It's the weekend for me. Yep, Thursday nights are my Friday nights in that I teach Sundays. It's kinda nice, and it is snowing here today so I decided to hibernate tonight. I'm going to do some work, eat some supper, watch some tv, cross-stitch a little and write. Yes, the elusive writing. As you may know, I'm working on a book, about those left behind when family members/friends are deployed to Iraq. If anyone has an insight into this, feel free to share. But it has broader themes: loneliness, independence, commitment, love, friendship, bravery, etc. It's fun and exciting to be creating this world, to be meeting these people. As Virginia Woolf said, "arrange whatever pieces come your way." And that's all I'm doing, arranging the pieces.
