We’re not talkin’ “Daddy Warbucks” yet, but… One can hope, and you can help! –> My Songs and Books From the Rachel Maddow Show is a Chart Rocket!
My New Article Books and Songs from the Rachel Maddow Show is a “Chart Rocket”!!!!
Ok, folks, something really cool is going on — I have a chance at a real, honest to goodness, money-making article! Woot! Yeeeeeeeee haaawwwwwwww!!!!!!
Those who have followed my posts here know that a little over a year ago I lost my job as a librarian. Since that time I have been trying to switch from “unemployed” to “self-employed” and one of the ways I’ve been doing that is to write online articles over at Squidoo.
They say in the “writing business” that you should write what you are passionate about. For me that mainly means dance, which unfortunately is NOT just a huge “money making” topic for writing.
BUT… I do like books as well. And, I do like the Rachel Maddow Show. And I noticed something interesting the other day when I looked at the “Top 100” lenses at Squidoo…. TWO of the Top 15 “lenses” which is what Squidoo calls “articles” are about BOOKS! Now there is something that I can write about which I also can be passionate about.
I was a librarian after all. 🙂
So, I created a new lens: Books and Songs from the “Rachel Maddow Show” (Current Season) and I published it on Friday the 12th in the wee hours of the morning. Since that time here is how it has ranked: Read the rest of this entry

A Case of Mistaken Identity: How I Became a St. Louis Cardinals Baseball Fan–Kinda Sorta
Did you know that “Fan” is short for “Fanatic”?
There are fans, then there are FANS.
I am a fan but not a FAN Get it? Got if? Good! LOL
If you’re scrunching your face up, fear not my fellow baseball fan, all will become clear, just keep reading. 🙂
I enjoy baseball. If I’m going to watch any professional sporting event, then it will probably be a baseball game. And Baseball is just about the ONLY professional sporting event that I’ll actually spend money and time to go see, live, in person.
Among baseball teams, the St. Louis Cardinals are definitely my favorite team, which says something since I live in Dallas Texas and hereabouts there are a buncha Texas Rangers fans who don’t take kindly to folks who root fer them thar varmints who kinda whooped up a bit on the Rangers in a certain World Series matchup that Texans are still trying to forget.
Seeing as I am a Native Texan, rootin for the Cardinals is…
