had to relearn some things. One thing I cannot figure out is why when I want to print something off an email, I only get half. But I still keep learning and forgetting but eventually learn. I am so happy to have a computer to keep me in touch with friends, meet new ones and in touch with the world It is a shame when people fear computers and don't learn to use them. They are as necessary as a pen now a days.

Maybe it is also a fault of the teachers who need to learn to present and teach in a way that interests women. I remember in highschool, I could not do algebra and almost failed. Nothing made sense. But with Geometry I did great. Maybe Women have different learning styles and are attracted differently.

Hi, went I went to reply I had to fill out disqus or what ever, I didn't
press guest at first. I do try to fill in things and then when I don't do it
right, I get impatient. But it did come through now. But if I can not do it
it might mean I don't belong there. But simple is good. If you come to my
blog you just write on it. Good luck with your novel. I found you on
Twitter.

Hi, sort of confusing to get to here. but now I am.
I wrote Flying into the Sun over a few years, rewriting when I reread the book, I just kept reading and reading and also having others read.
Then I would bring it up and change to what I had decided was better. I even changed the tense which I am not sure was best.
I did name chapters so it was sort of easy to find the part I was looking for. Later I added poetry and confused myself, putting the same one a couple of times at the beginning of the chapter.
In the beginning I kept a purple velvet book with all the notes I had running around in my head and I could look back and see if I had forgotten things.
If you have the whole book on the computer is is fairly easy to change anything. You can also save it and go to a new file so you have different ones. I have to print out things to read them.
you can see my page at www.flyingintothe sun.com.
I also wrote a memoir Hairdresser to the Stars A Hollywood Memoir. Non Fiction though. It took so much time and I kept having surgeries which I believe deaden my brain with the anesthesia and it takes months to return to normal. So I would get the book as far as I could knowing it would have to rest for a few months.
Good luck with your novel. Now I am contemplating a cozy mystery. I read everything but love those for relaxation and want to invent or create a funny little community for my mystery, but I think my brain is in recovery from many difficult things that have changed my life this year. I am sure I will return to what ever is normal for a 75 year old. I must admit I am not so quick now. Warm wishes Ginger Blymyer
