Do join us more often; maybe poems? Short story? Share your baking experiences, hobbies?

Hope you come back more often.

I'll try.

Once upon a time, I had all the WritingML memorized. It's all a bit overwhelming when you've been (mostly, but never completely) gone for a minute or more.

Congrats to your new retirement and your reading 18 books. I love to read and love to hold a book in my hand vs. reading from my phone or computer. Sounds like you have had some great successes this year. Blessings,

Seabreeze

Thanks, Seabreeze

. Same here, but I've given in and used the Kindle more (I bought it a lovely faux-leather cover so that it almost feels like a real book, but only takes one hand to turn the page and lets me shop for NEW books without leaving the house or waiting on a delivery!)

When you read/write a lot for work, it's easy to fall out of a habit of reading fiction. Fortunately, it doesn't take long to get back into it. Now, to get back to writing more of it, again.

A day late but still sweet:

I loved this cupcake and hunted it down to give it to you for your 14th!

It's been a heck of a month.

Car was totaled. (Fortunately, no one was hurt, and the car's been replaced - sooner than planned, but it WAS almost 10 years old.)

Just since MONDAY:

60' tree in back yard was totaled by lightning.

Electric range, TV, and DSL modem - totaled by lightning.

And this afternoon, it's storming again.

Well. Things seem almost back to "normal," or whatever passes for "normal" around here...

Meet the new car...

and see what's left of the tree

(it was a lovely ceremony).

Good to know you're here again.

Hey Jessie! Welcome back!

That's one of the things I love about this place - I can count on being welcomed home by the cutest Puppy on the planet!

Oh, Viv, you know me too well. Yeah, I was just in "Deep Lurk Mode." So deep I even thought I was gone, there, for a while.

Thanks, Intuey! Good to be here.

Must get to work - leave a message on my wall. Feel free to use spray paint, but do try to ensure that it's soy-based, environmentally friendly, washable, and totally acceptable under whatever ratings guideline applies, these days. ;)

Is it my imagination, or have some of the writingML tags change to look less like imperatives? (Thinking b-item for example.)

Oh, very nice! This wall needs more color!

You know what would be really cool, The StoryMaster

? As touch-enabled devices and mobile devices are growing in popularity, make the notebook scribblable. (Yeah, I just invented that word - pretty cool, huh?) That is, add touch and scribble support so it looks like a notebook.

Okay, there are probably some inherent risks. Maybe the spray paint splat's enough.

I'm good - just hopelessly lost and confused. But there's a cure for that. :) How are you?
