It's the end of the world (as we know it...)

First of all, I’d like to have a blog moment of prayer for the people in California whose homes are—at this moment—burning, and especially for those who have lost their lives in the fires. Pray for the firefighters and the rescue workers. And pray that we as a nation display more compassion, concern and care. We failed miserably with Katrina. Let’s get it right this time.



Okay…moment over. It’s time for today’s blog:


The World is Going to End!

Nostradamus predicted this. It’s in prediction 207, Century XII: the gold headed Eagle will rank no. 2, the green giants will rule in the paint, the black and gold bears will bring favor to the ice. When the flying Elvis goes undefeated and the red footwear of the city of baked beans flies the pennant during the time of the full moon; the end time is near.

Loosely translated (as one should do with all Nostradomus’ predictions) : New England sports are kicking some serious tail.

The Boston College Eagles are ranked #2 in the nation for the first time since 1942.

The Celtics have a team that’s nearly comparable to the Bird-Parrish-McHale years.

The Bruins are actually enjoyable to watch and undefeated for the first time in ten years.

The Patriots are undefeated and despite early accusations of cheating, they are showing that they don’t have to steal other teams’ signals to win big.

And the Red Sox…ah, the Red Sox. They’re heading to the World Series for the second time in four years . The last time that happened, there was a lunar eclipse, and a blue moon. This time—the moon is full.

Like our expectations, here in New England. Our teams, it seems, can do no wrong. Which is why—the world is about to end.

Does that mean I should stop plotting the book I plan to write during November during the NaNo writing challenge. How about YOU?
Can you write 55,000 words in a month? I suppose it beats waiting for the end--

This just in!

My friend and critique partner, Jennifer Shirk, Me, My Muse and I, received THE CALL today!!!

From not one, but TWO different publishers…for the same manuscript.

That just goes to show you how great her book is. Go, Jennifer! Congratulations!

Gee…does this mean the world really is going to end? LOL.

No! It means—Jennifer will be published, the Sox will win the Series, the Patriots will win the SuperBowl, the Bruins will win the Stanley Cup, the Celtics will win…a big basketball trophy and the Eagles…will also win a big trophy. Yeh!

I love good news.
