Hey, Old Farts,

I got the word the other day that two of my short stories have been accepted for publication in an anthology, Hauntings, due out late this month. Published by Thadd Presley Presents, the editor liked the two stories told about the same haunting event from two perspectives, one from the living and the other from ... well ... the other side. Don't know the exact date of release yet but will post when I find out.

Finding a publisher for my recently completed novel should be easy, right?

Outstanding, JD! Congrats!

You know you're an old fart when . . .

It's 90F at 8:00 a.m., the back lawn needs mowing, you've been up since 3:00 a.m. worrying about the boy moving his wife and your two grandsons from Phoenix to Milwaukee because he just got a fancy MBA, a new job and title. . . and you say to yourself, screw it. I'm taking a nap.

No. That's not being an old fart. That's being intelligent!

See. The older you get, the saner you become.

Right?

:roll:

So that's how you call it now? Saner? :tongue

I never get up at 3am for anything unless it's to let the dog out.

GailD · Aug 13, 2012

Well, I guess we have the answer to that vital question.

Haggis · Aug 13, 2012

Yep. That little varmint stole the role I was offered.

I'll get him yet.

There you go, talking in Roman again.

Roman? I thought we were writing in romanized 日本語。 I need another cup of cafea.

Whoa! That's more like the Cyrillic alphabet. It's even more like the Acrylic alphabet.

andreea · Aug 17, 2012

Pfft! It's Romanian, thank you very much. :tongue

I'm looking at cats for adoption and OMG I want to take them all home.

@JB, scutece, hm?

Better you than me, though my time time will come. Probably. Maybe. Errr....

In all SRSLYNESS, Romanian looks a lot like Latin that has been rolled in some French and some Italian, with a little bit of left over Russian. I can almost make out some of the words and I have had no introduction to Romanian before at all.

Shadow_Ferret · Aug 17, 2012

I'm hungry.

They're getting up a barbecue in the Hounding thread. I'm sure you'd be welcome. :e2teeth:

Your Latin studies are serving you well, Dawg!

That's probably because it is. Add some Tracian to all that.

Multumesc, sa fie. E ceva ce incep sa iau in calcul in ultimul timp.

Tracian?

*scurries off to Google*

Hei, acest lucru este distractiv. Putem vorbi despre vampiri acum?

Tracian is probably the English, Thracian, with a Romanian influence (from tracice).

andreea · Aug 17, 2012

Chiar este distractiv.

Vampiri? Sigur, de ce. Si castele daca vreti.
