New Book: Advice for my Granddaughter - For When I'm Gone by Robert A. Hall https://www.createspace.com/3792897
Advice for my Granddaughter is a short, east-to-read guide that will light the path in a chaotic world for that tween or teen girl in your heart. From the Secret of Happiness to the Secret to Avoiding Poverty, from Reputation to Contentment, from Education to Driving to Drugs to Tattoos, this loving Grandfather draws on a wealth of life experience to provide a sure hand on the helm for the future of the girl he loves. Your beloved girl will be able to return to this slim volume again and again to help her make good decisions. (And it wouldn't hurt the boys in your life to read it as well.) $8.99.

Another blog milestone
The Old Jarhead blog now has 1,200+ followers. Since I started it in October of 2008, it has had about 440,000 page views, with many countries represented (including 256 page views from the Ukraine in the last week). When I launched it a friend said there were seven million blogs and only two million blog readers, so I seem to be getting my share. I thank my readers, and especially my contributors, without whom I could not put the Political Digest together. Maybe I should do an IPO, like Facebook, for a few billion dollars? Hopefully my health will hold so I can do it a while yet.
