Well, this wraps up Jerry Begly’s Blogathon 2010. It has been a personal challenge to me, and I hope you’ve come up with something that you can use. Let me know if you found it interesting, or completely a bore. Email me at jerry@jerrybegly.com. I guarantee on thing. If you try any of the ideas I’ve written about, your life will be that much richer for it . Now get out there and knock ’em dead. Jerry
Who comes on my cave tours? Everybody. That’s what makes it so fun. Today, I had guys with tattoos all over their body standing next to Amish tourists. I’ve had Adult, educated, Europeans standing next to runny nosed little American kids. Somehow, we all are able to come together and enjoy the incredible beauty underground. I like that. It’s not like we have to fight over what channel to watch. We only get one channel underground-the Beauty Channel. Let’s all explore it together.
National Children’s Book Week is ending on Sunday, the 16th, and I’ve been celebrating in my own way with Jerry Begly’s Blogathon 2010. I’m putting out one blog post every 2 hours until the end of the week. Whew! You readers are keeping me hopping. I’m looking out the window at an awsome crescent moon on the western horizon right now. What a beautiful way to work at night. Have you read even one book to your kid or grandkids this week? That’s a super way to celebrate this week, and your connection to the next generation. I still remember stories I heard from my grandfather, and the first time in my life that I ever read “The Little Engine That Could” was at Grandpa Begly’s house in Berlin.
Yikes! I’ve been having great fun talking about my job as a cave tour guide. But back to the reason for the Bloggathon 2010. I’m celebrating National Children’s Book Week www.bookweekonline.com because I’ve written a children’s book and because I really believe in reading to kids. I’ve done readings in 3 libraries in the past few weeks, and the kids and parents both are entertained by “Dad, the Tooth Fairy Didn’t Come!” www.jerrybegly.com/tooth.
The Jerry Begly Bloggathon 2010 is moving right along. Thanks for joining me. I’m celebrating National Children’s Book Week www.bookweekonline.com with a post every two hours, through the 16th of May! What is really fun about this week, is that I get to celebrate, by offering you an opportunity to read my children’s book entitled “Dad, the Tooth Fairy Didn’t Come!” www.jerrybegly.com/tooth. As I sit here posting this, my son, Caleb is reformatting the 3rd Edition of the book which will be sent to the printers today. It freaks me out that we can edit and format the book, up here high in the Rockies completely off the grid, send it through the airwaves, and get it printed in the Good Old USA within a few weeks.
