Arch here and I am inspired!

Thanks for all the book advice. Last Thursday I was going to write about cars, specifically the coolest car of every year from 1965 to now. But that’s a very long book and then Jug pointed out that it’s already been done. A Lot. By experts.

So, last Friday and Saturday I decided to write about running. But other people have already said all there is to say about that.

Sunday I had no ideas.

Monday, I tried writing fiction – about a red-headed guy that goes to the moon. But once I got him on the moon, I couldn’t think of what happened next, so I tore that one up.

Tuesday I asked Ms. Grundy what she thought I should write about. She just smiled and said, “You should write about something that only YOU can write about.” I thought it was a riddle, so I started asking my friends what it meant. And, you know what? Every girl I talked to laughed when I told her what Ms. Grundy said!

So then I read your comments again – for the 9 hundredth time – and it hit me. The only thing I am really good at is messing up with girls! I’m an EXPERT at it! So, my book is going to be part advice and part autobiography. NOW all I need is the title!

I could use a little help with that part too. Titles are very important you know. Send me some great title ideas.

Thanks

Thanks for all the great ideas. I was leaning towards doing a recipe book, but the name Pop Tate kept coming up in your comments. And that’s when it hit me – I’ll write a book about my favorite restaurant AND it’s owner. I’m going to call it Pop Tate: The Man and His Restaurant.

Well, what do you think? I’m going to Pop’s later today to interview him, take some pictures and maybe get him to give me a few recipes. The interview and my research could take weeks, so if you want me I’ll be at Pop’s.

See Ya Later-

Okay, that’s not what I meant.

Nancy is really mad at Chuck, and he’s not sure why. Poor guy can’t do anything right! I know EXACTLY how he feels, but I don’t dare give him advice because we all know that I’ll only make it worse!

This will make great fodder for my book. (That’s what I meant when I said, This Is Great.) Maybe we’ll all learn something from it!

Staying Positive –

Arch and I were at Pop’s for lunch today. Reg walked in, sat in a booth, went online and started reading some of the comments he’s gotten on his latest posts. The comments were from girls mostly – and they were pretty upset with him. Reg was laughing himself silly, nearly fell right out of the booth.

So, Pop Tate looked and Archie and I and whispered, “Watch and learn.” Then he said, “Uh Reggie, as one businessman to another, do you think it’s a good idea to provoke your female readership?”

“Oh sure,” said Reggie. “They love me!”

Pop smiled. “You really know your fans! That’s great. I’d be worried they’d get so mad they’d quit buying my comics.”

“What?” said Reggie.

“You plan to sell your autobiography, too, right? If all the girls are mad at you, you’ve alienated half the buying public.”

Reggie suddenly stopped smiling. He read his comments again, but this time he looked worried.

A few minutes later he picked up his laptop, said “S’cuse me,” and left. I have NO idea how’s he gonna fix this, but he’s got his work cut out for him.

That Pop Tate is one smart guy.

Jug here. Arch is makin' an appearance at Comic Con this weekend with "the suits" from corporate. So I'm just hangin' out in here in Riverdale passin' time. They didn't ask me to go this year. Or Reg. Maybe because our last appearances at the convention didn't go so good.

I ate my way through the concession stand by 10:30 the morning I appeared. And Reg got on the wrong side of a bunch of Super Hero types.

So, I'm just sitting here reading our comments. Hey, Chandler the Mighty - how's your weekend going? 

Oh, and Reg - if you're reading this, Dougie-D thinks you're a moron. His words, not mine. How's that Dougie?

Time to go; Betty is teaching me how to make lump-free gravy. I'm hoping she makes biscuits too. I'd hate to see all that gravy go to waste.  You guys have a good weekend.

Hi gang. Arch here.

I had a good day at school. Nothing bad happened. No homework. Pretty good lunch. How was your day?

After school, I was cruisin’ through Riverdale and I saw a lady walking down the street. Now, I know everyone in Riverdale but I’ve never seen her before. You know where she went? Into Patty’s office.

I told Bets about this later at Pop’s, but she said that lady was probably selling something – like phone book ads, or makeup or something.

Bets is probably right. But still… I wonder.

Hey, you know that lady Arch mentioned in his last post? The one who went into Patty’s office? Well, I saw her too. And I don’t think she’s selling phone book ads.

Today, I was in Pop’s, sitting at my usual stool at the counter, consuming a FAB-TASTIC burger (with a side of fries AND a side of onion rings) when Patty came in with that lady Arch told you about.

They sat across the room, so I couldn’t hear what they were saying. But they laughed a lot. I think they were friends. I say that because they ordered dessert – women don’t eat dessert at a business lunch. (I learned that in Gourmet Cooking class.)

I asked Pop who she was, but he didn’t know either. And Patty didn’t introduce her to either of us.

Looks like we have a mystery to solve, bbs. I’ll do some asking around and see what I can find out.
