Friends and Fellow Travelers:
Each one of our lives, from birth to death, is an adventure. And, each adventure brushes by, touches, stays briefly or adheres longer with countless others' adventures. We are to marvel and be marvelled at, you and I. I'm speaking to you... and to you... and to you... as individuals. At some point, the paths of our adventures crossed. With you, we may have smiled in passing. With you, my dear friend, my wife, my son, my daughter... our paths may have joined to a wider highway. With you I may have stayed but an hour and laughed... with you the hour was spent in tears. With you our paths well may cross again. Have our lessons not been learned well enough? Do we need more time? May this offering be a way -- not the only way, certainly not the best way, perhaps, but a way -- of reaching out...

Folks, I'm so blamed giddy I could ring a bell -- which I don't have, so I won't...I guess I'll do the next best thing one can do in this high-tech age:
Okay, okay! So, it's more like a giant door bell instead of a stately church bell! But you get the picture. You know there's something I'm dying to tell you. And it is this:
I have just published a short story on Amazon.com. I'm really proud of it. I think it's one of the best things I've written. It's called "The Mumph Legacy." And, I'd be tickled pink (now, isn't that clever?) to have you read it.
In fact, I can think of 10 reasons you'll want to read it:
l ) It'll only set you back 49 cents. And that's a pretty good reason!
2) You can buy it and a venti coffee mocha from Starbucks for less than $5.00.
3) You'll have something to look at instead of the steam from your venti coffee mocha from Starbucks.
4) You'll still have it when you finish your venti coffee mocha from Starbucks.
5) It's a safe investment for the change you found under the cushion at home -- or Starbucks.
6) It's a cheap way to show me you like me!!!
7) If you're not my family, I'll count it as a Christmas present from you to me.
8) It'll be a cheap present to give another friend for Christmas -- if you didn't spill any of your venti coffee mocha from Starbucks on it.
9) You might even enjoy reading it... and
10) It simplhy makes more sense than a partridge in a pear tree.
So, dig out those two quarters from your purse or pocket and go to www.amazon.com. Go on, I'll wait. Finished? Good. Okay, in the left column, under "Browse" go down to "Books, Music, DVD." Click on "Amazon Shorts." I'll wait... No, honestly... drumming my fingers is just a habit. I'm not rushing you... So, you're finished? Now, scroll about 3/4 the way down until you get to "search." Type in "Jay Squires."
And, there you have it!
Now, at the risk of sounding serious... I do hope you read and enjoy my story. I'd love to know what you think of it.
Until Next Time... Keep Looking
Jay
