I'm Alive

Just a fast post to say I'm alive, but boy, it's been a busy week.

I'm finishing up Sweet Caroline. How do you like my tentative cover?












Spent the day with other writers at a Super Saturday, then had a book signing with Roxanne St. Claire and Deidre Knight. A long but good day.

Thursday went to my first boss-after-college's retirement party. Alex Nelson hired me and is the reason I'm in Melbourne/Palm Bay, FL. I was hestiant about going since Alex works at another company, a competitor to my old company, and I figured most of his current co-workers would be there. But, when I walked in I received a warm welcome from old Harris-ites. We told old stories for a good while.

It was really fun to see old friends.

Gilmore Girls. What did you think of the final show? I did not like it. They tried to end like it began, but Rory is not 16 any more. She's 22. I hated that she and Logan broke up completely. Not even a hint of a future. I liked that Luke and Loralie connected (kissed.) So, they are going to be together forever in TVville.

Hated that Rory was thrilled be on the Obama campaign. Loved the finaly scene. The two of them sitting in Luke's, early in the morning, talking, drinking coffee, framed in the big picture window trimmed in white lights.

What did you think?

You Might Be A Redneck...

If you lift weights at the gym in tank top, jeans and work boots, you might be a redneck.

So, after Spinning, I went out into the weights/machine area to work on my arms. And I saw a girl who used to come to aerobics and spin class, working out right in front of me, and she ignored me.

Ha! I wanted to say hi, but she would never look at me directly. Next, I got on one of the Universal machines. And there I am working away, and then realize, "What am I doing? What muscle group does this work?"

So, I ask the guy next to me, "Psst, what am I working here?"

"Lats."

"Oh, girls don't need lats."

Gilmore Girls was good. Rory and Logan should definitely get married!
