I just returned from my oldest son’s wedding in Baton Rogue, Louisiana and found an attractive red box sitting on my doorstep. Inside was a Platinum Book Award for the Read With Me Bible I did back in the early 90’s. It has officially sold over a million copies and apparently you get a heavy chunk of leaded crystal to prove it. Being a hockey player, I immediately strapped on a pair of inline skates, hoisted the trophy over my head and skated it around our neighborhood.

Where’d you get that jersey? VooDoo Mart?

I am imagining thunderous applause from the squirrels and rabbits as you skated through your neighborhood…
Don Jones
And a walking ovation from a few deer…
Roballoo!
Congratulations! You must be rich with all those royalties from all those sales coming in. Donald Trump must be envious of the fortune you’ve amassed.

Nothing like a victory stance with a silver hand…

I’m glad to see from your picture that you did not get the big head from receiving this award. hey, point up into the sky and say “de plane… de plane… ”
Dennis Jones
…unfortunately, I tripped right after this picture was taken and two squirrels and an armadillo were injured…
