Red Room Where the Writers Are

     Haven't written in a couple days. Well, I have but mostly responses. Anyway, I'm only on the 2nd cup and the fingers need to get loosened up before heading off into my book world to work on "The Bird Nest." (by the way.....that has nothing to do with bird watching:)

     I love traveling to different places. My mom (God rest her soul) always wanted to travel. She said that when her 5 kids were all grown, she and my dad were going to see the country. Breast Cancer almost stopped her from watching her youngest son graduate highschool in June of 1992. She made it through that Christmas and died in january of 1993. She never went outside of the New England States, except for their honeymoon, which was in Virginia. She was 50 years old.

     I'm 46. I've been to every state on the east coast, Alaska, Oregon, California, Missouri, Kansas, Alabama, and now live In Colorado. Outside of the U.S. I have visited Okinawa, Japan, the Philippines, Canada, and the Bahamas. My favorite place to date? I'm there! :) I love the mountains. Not crazy about Denver itself. Just a few more cars than I'm comfortable with.

    My wife says that I'd love Germany. She visited a large part of the European continent when she was in the army. (Yes, my sweetie was a soldier....that's why when she says to cook....I usually don't argue...lol).

    Our plans? Well, when we are finally on our feet, employed, and the miracle of an actual published book takes place, we want to travel all over the planet. (first stop is New Zealand. Cat Connor owes me a Bailey's Cheesecake :)----um she's a red-room member....she wrote "Killerbyte." (how's that for advertising Cat? ---2 cheesecakes now! :)

    The places I most want to see.....Iceland and Norway. They just look so damn beautiful! (And besides...I like Herring----um that's a fish:)

     Okay, when I start making weird remarks...it's time to say...."see ya tomorrow....coffee's workin!"

     Be well. Be aware, and please be safe!
