Movies
Amazing Juggling Finale
Chris Bliss performing an amazing juggling routine.
Television
CSI series, Numb3rs, that's about it. The rest is mildly entertaining. When I had cable, the History channel and Discovery, but if I had it now, I'd get nothing done.
Books
The dictionary - and it ought to be your favorite too. James Patterson's "When the Wind Blows", Beverly Eakman's books, especially the one just out, WALKING TARGETS. You should read it. It's at www.lulu.com/midnightwhistler.
Heroes
My current heroes are those who stick their necks out to get something done: L. Ron Hubbard (deal with it!), Beverly Eakman, Tom DeWeese, Bruce Wiseman, gilli moon and a handful of others who will spring to mind once I have posted this. My father, Clifton Jenks Batson, is my hero as well. He loved my mother and worked hard to support a family while putting up with my rebellious crap. My son is my hero. He has proven over and over that he is a better father than I was. Ron Paul is my hero. Go to his site and read it. If that doesn't change your vote, read it again.
I am a prize-winning writer with one novel and a small collection of short stories thus far. My second novel is about to be completed. Much more to come.
Jon Well, I'm not going to the beach! Thunderstorms! Yiii! I'm certain they would find me & I'd be toast! view more
About me: Exciting news!
Midnight Whistler, my publishing company, has been honored by award-winning, best-selling author, B. K. Eakman, who asked me to publish her next book, WALKING TARGETS. Take a look at our book page at www.lulu.com/midnightwhistler Released December 7, 2007 and with information up-to-date as of November 2007 - WALKING TARGETS: How Our Psychologized Classrooms are Producing a Nation of Sitting Ducks.
Who I'd like to meet: Bookstore owners who would like to stock this book and readers who would like to know what Beverly has been saying in Chronicles magazine, NewWithViews.com and Best Speeches of the Day. Locally, friends who enjoy a good discussion over coffee, music, wine and cheese, laughter and fond memories.
Hey, Jon. Just dropping by to say hi, and to give you a heads up on my blog. I use it for the sole purpose of posting my short stories. Perhaps there’s one you’ll enjoy.
Anyway, have a better one than yesterday, but not as good as tomorrow.
