Hi Justgiving, thanks so much for giving me some attention--you have made me feel better, so give yourself some kudos.

Glad you are on vacation...yuck about the move. I absolutely hate moving. Right now, I am packing most of my belongings and moving them to the garage. I am painting and fixing my house up to get it ready to sell. UUgghh..I'd almost rather move than have to fix up this old wreck.

What do you write? I am an avid reader. Not as gifted at writing. But, I have started a book that maybe...in the year 2020 or so will be done. I seem to work on it for a bit and then get lost in the world. It is hard to stay on task with such a big project. I am not too worried about the completion date--just the process of writing it is worth it.

hard to pick a favorite author...I'd probably say...maybe Sartre or well, Hugo or...well, I think Kurt Vonnegut is a master at the art of writing. I was lucky enough to be at his final talk--it was at the ohio state university, which is also where he gave one of his first talks. i like him because he makes me think but, keeps me well entertained.

Love you too my friend...
