I told the publisher of Duncan the Wonderdog that it was a lousy title.

He said he'd change it to -- McGeary the Wonderdog.

Dick Cheney needs a heart.

For God's Sake give him a heart!

Aspen Lakes files for Chapter 11.

Always funny how they try to make this sound like a GOOD thing...

Got my comics on the shelves in only 40 minutes last night. But I still didn't get home until an hour later. I was able to prepare throughout the day, probably cutting full hour of labor.

But still, I hate staying past regular hours.

Dare I wait until Wednesday morning? I'd still be done by noon, shaving a couple hours off the usual time....

Snow?

Snow was definitely NOT in the forecast.

Panga came in from her morning Vole-patrol.

She let me know with some full-throated meows she wasn't happy with the white stuff.

So far, with the new changes in shipping, I'm getting regular reorders at least a week later.

But I'm also not getting billed for direct shipping until a week later. I'll take that trade.
Especially since I appear to have finally paid off my useless Point of Sale system which was costing my 42.00 every week. That's almost enough to pay for the direct shipping.

Unexpected bonus from the early shipping.

Tuesdays had gotten pretty boring. Now I can process this week's shipment, as well as make direct ship orders for Thurday and Friday. Makes for a fuller week.

It's been a year or two since I settled on the current product mix.

I've got enough experience under my belt with both new books and boardgames, to feel comfortable making large orders.

I more or less ordered an entire quarter's worth of product this week, and I'll try to pay it back by one/third a month. If it doesn't happen, at least I gave myself a chance -- and Summer will eventually arrive.

But I almost don't have anything else I feel I NEED to order -- which is an enormous luxury. And a goal that I spent most of my career trying to reach.

(Well, I could probably use some stand ups -- I'm out of John Wayne and Chewbacca and Johnny Depp.)
