Surviving “Paradise” on Wednesday, and Kobe has a better outing!

Surviving ParadiseIt is Wednesday, that day of the week when I promote my book Surviving “Paradise” by Susan Willoch Shaver.  Hey, it sure would make a nice Christmas gift, stocking stuffer (not for the very young!).  Follow a Southern woman who relocates to Southwest Florida, full of hope and great expectations, only to be met by a ridiculous set of people and circumstances.  Full of comedy and drama, all in once wacky little neighborhood!  It is available at Amazon.com for $8.99 in paperback, $4.99 in kindle edition, and $4.99 at Barnes and Noble nook.  Try it, I think you will like it!

In NBA news..Mr. Bryant (Kobe Bryant of course) made his second start last evening in LA against the Suns.  The Lakers lost, again, but Kobe had a much better outing than on Sunday night.  He led the Lakers with 20 points, and also had two rebounds, 3 assists, and only 3 turnovers (much improved over the eight he had on Sunday in the loss to the Raptors).  The Lakers trailed by ten in the second half but managed to pull to within four, largely due to the leadership of Kobe.  Don’t blink because if you do you will miss it.  Kobe is more of a play maker in the early stages of his return from major surgery on his torn achilles, but in very short order he will once again be Kobe the shot maker as well!!

Moving to tennis…just happened to catch a replay of Federer losing to Tsonga last night in this past year’s French Open quarterfinals.  Not a happy viewing, but do not despair Fed fans…Roger is primed to have a much better 2014.  Also in case any of you did not know, Roger once again took home three year end awards.  He won the fan favorite (when does he not?), the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award, and the Arthur Ashe Humanitarian Award.  Just goes to show what I always say, he is one of the classiest if not the classiest guy in all of sports!  Peyton Manning is up there as well.

ABC hit drama Nashville returns with another new episode tonight at 10:00 pm EST.  Be there or be square!

P.S. Someone may die, or maybe not?  Um…

Just picked up the GQ Men of the Year Magazine edition with non other than Matthew McConaughey on the cover! All Right, All Right, All Right!!!
