Thought

by Mitchell

It's nice to start a Monday morning feeling that the weekend was well spent.  I got a decent amount of fairly decent tennis in, Richie and I had a great dinner at Whiskey Bird in Morningside Village which oddly we had never been to, and then last night we had a small pre-birthday dinner at our house for Tiffanie who will turn   xtx next monday and I wil be 65 a week from Friday.  Since our birthdays are close together we often celebrate together.  But because Richie and I will be on our New England tour starting Thursday and we'll be celebrating the actual day with my sisters on the shores of beautiful Lake Champlain, we decided to have a little Low Country Boil last night with our Atlanta chosen family.  It is always super fun to enjoy a meal around our dining room table with our dearest friends.  

I also got a lot of writing done for my class.  I won't have to present for a few more weeks, so I'm sure I'll be tweeking the piece before I submit, but I think I have a pretty good handle on it.   Story comes from so many places.  It's sort of all magic if you want my opinion - that you can have an idea and then after some amount of work, get 10 pages down that actually has a beginning, middle and end and tells a pretty good tale along the way.  In this case I took my inspiration from a 2 minute story I heard a couple months ago on NPR.  Again, super fun and also super satisfying.

Come see us today.  I made a pot of lasagna soup because someone asked me to!
