The best offense is a good defense

Toe,
I am not sure you should be offended by Jennay's question. I think it might have been mis-worded, or she meant it jokingly. I don't know. Maybe she hopes you are not still married so you might be available to go out for a drink without it being weird. Who knows?

I have had too much coffee and am typing like a loon, and possibly thinking like one.

I like your idea about keeping each other honest about writing. It's a deal: Let's write a story by the date you say, and if one of us does not meet the deadline, he owes $50 to the other.

I have not much to report. I have been going to the gym again fairly regularly, am trying to cut back on the drinking, and am focusing on my work.

I am also actively resisting opening a face book account--dude, people are pressuring me. And by people, I mean my wife. Apparently old friends of mine are friends with her now on face book, and she doesn't want to have to be the go-between for updates to them. I am sorry, but I refuse to get sucked into the madness. I am a private person. It is hard enough for me to reveal things on a semi-anonymous blog like this, never mind a page with my name on it.

So, that's my old-man rant for the day. It's a cloudy, cold, windy day here in the flatlands, and I need to get to work. Hope you are well--I will try to call you soon.
Love,
E-word
