Today marks the beginning of the fifth day of leisure–if one considers poring over sheets of lined paper with a gel pen, outlining a novel particularly relaxing. Not that I do either, but it’s fun. Especially with four cats thrashing about the apartment. Recently learned that when cats rub against the fresh pages, the friction not only smears the text, it leaves streaks on their fur that resembles crop circles.

At some point Wednesday ( or maybe Tuesday, for in Vacationland the days run together ) I realized I hadn’t been outside in two days, and it was time to do something about that oversight. So I visited a neighbor downstairs. The sojourn took me out of the apartment, without actually requiring that I leave the building. Going outside might compromise the mission, which is to forget that the apartment and its contents, myself included, are still in New Jersey. It’s long running campaign.

While leaving did not require shattering the fantasy, stepping out did mean wearing pants, which made for a bittersweet visit, to say the least.

Anyway, some reviews for The Last Track came in recently, which I’m happy about. There’s another giveaway on GoodReads very soon ( perhaps as soon as Friday ), maybe with a St. Patty’s day theme. Also there’s one definite cool announcement that I can announce in about ten days, and a possibly huge announcement that I can not even speculate about with my outside voice just yet.

Here’s the latest review in for The Last Track.
