5- Merry CHRISTMAS...Merry C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S!!!

A) I can imagine, in 2012, make that 2011, the huge majority of my fellow Amer-i-cans standing up and firmly announcing "MERRY CHRISTMAS" to the rest of us who like and appreciate this longtime tradition....
B) Don't like it?  Either don't listen, politely, or move to Cuba, 'K?

4- HOW THIS YOGI BARE HAD A "VISION" Of BECOMING A BESTSELLING AUTHOR......

A) I confess...those many early written pieces dating back to first entering high school 
             were sooooo amateurish!....lousy!!
B) But I didn't quit trying, voraciously reading bales of novels...newspapers...mags...writing in many
           open offerings for free!
C) "Inch by inch, everything's a...cinch!"
D) Over, now, 300+ essays published in one of America's older newspapers...many styles and directions!
E) EIGHT (8) B-L-O-G-S that now are read across American and into 53+ different countries.
F) Tens of mag articles published nationally, regionally and in Virginia.
G) Special FaceBook series..."PONDERABLES:......"
H) And....that firstest NOVEL,  THE SERPENTINE BOND!, has been methodically researched, 
          composed by hand, first draft onto trusty 'writer, then onto WORD.  Have spent months
          carefully editing every paragraph and each page (needed it) and am now close to fruition
          with that editing.  Then, will QUICKLY go back over every page for one last look-see!
I) Novel plot theme? 
        1- Seven university freshmen, from all over the Country, meet that first day of classes and like
                   each other, slowly create a bond!
        2- Fizz is from New Hampshire...Kaipo, Maui...Tabbi from Montana...Butt, Texas...Rain from the
                   Big Easy...Trent, California and Rockwell from Virginia.
        3- Four coeds and three guys...they decide to study and earn the highest academic honors...shying
                   away from emotional & physical involvement.
        4- This collegiate novel focuses on "weekend recesses", ADVENTURES, and their "SECRET
                   GARDEN" confabs and not IN the classrooms.
        5- ....more.......
