Onward Through the Fog

It isn't foggy today, it's brilliant sun with blue sky contrasting the new snow on the mountains. The fog is the cloud of ignorance I experience working with the new social networking tools, and trying to get my ideas and the template's ideas to merge! New email: medicinerock71@yahoo.com. New website: www.medicine-rock.com. Now to get them all connected.

Last night a friend of mine hauled out a 4-inch 3-ring notebook. "I've got to remember to give this back to you! Thank you for letting me read it!" I had to smile. So many corrections, additions, subtractions and adjustments had been made to that text in the last few months! I fantasize saving the notebook, and having a ritual burning of the double-spaced error-ridden manuscript she offered back to me, all 360 pages of it. Today might be a good day!

Clear the decks! Clean off my desk, really clean: sand it and polyurethane it! Dust my bookcase, change the stuff on the wall! It's a new life without an old manuscript!

Actually, tomorrow I'm going to the country for a couple of days. My smallest dog and I will hang out north of Missoula for long walks along the Flathead, and inspiration from the Rockies.

But today? Let's see, where did I put those matches?
