We did the KOCE Interview today


Well... Amy and I went and did the interview about Amy's artwork and the kidney transplant with KOCE Real Orange News. The show will air tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. on your PBS station.  It went real well and Amy did great. I got stuck a couple times talking but it all worked out well. 

When I picked Amy up for the show we found that we had both worn the exact color brown shirt so before we went to the station to be interviewed we stopped an got a bite to eat and she bought this amazingly cool black top. So we were not twins for the taping which was good. 

We met the Assessor for the County who was featured on the show as well. He was talking about property taxes going up while property values go down. I get his letters for my house and it was interesting to hear what he had to say. I guess he is getting a great deal of mail right now from many home owners. 

The great news today is that Mike's Creatnine is at 1.77 today. That is the second lowest its been since the surgery. He was so excited. We celebrated by going to the movies to see the The Love Guru with Mike Meyers. Funny but like all the other movies he does.  Funny and silly!

I have been working late into the night trying to finish three major books. One is at the printers as of today. One will go off in two days and the other in about two weeks. Ouch... this has been a hard time for publishing. My mind has been so tied up that it has been hard to focus.  But, I am focused now and things are getting done. I am proud to say these books
are absolutely wonderful!

I enrolled Alex in a summer reading program through UCI Extension. He has been having trouble reading so this will help I think. Also I will will attend the classes with him so I will learn how to teach him to read better. I do the phonics book with him now and that seems to also be helping. I was a slow reader in school and took a special class when I was his age. I'm not worried about him, he will get it soon and than he will fall in love with books as I did. 

I wanted to say a special thanks to some amazing friends at CSUF who paid to have our house cleaned over the past month. What a help it has been for us. Thanks so much to Joyce Leong and the Art Alliance, Larry Johnson, Jackie Reynolds, Cathy Arthur, Debra Winters, Marilyn Moore, Joanna Roche and Rochel Junn.
