Writers, take heart! When I turn in my manuscript for Degrees of Latitude this month to Four Way Books, it will have been 18 years to the day since I began this project! Can you believe it? It better be good!

We had a spectacular Christmas with a week-long visit from Emma and her mom. Emma, now 18 months old, is no longer a baby, but a real little girl. I hadn't seen her for four months, so I could hardly believe how grown up she was. I'm never letting that much time go by again! When she's thirty-five, if I'm still on this earth, and especially if I'm not, she's gong to see her G not less than every two months!

May 2007 bring us all health, happiness, peace and productivity!
