I am continually looking for ways to “work smarter not just harder” so
I can spend more time doing things that really matter (being with my
wife, serving my church and community, going on vacations…)
Therefore, I am no longer going to offer autographed copies of my
book, The RoMANtic’s Guide, after my current stock is gone.  It takes
too much time to order books, process payment, get the books ready for
shipping, going to the post office, etc.

You will still be able to get The RoMANtic’s Guide via Amazon.com,
BN.com or bookstores nationwide.  If you want to get one of the few
remaining autographed copies, go to
http://theromantic.com/book.htm

Have a sizzling week. — Michael

Thanks to everyone who voted in last weeks contest.  I actually have
three winners of the MAKING UP contest.  Worth 3000 Words, Getting On
Your ‘Case and Sign Language all received similar numbers of votes and
since they were all so good, I’m awarding prizes to each of those
three.  The winners can go to my prize vault at
and pick their prize.

I already notified the winner I picked from everyone who voted.

This week’s contest is a SCAVENGER HUNT.  I have done it in the past
and several mentioned that it was a lot of fun.

Go to my site and find the answers to the following questions.  I’ll
pick one person from the correct entries and let him or her pick
something from my prize vault.

1.  From the list of romantic movies on my site, which title was
recommended by several subscribers AND is marked as a movie that most
guys would like?  2.  There is a collection of romantic recipes on my
site.  The recipe for Poached Peaches is poached in what liquid?  3.
What city is “San Francisco’s Secret Sister”?  4.  What are the 3
ports the RoMANtic Cruise will stop at this summer?  5.  How much is
shipping in the US for my book, The RoMANtic’s Guide?

To enter this week’s contest, send your entry to me via
e-mailto:tipofweek@aol.com

Submissions must be received by Tuesday to be eligible for the prize.

Burma Shave Birthday
by Shana Webb
http://theromantic.com/

A few years ago, I was dating a man who insisted I not give him
anything for his birthday.

Not knowing what to do, but still wanting to be thoughtful of the
event, I took some old election road signs, which were discarded by
the side of a highway.  I redid them using their frame to hold up my
own sign.

Each banner contained one word: HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUANE YOU’RE THE KING
OF MY HEART!  I posted them up at 2 a.m.  the morning of his birthday
so he would see them on the drive out of his neighborhood on his way
to work that day.

Before he even saw the first sign, his neighbors and joggers were
wishing him happy birthday as he went out to get his morning paper.
