Congratulations to Pilgrim

Wow, congratulation and good luck, I hope you sell a million million.

Excuse me, you were saying?

Congratulations. And awesome choice of dog for the cover!

“Behind Communism, Fascism, behind all occupations and invasions lurks a more basic, pervasive evil… a parade of people marching by with raised fists and shouting identical syllables in unision.” - Milan Kundera

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Mr Pilgrim Dresselhaus, (Yes, I had to scroll back up to catch that last name oddity again, hehe!)
I’m so excited and happy for you.
I can’t wait to read your book and pass on a few hundred or more recommendations.

I hope to have my own “dog eared” copy soon!
Congratulations, Pilgrim!

Barack Obama: All hat and no cattle since 1997!

Fantastic!!!  A published author!  I’m looking forward to reading it.

So… when’s the party at Antoine’s?

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

The party will happen right after we out-sell Nancy Pelosi.

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

Congrats Pilgrim! Very cool.

It’s a good book.  Pil’s got a nice writing style.

What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

I just ordered a copy from Publish America

Thanks to everyone!

It won’t be to eveyone’s taste, of course. But it’s a fun story, and it was fun to write.

I hope it doesn’t do brain damage when you read it.

The future ain’t what it used to be.....

PIl
writing a novel is a huge accomplishment and something that many people purport to be doing even though they never make with a product. congrats on finishing and having it pressed.

Pilgrim,

Nonsense!  After all the leftie blather we’ve endured here?  A good story by a keen and imaginative wordsmith will be a pleasure!

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

Good deal, Pil! I ordered a copy, can I print out the other and keep them together?

HAH!  Do I sense a SA blogmeet in our future?

The party will happen right after we out-sell Nancy Pelosi.

Since that should happen any minute, just be aware that some of us need time to make travel arrangements!

Given how far flung we all are I doubt that could happen.  Unless someone out there is rich and wanted to bankroll the flights.

Hotel,

Thanks for being one of my test readers as well. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

The future ain’t what it used to be.....

We could just split the difference and meet in Devils Lake. 

Since that should happen any minute

At least in a couple days.

What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Sparkie,

Thanks. Actually I’ve got the first draft of a second one done. Now I’ve just got to motivate myself to do the rewriting (basically gutting it and redoing much of it - called “baby killing") and get that one between covers.

It’s a lot of work but a lot of fun, too.

I’ll never get rich doing it, but it’s a kick when you see your stuff out there. I’ve published a bunch of short stories and the kick of knowing that somewhere someone is reading or has read something you created is a hoot.

The future ain’t what it used to be.....

So you’ll be there in DL Thursday Pil?

Whistler,

Sadly, no. I’ll be sitting right here in my office wishing the next eight months would HURRY THE HELL up and pass. Eight months. From tomorrow.

Time warp, please.

The future ain’t what it used to be.....

Ah Rob probably has to work anyway.

That’s when every one sharing their frequent flier miles come in handy

Anna,

Er, excuse me, but....there’s a picture of a buzzard on your logo. Just thought I’d point that out to you.

heh.

The future ain’t what it used to be.....

Be careful, Pil. The Saints is looking like their usual selves again this year.

Don’t kid yourself…

The Saints will be 12 and 4 and make it to the NFC championship game at least.

I vote Pilgrim use the profits from the movie deal to fly us all in.

Heh. Now THERE’S dreamin’, but if dream I must it may as well be big.

Tell you what, if that ever happens, you’ve got a bet.

Great, Pilgrims going to put us all up in some dive that reminds you of the Bates motel in the Louisiana Swamp.

Might not be so bad.  Dibs on the Amos Moses suite.

Got home a bit ago and bought my “paid for” copy.

Now how do I go about getting this thing signed?

I suspect I’ll have to do what I’ve done with all my other books, sign it myself.

Now Pil, we have both heard that tune from Millsaps before, and been sorely disappointed.

Bates Motel? You expect that much class?

Besides, with these legs I’d look terrible in a dress.

Norman didn’t look so hot himself.

Although I have to say that the wig thing, with the state of my ever thinning hair.....

Nevermind. Just thinkin’.

So the only reason the chicks go for you is the uniform?

OK, Mom can bunk a couple of extra people, I can talk my brother CC into opening up some floor space(though his kids won’t let ya get no sleep) and a couple of the older, classier of y’all could probably stay at my Aunt’s house in Poplarville. Thats about all the accommodations I can round up.

Though, I do have a man in FEMA, could possibly get everyone a trailer of their own! An added excitement/adventure quotient right there.

Anyone who uses the original Santana cover as an avatar and has the great Shepherd on their book cover earns my business!

I promise to oder your book asap!

Thanks, Golfman....

The German Shepherd is near and dear to my heart. And Santana....what can I say?

The future ain’t what it used to be.....

She’ll never be kidnapped !

Congratulations to Lee Dresselhaus aka pilgrim.
Wish you success.

She’ll never be kidnapped !

Sell more copies than Nancy Pelosi?

Good god man, set your sights higher than that!

Ya know, Pilgrim, all you had to do was ask as I have many bloodhound pictures that would have added a little more class to the cover of your book.

Congrats, Pilgrim!
I hope it doubles your expectations!

As for the next cover.....
How about a Hybrid?!
I can supply you with plenty of pics

Without an honest exchange of ideas, how can a mind grow?

Given how far flung we all are I doubt that could happen.  Unless someone out there is rich and wanted to bankroll the flights.

I was thinking more along the lines of a vegetable-oil powered VW minibus to pick everyone up.

What?  oh, wrong crowd.

What?  oh, wrong crowd.

I’m sure the Rainbow Family can spare a bus for Rob to use

I am about to buy a couple copies right now.  Good luck. Cute puppy!

My copy arrived today can’t wait to read it. Congrats to John Wayne phrase..aka Pilgrim.

How do I get this thing signed?

I finally got him to sign my copy. It wasn’t an easy task. Good Luck

On second thought

If this new hurricane hits us anything like Katrina did, there will be quite a mess to clean up afterward. Guess the meeting would have to be here. Accommodations would be 1st Class of course. If Gustav turns this way, we’ll be sure to air out the tents!

I can hear my Pilgrim now, as he weasles others to get the work done with a similar attitude to that of a certain character from his book....

“will sign while you have your turn with the chain saw”

I notice he also left me out of the acknowledgments.

These authors.  They get a book published and their heads swell up to the size of a Zeppelin.
