I tried to daydream, but my mind kept wandering

[ClingingToHope]

Broke away from work yesterday to play golf with a co-worker as part of our annual newsroom golf tournament. Shot an 85, which is 12 shots below my best score this summer. I've only played five times because of the cost and lack of time.

That's like a 65 for a good golfer.

I won easily and move on in the tournament.

It almost -- almost -- made me want to devote more money to playing.

I got a couple of texts from the girls, who are traveling with XW. I hope they are doing well. I have them for eight straight days beginning Monday and don't want them at war with each other.

I turned a corner on book project No. 1 and now can really start attacking the meat of it. Book project No. 2 (one that I know will pay) is moving forward. I got an email from the a rich developer in town. We're going to meet every other week for a couple of hours. He wants someone essentially to record and organize his autobiography. Not for publication. For himself. It'll give me a chance to buy some page layout software and practice putting a book together.

I am filling up my winter pretty nicely.
