Whoo Hoo! It's Saturday here at Silverhorn Mountain. No matter the day, we don't sleep in around here, up and at it around 7:00. There are always things to get done. Like this column. I apologize to all my loyal readers for my absence of late. I have been distracted with some other projects.
One of the projects that has taken me away from you is my novel. In between work, Silverhorn Lodge updates and everything else that comes up, I am in the early stages of a novel, the title of which hasn't been decided yet. It is somewhat of a romance story, with an element of mystery. To be truthful I am not sure where it is going yet, but it is well underway, up to about chapter 6. In a nutshell, a police officer, turned small town real estate agent, sells an old house he owned to a woman who has some secrets. Turns out, the old house he sells her used to belong to her family, and it holds a secret, that the two of them are going to uncover. The DaVinci Code it ain't, but time will tell. Can't say much more about it now, you'll have to wait. Free copies will be available to members of Silverhorn Lodge.
Silverhorn Lodge is now available all over the world, as one of our loyal members took care of blasting us into cyberspace in the last couple of weeks, putting the Lodge and all it's glory all over internet search engines. So cool, Thank you Maggie.
Fishing season has finally made it, things weren't looking good for a little while, I thought it might never get here. The first chance I have, I will be gearing up the boat and heading out on Silverhorn Lake to look for some trout. I am already a little late getting out, because the best fishing is often early in the season, but old age and an increasing dislike of the cold has held me back this year. There is nothing much colder than several hours in an open boat in April, it's often worse than a snowmobile in January. The cold goes through you like a knife and hypothermia is often just minutes away, however, the opportunity to catch a little fish somehow makes it worth the risk.
In the news, apparently the President of the USA has recently stated that the key to furture space exploration is to discover a way to make money on the moon. Uh-huh....pretty good idea....I guess that's why he is the President. I am thinking opening a Tim Hortons Coffee Shop might be a good start. It might also be a way to find out if there is other life out there because I firmly believe when it comes to Tim's coffee shops, "if you build it they will come." Of course a fly through window would have to be included. I am contacting Tim's today to get the negotiations started to purchase the territory. Anyone know how to say 'medium double-double' in Martian?
In other unrelated news, (what would you do if I didn't tell you this stuff) a restaurant in Rome was fined the equivalent of about $855 US for cruelty to lobsters. Apparently they put some lobsters on a bed of ice in a display and got themselves in trouble for cruelty to lobster. It's not easy being a lobster, but the Romans are doing their best to look after them. Apparently it's not easy owning a restaurant in Rome either, particularly a seafood restuarant. One of the lobsters, who had appeared in court as a witness, declined comment following the trial and was whisked away in a big pot of boiling water by two men in white chef's uniforms. The lobster didn't appear too happy but he did look warmer.
Well, that's it for this morning, short and sweet, it's spring cleaning day around the Silverhorn and I gotta go clean some of the springs....it's amazing how dirty they get over the winter.
