God Bless Mary Jo!

Saturday afternoon, October 6th, Jon and & Sandy Wolfmueller had a book signing party for Kinky’s new book, "You Can Lead a Politician to Water, But You Can’t Make Him Think: Ten Commandments for Texas Politics" at their bookstore, Wolfmueller’s Books!

Tony and I arrived late, because we had two adoptions to take care of and I am proud to announce that Wynona Judd and Naomi Judd (sisters that we rescued from the Kerrville pound) were adopted to a great family who live in Ingram!

As always Kinky’s book signing at Wolfmuellers was a blast! In fact, Kinky’s book signings at Wolfmuellers have become a Kerrville tradition—not to be missed! His old friends and new friends were all there including hundreds of his fans. Mary Jo Brandon, Sandy and Jon’s right-hand-woman, was taking money left and right and ringing up sales faster than the law should allow, along with her two daughters, Laura and Maura helping to bag the purchases.

The way I saw it, for every new Kinky book sold—one of Spike’s Naked Calendars sold! During the event I could have sworn that the cash register was literally smoking, but it could have been Kinky hiding behind the counter. Anyway, the hero of that book signing was most definitely Mary Jo! And, Sandy and Jon are tied for second place with all of their behind the scenes work.

Later that night, Jon called to discuss the event. During our conversation I asked Jon, “Is Mary Jo okay?”

“Yeah, I think so,” Jon said. “Why? What happened?”

“I have never seen such a hard working woman in my life,” I said. “She was ringing up your cash register faster than Kinky can pump dollars into the slot machines! It was amazing! ”

“Yes, Mary Jo’s good,” Jon said. “We love her.”
