My World Has Gotten Bigger

 I just discovered that Sleeps Til Noon is being read in 29 different countries around the world, so I would just like to say HELLO HONG KONG!…. I am completely blown away by this fact.  When I started this little venture a few months ago, I thought it might get read by a few friends and family members. That’s pretty much who I think of when I bang something out every few days but now I get it, I have a wider audience and that’s exciting.  I would love it if you would comment at the end of this post so I can get to know you better.

This all began back at the first of the year when I was trying to finish up my second novel and had already started on a third when I kinda got stuck.  My lovely and extremely creative wife, who by the way is the real writer in this family, writes a newsletter at www.energizieyourcreativity.com.  She has killer stuff in it every week. 

Anyway she said, “Would you like to try blogging?” and I said, “No.”  And she said, “Why not?” and I told her that I didn’t like the music, that the shoes were really stupid and I thought people jumping around like their feet were on fire was dumb.  She said, “That’s clogging.”  

So I thought I would give it a try.  I told Diana that I thought I would call it “That Little Ole Blog from Texas.”  She said that was dumb and asked me if I was ZZ Top?  I said, “No”.  Then she asked if I was going to write about ZZ Top and I said, “No”.  So she said, “Well, there you go.  You need to call it something that fits you, a name that says something about you.”   So here we are with Sleeps Til Noon.

It really does fit because I do like to sleep late when I can and my lovely wife lets me.  Also it fits my anti-authority state of mind to a zzzzz.

Back to why I started this little ramble in the first place.  I just want to thank everyone, everywhere who takes the time to read my ramblings and musings every week.  I want you to know that I really appreciate it.  I hope that I can make your day a little better, make you chuckle or smile ever so often and that maybe every once in a while I can get you to think of something just a little bit differently.  I will keep poking fun at, ridiculing those who need ridiculing and pointing out some of the dumber things in our world if you will keep reading and laughing.


Since this entire post is a shameless self-serving plug for Diana and myself, my good read for today is SURGE by Rod Tanner.  It is thriller about a Category 5 hurricane hitting the Houston/Galveston area. It was published the year before Rita or Katrina hit.
