Out On The Town
![]()
Just a quick post tonight as it's about time to get to bed so I can get up and do it all over tomorrow morning but I wanted to post something before that crawling into bed as I realized just how long it had been since my last post!
Tonight was a rare week night out for me & man did it ever go fast! Yet again that old saw about time flying when you have fun was proven and honestly that's just the best.
So tonight I met up with some great friends, Ryan & Chris (aka The Bourgners...LOL), for some tapas & conversation and both were utterly delightful. The chemistry of good friends and good food is something magical, in my opinion. This "magic" is something that we rarely pay attention to but should certainly be more present in our lives - we should never put off seeing friends and family but all too often we allow ourselves to make the excuse that "life" just gets in the way.
When I got home tho, I had yet another reminder of the pervasiveness of the modern age & how we are always so connected to social media & it's related doodads. I mean, I had a great meal but kicked myself because I forgot to take pictures of the food! No food porn! I mean, seriously, how am I supposed to show those who didn't make it out just what they missed - or show them just why they should come and try the place out at some later date. I didn't even check-in via 4Square or Facebook. How were people to know they should be jealous that I was out? LOL What a change from just a few short years ago when none of these networks existed.

I just joined The Indie Bookshelf as a reader/reviewer. It's a great new site that aims to spread the word about all the awesome independently publishing authors that are out there doing great work and deserving some love & attention. I got my first 2 books to read and have gotten started on the first one - I'll be sure to post a link here when my first review goes up. :) In the meantime tho, make sure you all run (or just open a new tab) over to the site & check out some of the amazing titles that have already been reviewed.

Last but not least....it's Friday in about 20mins and really what more needs to be said aside from: "Thank God! Finally!!!!"
