Turns out reading is re-reading.

Hey all,

I hope this finds you well and good. Thanks for stopping by.

I decided to pay attention to my reading schedule, and for the first time to kind of organize it.

On New Year's Day, I thought, what the hell? There are books I read every year. And I missed all of them? Why not read them all...

Greetings to my SG Friends and Neighbors, I hope this finds you well and good.

What did you get up to for the Holidays?

Hey all,

I hope this finds you well and good and loving life.

I've been trying to squeeze an hour a day for nothing but work on my novel, which is going slowly. This story is so much fun to write! I think if I could get a day off free and clear, a day when I felt safe ignoring the eight million other things...

Hey SG folks,

I hope this finds you well and good and enjoying your bit of the world.

II am watching Martha Marcy May Marline - its got me freaked out. Anyone know anyone who ever escaped from a cult? The very idea of someone who preys on the emotionally frail stresses me out and makes me want to hurt somebody.
