Have *banned* myself (!!!!!) until I get my next book out because I use the slightest social meda excuse to perfect my procrastination skills instead of writing. A total ban is a dastic method but a necessary one for me to get my next book out! Any seriously big news I hope you'll let me know via email so I can join in the cheers!! <br /><br />Take care and sahle kahle<br /><a href="http://www.judycroome.com" rel="nofollow">Judy Croome, Johannesburg, South Africa</a>Judy Croome | @judy_croomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455755011354905278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-83740755593383245802014-07-06T06:58:36.803+01:002014-07-06T06:58:36.803+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Judy Croome | @judy_croomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455755011354905278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-50649942130041334112014-07-05T00:29:25.174+01:002014-07-05T00:29:25.174+01:00It is funny you posted this today.

But, to go to game after game, week in and week out, to run around wearing the "colors" of a given team or a replica jersey of a favorite player is beyond my understanding. Actually, I find these things frightening. It is reminiscent of lynch mob mentality, from my point of view.Fram Actualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01540773153894050197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-75327362954641980262014-07-03T00:07:47.672+01:002014-07-03T00:07:47.672+01:00ha. i had no illusions with the US team...though i...ha. i had no illusions with the US team...though i will admit to getting a little hopeful when we were still in it at full time that last game...Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.com
