December 1, Thursday Ellllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn: STOP dancing and LISTEN for just a minute, please! Padman: A Dad's Guide to Buying . . . Those and Other Tales has been available worldwide (dang I like the sound of that; I'm an author, available WORLDWIDE:) ) for exactly two months. Now, Ellen, I dont mean to sound like some psychotic guest wanna be or deranged fan, but, hey, Padman is exploding. If you don't watch it, sooner or later, I may just drop this obsession to share my story w/you and the world and begin writing Jimmy or Dave or, even, Conin. Dee Snider once wrote a letter and told me, "We're not gonna take it! NOOOOO We ain't gonna take it! We're not gonna take it...ANYMOREEEEEEEEEEE!!!" That's how I've been feeling lately, Ms.Degeneres. If Arsenio were still doing the late-night gig, honestly, do you think he'd have left me hanging on a string this long? A: NO! I don't think so. Ellen, I've heard a TON of compliments about the book's humor, passion, and emotion. I just WISH you'd read it so you could see what I'm telling you; I'm not making this stuff up. Padman IS the real deal. As far as the humor goes, it's even been compared to that of Dave Barry. I am certain that your crazy personality will love the laughter it brings about. Also, the few survivor stories will undoubtedly tug at your heartstrings. Ellen, my newfound BFF, :). My friend, Reba (she just doesn't know we're friends, yet) asked "Why haven't I...heard from you?" Again, that's precisely how you're making me feel. I just wish that you'd accept the book as a gift and read it. It's really an easy read. MANY people have told me they started and couldn't stop 'til the book was finished. In fact, one reviewer for Reader Views said that the book is like having an informal conversation with the author. What can I say? I was just thinking of conversing on the couch next to dear Ellen the entire time I was writing it. (OK, so that is a little exaggerated, but you get my point.) Hope to hear from you SOON. I want to be a guest on YOUR show so much. America NEEDS to hear my Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) message. The other shows/interviews I've done are great. Incredibly, I spoke to a Rotary Club today and one member in the audience, an eye doctor who specializes in this area, asked me to speak to some of his patients. That is amazing and should simply have me on Cloud 9. However, I can't get past Cloud 8. The Ellen Show is exactly what I want for my message!. As my buddy, John (He doesn't know yet, either. ssshhhh), sang, "You're the one that I want!" Ewww Ewww Eww, Honey!
