First off, I must apologize for my terrible grammar. Sometimes I look back through my posts and comments and realize how bad I am at writing. My posts are like the candy corn of grammar: made too quickly, cheaply and sold for way too much. Sorry Spirits. I'm sure you'll find some errors even in this very post.
Old Business: "Stinkin T-shirts". Oh dear, the T-shirts. I feel like the subject of the T-shirts deserves its own blog post. Its starting to become like a soap opera. Like the sands of the hour glass, so are the days of our lives without T-shirts. The Bold and the Beautiful, yet non-existent T-shirts. The So Young They're Not Even Born Yet and the Restless. I could go all day but you get the idea. Word on the street is, the owner of the printing place was trying to woo Deuce back into his web of deception with apologies, yet no offers of discounts. We'll see what happens in the next exciting episode. Will she go back to the unsatisfactory printer?? It's almost as if Deuce is a candidate for political office right now isn't it?? "I support my local screen printer!" "I no longer support my local screen printer!!!" Well what is it Deuce? You are flip flopping on issues that are important to the American people!! Here's another bomb you dropped on all of us poor, hard working Americans: "I have committed to one book for my book club submission!".........."No wait, I don't want that one anymore, I'm still deciding, I'll get back to you......." I don't know Deuce, it doesn't look like your numbers will be so great in the next public opinion poll. I can't wait for the next episode of As the World Without T-Shirts or Book Submissions Turns.....
ANYWAY. Dues are paid. We are all paid up to what we owe and the club now possesses $159 or maybe its $157. I'll give you a range of 157-159.
New Business: We decided to start creating a Novel Spirits Cookbook. Cat was tasked with being the OIC (Officer in Charge) of that project. May the Force be with you Cat. The final product at some point down the road will be a physical, bound cookbook to sell on Amazon, get put onto Oprah's book of the month club, become the New York Times #1 Bestseller, make the Novel Spirits richer than J.K. Rowling and Warren Buffett combined, and become THE Big Brother of the New World Order!!!! Muhahahaha! Or not, we'll see how it goes. But for now, we'll start up another Novel Spirits Pinterest board specifically for food and drink recipes. I guess for now, we can pin the ones we've already made up to this point, and continue with ones we think are really good. And no mediocre recipes go on this board Spirits!! Remember who we are, REMEMBER!!! There was my movie quote from THE LION KING. Alternatively, you can email or text recipes to Cat.
And our resident T.C. Boyle Fandom president, JB, once again gave some of us an eye twitch. He just won't let us push T.C. Boyle down into our subconscious with all other traumatic emotional experiences. I don't keep bringing George Orwell back up into your heart JB!!! Leave my poor damaged heart alone!!!! Apparently, Boyle wrote another book called A FRIEND OF THE EARTH, which is about climate change and how it could affect the Earth long term. If I were ever to delve into another Boyle book, this could be the one. I do like reading about the topic of climate change, BUT its still Boyle, so we'll see. But I am but the selfless messenger to all the Spirits, so please don't let me stop you from subjecting yourself. Enjoy.
Sharyn McCrumb was another topic of discussion. Someone mentioned that McCrumb likes to conduct research and set books in northeast Tennessee rather than her home of Kentucky, since she knows this area better. It is a memorable place so who are we to argue?
JB read GHOST RIDERS, which is set in and around Grandfather Mountain. Nothing follows.
Indy read THE SUN ALSO RISES by Ernest Hemingway. Nothing follows. Note: Diesel did not do the note taking this meeting.
I, Baron, read NIGHT by Elie Wiesel. "Depressing". That about says it all. True story written by one of the most important Holocaust authors about his own experience as a holocaust survivor. Incredibly sad story and really opened my eyes to that time period. Puts things in perspective I must say.
Next meeting is at Deuce's Home Place, Sunday July 3rd at 2pm (unless flip-flopper Deuce needs to change the time)
Looking forward to seeing everyone again
Baron
