We were told that we were violating a registered trade mark with our version of Jon Anderson’s Olias symbol, so we have happily chosen to remove it from our website. And since Steven collects rubber duckies, he thought that he would use them on his website instead of his version of the Olias symbol. The organization that brought it to our attention that we were in violation of trademark law can be found at this site: goldenrosycross.org. They seem like a pretty cool organization.

Were we in violation? Perhaps. Regardless, we’re just not going to use it anymore on this site. There! That was easy! Besides, aren’t rubber duckies fun?

In addition to having rubber duckies on our site, we have found out that there is at least one other person in this world besides us who has visited our site! Cool! Thanks for noticing!

Susanna and Lisa; aren't they a pretty pair [...]]]> We had a great time in Hawaii with the Barlows! Thanks, Aaron and Susanna! You’re awesome! This was one of the most relaxing, enjoyable vacations we’ve ever taken to Hawaii! (OK, it’s the ONLY vacation we’ve ever taken to Hawaii, but was it ever relaxing and enjoyable!)

Susanna and Lisa; aren't they a pretty pair of lovely ladies?

Susanna Barlow, “What Peace There May [...]]]> At the “Local Author Showcase”, held at the King’s English Bookstore on Tuesday, January 12th, 2010, Lisa and I had the opportunity to meet six local authors and hear them share a little bit about their book(s). Here are the authors that were there and the books they were discussing:

Susanna Barlow, “What Peace There May Be“; Ryan Shattuck, “Revolutions for Fun and Profit“; Charles Amonett, “Visible Darkness, Hidden Light“; Bonn Turkington, “Velwythe“; Steven Bates, “The Fortuitous Redemption of Mordekiah Liebovitch“; Lisa Mangum, “The Hourglass Door”

I was impressed with all six of the authors and their different approaches to life and writing.

I was also quite pleased with an answer that Bonn Turkington gave to the question, “how did you find the time to write while doing all the other things that living requires, like working?” His response, in a nutshell, was, “I made it a habit.” He elaborated a little bit by saying that everyone has activities during the day that are either non-essential or are being done in an inefficient way. By tightening those things up and making writing a habit, it is easy to write while doing the other things that life requires.
