Happy Thanksgiving from The Bad Parrot
A young man received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary.
Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary.
Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even more rude. John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed.
Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.
Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."
John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.
As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird spoke-up, very softly, "May I ask what the turkey did?"

Newsletter on Tap

is a sort of a re-release, well maybe re-packaged is a better word.
I don't know all this fancy publishing lingo!!!
is a sort of a re-release, well maybe re-packaged is a better word.
I don't know all this fancy publishing lingo!!!
Anyway, keep in mind it's a book containing three books and you might've read them before.
I can't have that on my conscience, so be careful.
And, worst case scenario, you buy a book you've already read...think
CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

But I will.
Soon.
Probably.
On the fateful day when I get it done, I will give away a signed copy of
Lassoed in Texas Trilogy
to one lucky subscriber.

Which, honestly, is a kind of an embarrassing name for a newsletter but my caveman-like techno skills make it impossible for me to rename it.
So we're stuck.
