"It was imprudent of us, in the first place, to become authors. We could have become something regular, but we managed not to.
We were lucky, but we were also determined." Roy Blount Jr

"I don’t change the facts to enhance the drama. I think of it the other way round, the drama has got to fit the facts,
and it’s your job as a writer to find the shape in real life."
Hilary Mantel

Beware the Ides of...

Oh, hell, just beware March altogether. It messes with your mind.

Yesterday it was 74 degrees and bright in the capital city. Simply heavenly. During a public hearing in the afternoon, we had the windows open in our committee conference room. (We're on the 3rd floor, it gets warm up there.) When we finished, I went walking along Main Street just for the fun of it, being outside was so pleasant. All the delivery men were wearing their shorts.

Today it's cool, damp, grey, and foggy.

Tomorrow we're supposed to get about 3 inches of snow.
