I was right in the middle of working on chapter seven of the Buffalo Bill Cody book when I got a call from Clint Black today. He’s currently in New York working on Celebrity Apprentice. I like that show. I watched it last year and thought Trace Adkins was the best player. I hope Clint will do just as well. He wanted to find out if I could purchase a cupcake from him for an episode they are filming for the show. I froze. I know how much something like that goes for on that program. I think the celebrities sold hotdogs last year and someone received an $8,000 donation for one. I gave Clint the phone number of Howard Kazanjian. I think he’ll stand a better chance of making his goal with someone like Howard in his corner. Anyway, it was a memorable call and a nice break from writing. Along with the Buffalo Bill Cody book I’m working on chapters of a book for Bethany House Publishing and adding a few here and there to the Deadliest Accusation. A 7 year-old boy was arrested this week for breaking into a zoo and killing 13 animals. There are a lot of youngsters who do terrible things. They take guns to school and shoot their classmates, they film themselves robbing and vandalizing houses and beating senior citizens. It’s not such a stretch to believe a teenager would accuse their father of rape. It’s the deadliest of all accusations. It’s not difficult to believe at all?just sad. Something to ponder over an $8,000 hotdog.
