Laboring It Over with Paper Shredders
Posted in Articles on 09/03/2009 03:25 pm by Guest AuthorI possess a lot of land, just beyond of Boulder Colorado, twelve acres, and on it I have my home, my four horses, and just about everything I have. My wife Naomi, my oldest daughter Catherine age ten, my son Nathan age three, and our dog Peyton, he’s around eight.
Not to say I own them, (laughing) but we have been here for just about three years now. We moved here so I could work more, and we also wanted another child, hence Nathan. So, since I’ve been here, I have written exactly one hundred and four pages, gone through about eight paper shredder reviews, and aggravated my publisher to no end.
Shannon, my pub rep, has been up here over a ten times, she always brings the family gifts, and she knows I will have destroyed more paper shredders, so she’ll bring me another one. It’s almost laughable, no it is laughable. I know the true story is supposed to be in this mess somewhere, but I’ll be if I can find it. What I should do is procure stock in some corporation that manufacturers fellowes powershred ratings.
I keep burning up the motors or something, I don’t know, all I can say is that, I have not been able to use computers yet, and typing was the way it had to be. It’s a complicated story, but to give you an idea, I had been writing for a newspaper from about 1984, to the end of 1989, when there was a fire. The fire took our first child Micheal, the fire was caused by a surge on the lines, coming from our worn out connections. Needless to say, I was, and still am traumatized by the whole thing. I know it seems ridiculous, but for some reason I can’t get over it.
