We took a marvelously relaxing cruise of Puget sound, meeting up with Mary Jo Putney and her husband to discuss writerly subjects and just enjoying the scenery and a wine tasting or two. The food was scrumptious, the weather—amazingly—perfect, and the company wasn’t to be sneezed at. I always dream of not having to fix meals or do housekeeping for days on end. . .
And then I come home to sour milk, an empty refrigerator, a week’s worth of dirty laundry, and piles of business that piled up while we were gone. And of course, there is still my writing work to be done. Fortunately for me, I love to write and the sun’s been shining and I’m getting a lot of pages scribbled. . . Just don’t remind me of the list of tasks I’m supposed to be doing!
