I started a novel during my senior year of college. I re-started occasionally for the next twenty years, always feeling like I’d never be good enough to avoid rejection. My wife finally put her foot down. “You want to be a writer. WRITE.”

My one trip to the physical therapist did the trick and the vertigo I reported last week hasn’t returned. Yea! Richard is happy about that because he wasn’t looking forward to doing all the driving on our Spring Seeking trip. Yes, we’ve once again taken the business and family on the road!
