“Come Monday…” is a
weekly series that will involve a review of, or commentary about, websites, movies, documentaries, television
shows, sports, music, and whatever else may tickle my fancy at the time. Be assured that these reviews will be
generally positive, as in accordance to the Jimmy Buffett song “Come Monday.” This is subject to change, however. In fact, I would be most derelict in my
duties to neglect going on a rant every once in a while. For rants promote change, and change can be
good—right? Therefore, since good is
generally considered as being a positive force in 99.3% of the parallel
universes that I am aware of, even a rant could be considered as being
something positive, and a genuine hissy-fit would be even better (so I’m told).
The
audible version of The Crackerhead Chronicles is finally finished and uploaded
to YouTube. Be assured that it just
about finished me. For there is still a
lot of quit left in me.
A
good example of what I am talking about has to do with the audible recording of
the 44 minutes and 27 seconds to The Nineteenth Crumb taking over six hours to
complete, with that still leaving Gabby squalling like a panther in the
background in a couple of places and my mother-in-all trying to hack up a lung in
another. Trixie can be clearly heard
adding her voice in another crumb. For
there came times when I was just too tired to make another try, but it was
suggested that leaving Gabby and my mother-in-law in might be found to be quite
intriguing to those who found the story of my mom’s mysterious cat in The
Eighteenth Crumb of particular interest.
On
the other hand, it was a labor of love, all in all. For I had forgotten much of the text, with
the following being a good example of something that I found quite delightful
to The Twentieth Crumb. On one particularly
bad day, I asked my Heavenly Father why it had to be so hard. His reply was, “After all, why do you think
it is called suffering?” No, I had not
been allowed and enabled to count it all joy {James 1:2-4} yet. I still haven’t, but I have always greatly
appreciated Him putting His delightful sense-of-humor on display for my
benefit. Needless to say, suffering is a
very painful subject to touch upon, and a pun was most definitely intended
there. For it is often good to laugh
when all you feel like doing is cry, and I did let out a chuckle when He told
me what He did. It was certainly a
better answer than I received from the adult Sunday School teacher at my mom’s
church. For in the midst of having a
full-blown nervous breakdown after a week where the motors of two brand new
chain saws had ceased up when they were desperately needed, all I got from him
was, “It could be worse.”
Please
keep in mind that I am not trying to think more highly of myself than I should
with that. For as I have said before, I
believe that the text to the book was given to me by our Heavenly Father, with
even the part that I played involving placing it into written form being more
by His hand than mine.
Anyway,
I hope you find the audible version of The Crackerhead Chronicles to have been
worth the effort to produce. Each of the
following images is linked to where that particular crumb can be found on
YouTube. If you would rather just read
the text, going [here] will take you to the beginning of the book, which has
been placed in the correct order on FishHawk Droppings. At the end of each crumb, the audible version
of it has been embedded.

Is that all....only 20............
ReplyDeleteYeah, that was what I was thinking (several times, in fact) when I was wanting it to be all over with.
ReplyDeleteI have started to crumble Jerry (I made that verb up just now) but I'm a bit worried about clicking on links at the moment having just had this PC repaired. It certainly has begun with a lot of promise.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear John!!! I am glad you got your PC repaired. As far as the book goes, it should give you a good laugh or two. Well, at least I hope so in regards to the places that are meant to be funny. (The rest of it will probably give you some really good laughs. Sigh.)
ReplyDeletecongratulations on finishing. Good to see you back
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! I hope you are keeping Duke nice and warm up there>
ReplyDeleteWow...congratulations definitely are in order! That is a lot of work! I'm so glad you got it completed. Now you should put it all on a DVD and offer it for sale!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, my dear Jackie!!! I am hoping to get some help with some things like that. I have, however, burned it to three DVDs to help Arlynda go to sleep easier.
