I certainly enjoy your participation. <br /><br />Oh, and I'd like to welcome a new follower to GAG, my friend Sue Scheff. Be sure to check out her website-- the link is to the right.

(For some reason, an image of Walter Cronkite just flashed through my mind...)<br /><br />I've just received notice that the soft-cover version of Grumble Bluff (or as we hicks from the sticks like to call it, the 'paperback' version) has just been released. That means that within a day or two, this less expensive (i.e. 'cheaper') book will be available on amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, etc. I should have a box or two, myself, within a week. At $10.95 retail (and much less for those with wholesale accounts) Grumble Bluff will be much easier for parents, teachers and young adults to afford.<br /><br />I held a copy in my hands for just a moment yesterday, and it looks great!
