I managed to squeeze in somewhere between 700-800 words on the new story, which now has a working title, “Origins”. Again, it was longhand, and again, I was rather more than fascinated by the mechanics of writing longhand. Hoping for some more progress today.

A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY cheer goes out to Doug today. I hope you have a terrific day, one that is perhaps somewhat less hectic than it sounded last night when I spoke to you on the phone. 😉 Happy Birthday, bro.
A full cardio workout at lunch today. 40 minutes on the elliptical, burning more than 570 calories and going 3.11 miles. I probably averaged 79-80 RPM throughout the workout, not quite as much as last time, but it still felt good to be doing it. Came back, dashed to a meeting for 15 minutes before…
Last night, I started writing a new story. And I did it the old-fashioned way: I sat there with a pad and pen and began writing it longhand. Not only that, but rather than printing, I wrote in cursive, something I haven’t done since 4th or 5th grade, and it shows. I can barely read…

June 1 falls at the beginning of the week (a Sunday) which means that next Friday will be Friday the Thirteenth. Can you believe it’s already June? Mom’s birthday was yesterday and that means that Doug’s birthday is just a few days away. Dad and I went to the Orioles/Red Sox game today. Dad’s streak…
I realized this evening that it had been quite a while since I’d done a full backup of my data. I do regular incremental backups to my iDisk, but I hadn’t done a full data backup in a long time. I did one tonight and I feel much better.
A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY wish goes out to Mom today, who is celebrating her birthday in New York City this weekend with he11o_sunshine and stubiebrother. Hope you have a happy one!
I went to bed early last night and I was up early this morning. I took Dad over to Starbucks so he could get some coffee, then we came back home and I had breakfast. Around 9 AM, we headed out, first to fill up the car with gas, then to Home Depot to look…
