I love this quote from Winston Churchill. Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement; then it becomes a mistress, and then it becomes a master, and then a tyrant.

Pat's blog today reminded me of several instances of this happening to me. The one that came to mind first was at Mardi Gras in New Orleans back in 1977. Yes, this was when I saw Saturday Night Live being broadcasted there. I was walking to meet my friends at a bar called Toulouse Lautrec. There was... Sign in to see full entry.

Yesterday was my cheat day - no exercise and yummier food. Today I started off with a 55 minute power walk. I am heading to the beach and will be there for a while unless it starts to rain. I have lived here over a year now and have not been to the beach yet. I think it's about time to go. Hopefully... Sign in to see full entry.
