Went to favorite local tea house; had pot and edited. Great having a wife who can sit and watch me be boring when there's work to do.

Don't forget to sing to the stars and to howl with happiness. Celebrate the banquet of life.

Two more chapters of "Widow's Walk" proofed. Yea! Now some time to play.

Found awesome ice cream. A real accomplishment in the Phoenix area. Of course, that was instead of editing "Widow's Walk." Work tonight?

"Watch out for the undertoad." Let's have a great day.

Dinner with friends. Chamber music concert at the art museum. Great evening.

Insurance company executive pay based on profit. Profit based on % of premiums. Premiums increase with costs. Motivation to decrease costs?

Today I shall climb mountains and swim oceans, for today I shall choose to be alive. Enjoy.

Having napped I can turn my attention to other things. The news? Reruns? Better idea - laughter.

Back from library. A chapter reviewed. Of course I couldn't resist taking out a new novel. Took a mall walk mall; 107 outside and climbing.

Off to the library to read galleys. Home has too many distractions. Of course I have to resist looking for a good read.

If you don't sign petitions, call or email members of congress or otherwise try to make your voice heard, what kind of American are you?

Hot evening but beautiful sunset. Went for coffee and watched the sunset. How lovely it was.

Is faith enough? I living well enough? How do we find the balance? That is the search of my life.

My new book Widow's Walk will be available soon and will be on a virtual book tour during the month of September. Will you join me on the virtual tour trail?
