A Belated Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Yes, it's been a while since my last post, but life's been busy. I miss doing the sports trivia every day. The editing process takes too much time to write "Today In" posts and that time is needed to edit my upcoming books. It's also becoming apparent that I may have to start a second blog just to talk about the writing process and my books. Still working on that.

The split free promotions of Rickshaw, New Mexico were a success. Chances are, I may do that again, but have the promos at least a month apart. Also, I started to put in the edits to The Curse. Well, in some of the early chapters, I took a machete to them. In the later chapters, I added some things in and took others out. Hopefully the process will be done soon.

Now for some sports trivia...

Congrats to the Ohio State Buckeyes for winning the 2014 NCAA national championship. It's their first national championship since 2002 and their third with a year ending in the number 4.

The 2-14 Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the 2014 NFL Kings of the Cellar. Congrats Buc Nation. The beer in the cellar is yours. The Honorable Mention is also in the NFC South, going to the New Orleans Saints, who had the best offense in the NFL and couldn't make the playoffs. Their less than stellar defense couldn't get off the field on third down nor could they stop the run.

Right now, the 5-35 New York Knicks are the NBA Kings of the Cellar, though the 5-31 Minnesota Timberwolves are nipping at their heels. Both teams are past the halfway point to the total number of wins the 1973 Philadelphia 76ers had.

Today in 2005, the Dallas Mavericks scored 114 points on the visiting Houston Rockets...and lost 124-114. Houston's Tracy McGrady led all scorers with 30.

Today in 1995, the visiting Miami Heat put up 108 points on the San Antonio Spurs...and lost 113-108. The Spurs' Sean Elliott led all scorers with 32.

In 1975, the Seattle SuperSonics hosted the Chicago Bulls in a game that went to double overtime. The Bulls came out on top 127-123. Chicago's Norm Van Lier led all scorers with 42.


Thanks for reading and...

Have a great day!!!
