Michael's Musings

November 21, 2016

Nothing particularly new this week.  The audio edition of MISS DINAH SHORE is nearing completion and, if all goes well, it should be ready for download before the end of the year.

Sandy and I are planing a quiet Thanksgivng together, since all members of our family are in various places in California and Washington.

I've posted a review of HANDS OF STONE on the Best Bets on DVD site, accessible via the link in the Introduction section of this page.  It's a very good boxing film, so take a look.

You have a creative week and a happy turkey day.

You have a creative week.

Happy Halloween!

So, during the past month, both wife Sandy and I have both had surgeries.

I, as you know, had cataract surgery about 3 weeks ago and, thankfully, everything has gone well thus far.  Today, I finish using the drops for my eye, then I will see the doctor again next week.  At this point, I've decided to hold off doing the other eye, because I'm now pretty much seeing equally out of both.  I assume that's because the surgery worked.

This past Thursday, I took Sandy to the hospital where she had a device removed from her back.  She'd had it implanted 2-3 years ago to help her with back pains, but after her neck surgery last year, she felt that it wasn't necessary, so she has now had it removed.  Not a difficult surgery.

Otherwise, I've been supervising the audio recording of MISS DINAH SHORE.  We're about halfway through.  I'm very pleased and and if all goes well, it should be a available for sale before the end of the year.

Since I already have two new books being published next year, I really haven't been motivated to get back to work on my next one.  Instead, I've been doing a lot of reading; mostly thrillers.

However, I did pick up a book in a used book store last week that was, for me, quite a find.  It was a memoir by my late publicity client, director Edward Dmytryk (CROSSFIRE, THE CAINE MUTINY, THE YOUNG LIONS, etc.), and it was signed.

Don't forget to vote, and you have a creative week.

Michael
