I’m a sucker for resolutions. It’s just who I am, and I find new starts to be a very good thing for people. It’s one of the few times in the calendar year when we can all slow down just a bit and recognize what we can do to make our lives, and the lives…

(To “Looks Like Rain,” from The Dead’s 12/29/77 show at Winterland) On my desk rests a helicopter, broken in two places where my wife stepped on it yesterday afternoon. It rests, on its side, with one half of its landing gear nearby; next to the black piece of plastic is the wooden shank once holding…

I won’t spoil the fun for you….go to http://www.jkrowling.com, click on the eraser, and poke around to open the door (no more do not disturb sign!!!)…. It all starts with the door at the back of the mirror….. I cannot believe it!!!!

5:03 p.m. Wow. I haven’t done a 15/Five in a long time…I miss these short missives, but I’ve not written them simply b/c I haven’t been on the computer at these times on a routine basis…Perhaps I should change the name to 15 On the Hour… What’s new? ~~Started The Phoenix Society at school today.…

Ugh. Ok. It was an experience. I’ll give it that much. But to sit in a room for 8 hours without a single jury pool being called for selection? A major disappointment today as there was complete inaction on behalf of the need for jurors for upcoming trials. Here’s to a better Friday, all!

4:15 a.m. Uploaded my still incomplete novel a few moments ago….Total word count submitted: 51,777. I’m feelin’ really good about this. Second year in a row I’ve written 50K in the month of November, although this work is still unfinished–unlike last year’s book, which I was able to type “The End” on 11/30 and feel…

In about three hours, I will be placing a call to our local Jury Duty Hotline, where I will learn my fate to see if my number–that’s number 625, to be precise–falls within the group of numbers selected for duty tomorrow morning. Mixed emotions on this one. The teacher in me doesn’t want to leave…

My goodness, what a great thing that it is still a vacation day, with yet another one tomorrow. This feeling, my friends, is how I believe we all should feel as often as possible: ready to work, but encouraged to play just one more day. . . . Kind of like, oh, let’s see…..Die Another…
