36th Birthday Bash & Rear Cover Draft


So what was up with The Sales Savior this weekend?
Marionette and I just got back from a fantastic gathering of like minded souls in Montreal, QC Canada where we celebrated the Sales Savior's 36th Birthday Bash. Everyone loved the BBQ we brought from Toronto, and had fun singing karaoke and dancing. Blondie was the big winner at the mahjong tables, but Ellen was a close runner-up. Everyone enjoyed the spirits, and association so much, that we extended the party to include Sunday as well over at June & Ellen's. On a sad note, Marionette had lost her voice from a cold she caught and couldn't demonstrate her karaoke skills. That's okay though cause she still sounds great as the voice of our sitepal Mary.
We want to thank everyone for making the party so great. Specifically: Noel, Leovy, Neil & Kira (Party 1 Hosts); Ian & Rhoda; Joel & Meridith; Nida, Clar & Family; Blondie, Angel & Family; Sylvia & hubby; Maying; Lyndon, Annie & Family; Chuck, Emmy & Family; and last but not least June & Ellen (Party 2 Hosts).
We also want to thank June & Ellen for hosting the second party over at their home. Talk about a karaoke theater. Canadian idol here we come! Ellen and Nida took first place for entertainment with their singing & dancing of/to Boom Tarat Tarat. And you thought the Macarena was fun.
We also want to thank Val, Luisa, and Dan-dan for their great karaoke participation. I think Val convinced uncle Clar to come out of the karaoke closet, and he sang really well. Marionette loved the girls version of "Dancing with the Stars" upstairs in the mezzanine. And as usual the food was fantastic! Did I mention that June & Ellen decided to raid the wine cellar?
When we got back to Toronto (About 5 hours drive) I was greeted by this draft of the rear cover. I think we're going to change the text (ever so slightly) and add some shine to the rear cover coins. Everybody likes the bling-bling! My cover designer Michael Lynch at Lynchgrafx found at www.bookcoverdesign.com is a consummate professional. One look at his work and you'll see why. But he his also very efficient and timely, while eagerly flexible. What more can a writer ask for. Well that's it until net time. We love you everyone & we wish you all the happiness and prosperity one can enjoy in this life.
