Weather

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

Was just out with the dog for her evening constitutional – it's a beautiful night.

I just hope against hope — and against three different forecasts — that it holds out for the next 27 hours.  The prospect of 1500+ Harry Potter fans, soaked to the skin, is too dire for me to completely imagine.

Cross your fingers for me!

 

Writing quote of the day

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

"You might as well fall flat on your face as lean over too far backwards."  — James Thurber

And a question: is there anything sexier than a woman reading, utterly absorbed in a good book?

I think that may be one of the reasons I married the woman I did.  And one of the reasons I continue writing, now that I think about it. 

Note to self

Note to self: ensure front door is unlocked behind you when taking the dog out.

Especially at 6 am.

Especially when you don't have your keys.

Especially when you're in your underwear.
