I know you love your daughter; mother's tend to do that, but Nichole sudden surprises are starting to get my dander up. I can't imagine what she has to say to you now. I have had foot problems for more than 20 years and can sympathize with your husband. I had three bone spurs that required surgery and no one could pay me to go through that again.

I hear you. I had to wait hand and foot on hubby for six weeks while he lived in a wheelchair. I told him that next time he decided on surgery, he'd spend his post operative days in a nursing home! At least, Nichole's surprise is a good one this time.

Damn it, Shari. You leave us with '"... there is one problem." I heard Nichole clear her throat.'
What the f**k could be 'a' problem with driving for days with four individualists trapped in one car with wine releasing their inhibitions? 'ONE' somehow doesn't compute.
'Highway to Hell' comes to mind.
Congrats on all your play writing/his directing successes. This must not be mentioned on the 'highway'. lol Jealousy rides in the backseat.

LOL. I never thought of that! I never talked about my successes with Nichole and Jeff unless they asked--which they didn't. Big surprise there. Thank you so much for the six star rating and comical remarks.
Comment from Mystic Angel 7777
Nichole always seems to sprinkle a little rain on an otherwise sunny day LOL - I can't wait to see what the "little problem" is this time. I thoroughly enjoyed this and have to say good for you for winning a prize for a play the locals took issue with - always hard to look at yourself in a mirror. Well written and utterly engaging, as always. Thank you very much for sharing it.

Thanks, Angel. Actually the problem turns out to be a good deal.

Cool beans!
Comment from Leen1
Once again my heart took a leap with that last sentence. What is going on with Nicole and Jeff this time, or am I reading too much into a worrisome situation far to soon. The situation concerning your husband sounds as if it could be more than a heel spur. I'm just so hooked on these chapters that it gets me so anxious that I have to read more. Excellent writing!

Thanks, Leen. The problem turns out to be a good one. And your right about the heel spur. Let's just say a botched surgery is in store.
Comment from Louise Michelle
I really enjoyed reading this chapter, Shari, because I learned so much more about you. And I must say I'm very impressed with your accomplishments.
You've got my curiosity up. What was so objectionable about "The Ballroom Brawl?"
Poor Frank, but at least it made him feel better. He's still having trouble with spurs, isn't he? Hugs, Lou

Frank's feet hurt him after five or ten minutes of standing. More later about the surgeries he suffered in an effort to heal.
As for the script, it's a long story. I made allusions to real life events such as locks put on computers to keep men from using pornography sites, cheating at cards, fights over Bingo seats, etc.
Petty behavior not befitting a mature community.

One of your three guesses is right. LOL

well...it will be interesting to see which one it is...
Comment from Curly Girly
Ah! Now what could that problem be?
Good shoes are essential.
No hoof, no horse.
No foot, no walk.
I'm looking forward to reading the next chapter.

The problem turns out to be a pleasant one as far as both Frank and I were concerned. Hope to get it on before the end of the week.
Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Uh, what's the one problem, I wonder... do you have to pay for the trip? Eager to find out.
You really were heavily involved in plays. Sounds like fun, and they were hits, too. Have you sold any of the scripts?

You're guess is close.
As for selling scripts, same old story. You have to have an agent for the big houses to even look at them. I thought winning second, third and fifth place in three consecutive years in the Writers' Digest competition would provide an in. Apparently not.
Comment from Jay Squires
Cayucos. That's in my neck of the woods, almost. I visited Ray (Friday Author from FS) over near there this summer.
This was an interesting chapter, Shari. I didn't know you wrote plays. I see you're # 6 on the rankings for scripts. Why don't I see them?
Of course you left us with a cliff-hanger with your daughter's "little problem".

A couple of years ago, I ranked number one, but decided to do biography this year. I'm not impressed with Chasenov's work-- talking heads, the pros might call his "scenes". There is nothing theatrical about them, just facts in a dialogue form. But the brevity and payment earned him the slot. To be it's laughable. But I give him credit for digging up material and getting it out there in a different format than a boring essay.
