Still here...not going away 1-15-12

Thank you to all of the people that bought books to use as holiday gifts. I am also in awe at the amount of people who continue to read this update page on a regular basis. I have now been posting it since 2004!! I recently paid for another year of website charges, so I will not be going away any time soon. Info on my old buddy Art Van keeps coming in on a regular basis, with some of the best items coming from ex-employees that were promised a job for life. It seems that the old guy finds a way to stoop to a new low every year in both his personal and professional life. New girlfriends catfighting with old ones on his yacht, rickety foreign furniture that I wouldn't let some of my enemies sit on...and pathetic attempts to re-enter the society pages without the ailing wife he is seperated from. Some of his offspring are trying to play both sides of the fence by descreetly dividing their "affections" between Mom and Dad, but the majority seethe at his indiscretions. Do I have enough for a third novel about the old rascal? Why, I suppose I do. Then why the heck don't I just write the darn thing? I shall try to elaborate in the next update.
