We like Jeff Goldblum. You like Jeff Goldblum. Helen McClory really
likes Jeff Goldblum. The Goldblum Variations is a collection of
flash fiction, stories and games on the one and only Jeff Goldblum
as he, and alternate versions of himself, travels through the known
(and unknown) universe in a mighty celebration of weird and
wonderful Goldbluminess. Maybe he's cooking, maybe he's wearing a
nice jumper, maybe he's reading this very book. The possibilities
are endless. Treat yourself, because all that glitters is Goldblum.
This story chronicles the first year of a veteran with his guide
dog. Guide Dogs for the visually impaired are truly remarkable
animals and the bond that develops between these two can be
extraordinary. Total trust and unconditional love are the corner
stones of their relationship. This book follows that development in
a light hearted, tongue-in-cheek manner from the dog's perspective.
Alyce La Gasse from OR wrote; Move over Lassie, Ace the Guide Dog
Detective is on the job now. With a unique combination of humor,
pathos, and ingenious dog-dialog, Adams cleverly conveys his very
special relationship with Ace. Through a series of shared
adventures with Ken, 'the blond', and the hero of the story, Ace,
the reader is introduced to the world of those who have limited or
no vision and their challenges. There is no self-pity in Ken's
story . . . in a very sweet and delightful tongue-in-cheek
presentation; he shares his love for his dog, their dedication to
each other, and his joy in having Ace as a guide, a partner, and a
friend. Phillip Blaney from CA. wrote; I really liked this book. A
good story line and I loved the way he drew the reader into the
story. A good read for all ages, a dog lovers delight. Rich Holland
from PA. wrote; I just finished reading your book. Without wanting
to sound patronizing, IT WAS GREAT What a dog I really and truly
enjoyed reading it and will recommend it to all. Jim Aker from VA.
wrote; I loved the book. Good for all dog lovers and others as
well. I would recommend it for young and old alike. I look forward
to his next book.
Boris Johnson, the UK's new Prime Minister, has ruled out holding
an early general election. But, as we've seen, anything can happen
in today's politics. There are few politicians who could genuinely
be described as a phenomenon. Boris Johnson is undoubtedly one.
With a shake of that foppish blond mop, a glimmer of his madcap
smile and the voice of a demented public school boy, Boris provides
comedy gold every time he opens his erudite mouth. The allure of
this blundering rapscallion to many on the Tory benches and to the
membership of the Conservative Party at large is all too obvious.
He says what few others will say in public and, indeed, he will do
so on the record - appearing to care little what people think of
him or his views. This book is big on fun, comedy, life and spirit.
Containing a selection of the very finest Boris-isms and
illustrated by specially commissioned cartoons, The Big Book of
Boris is a highly amusing read, straight from the gaffe-strewn
mouth of Britain's most colourful politician.
This book is an invaluable resource for those called upon to say
Grace before or after a meal on formal occasions. Each one has been
penned and used for a special event but can easily be adapted for
your own use. These Graces have been used at the House of Lords,
The House of Commons, various London Livery Companies and many
other prestigious venues.
What if you quit your job . . .
Sold everything . . .
and bought a small hotel on the beach . . .
South of Cancun, Mexico and down a long narrow road ending in
turquoise blue water, you will find Soliman Bay. Here is where most
people's dreams are found, a small bay, white sand and palm trees,
and a reef just offshore full of colorful fish. If you are
visiting, the dream looks real, but if you intend on staying the
locals have one bit of advice - guard your sanity.
Though it may not seem possible, this comedy you are about to
read is 99% true. Names have been changed to protect the
innocent.
May you laugh at our expense.
