I'm going to look up that book in your status sentence! view Sandi's profile | Ping Sandi Kingston Kaprinski, Nov 12, 2011, 1:46PM EST Kimodo Dragons--sounds like the name of a Japanese baseball team. What does the French press drink? Sorry, my bad pun. view Kingston's profile | Ping Kingston Kingston Kaprinski, Nov 7, 2011, 6:39PM EST I only drink coffee in the morning. Once in awhile I'll have a Starbuck's green tea latte in the afternoon at the Barnes & Noble Booksellers in Minnetonka. It gets me in a contemplative mood allowing me to critique the hidden message in those early morning dreams that are the stuff of mysteries. view Kingston's profile | Ping Kingston Ann Marcaida, Oct 24, 2011, 7:32PM EDT You are most welcome! view Ann's profile | Ping Ann Brett C., Oct 18, 2011, 1:26PM EDT Hi Diana, how are you?

Ha.] at the Kremlin--actually made a public statement, about the Movement?! view Brett's profile | Ping Brett Peter Joseph Swanson, Sep 27, 2011, 5:02PM EDT No I wasn't kidding, LOL. People often mention my novels as movies (usually drag queens at Face Book wanting a part in them, ha ha ha) and one person told me to send my Joan Crawford novel to John Waters. I googled his address and saw that it was just a place to send fan mail via some publisher. I don't think I will do that! ha ha view Peter Joseph's profile | Ping Peter Joseph Erik Lambert, Sep 27, 2011, 4:07PM EDT Yeah, the Vikings clearly aren't willing to stick with what works for them (Adrian Peterson left, right and center). I'm glad you appreciate good writing and hope I even remotely live up to your expectations. view Erik's profile | Ping Erik R. F., Sep 23, 2011, 9:36PM EDT Thank you, Diana. It's my same old icon, a picture of part of a bronze plaque at the FDR memorial in DC. view R.'s profile | Ping R.
