THE ICING ON THE FACE Blue Hands Blue Lips Blue Face Blue icing all over the place What could be better than frosting? Certainly not cake 'Cuz you haven't touched a lick of it   Yup, I wrote this one before I found the picture.  Cuz that looks a bit more turquoise...

It's gonna happen!!  This is a big thank you for anyone and everyone reading this!  (all 2 of you!)  "Stark Raving Dad" was sold to Running Press this past week - with a release date for Father's Day 2019.  I am so excited and thrilled that its finally happening.   Of course, now I've gotta come up with more poems and more pictures.  The fun part!  (i hope?!)  Please stay tuned, there will be more to come. And if you haven't already - check out and follow on facebook and instagram!!  (and of course, please keep checking in here!) Sandy  ...

So, it seems that people might actually like some of my poems!!  Yeah for an angsty dad!  I may have an agent - and then (once everything's in order) - it will be off to publishers!  Fingers crossed as I survey my trashed homestead with a rare moment of contentment...

Believe me when I say, I have lots of notes and pics like this.  They're all kinda funny, and at the same time, kinda sad.  When you see something like this - you feel like you were just ruining your poor kids life.  So??  Were we torturing our kids by taking them to church?  Or saving their souls from eternal damnation?   Who the heck knows??  But ultimately, the battle of time has won out...
