I took a day off this week so we could go on a dolphin watching/snorkeling trip. It was AWESOME!!
We took a large charter boat to Egmont Key, which has a fort and beautiful beaches. The boys LOVED the fort best of all.
My favorite part was the dolphins!
It was a bit murky during the snorkeling part but we did see lots of fish and some sea urchins. I didn’t know you could pick them up (just don’t step on one!). One woman on our boat had a bad encounter with a stingray. What was interesting is that she was the one in her group that kept telling people, “Shuffle your feet! Shuffle your feet!” Her foot swelled up pretty bad and she had to put on her boyfriend’s shoe to get off the boat. I imagine they drove to the E.R. after that but she was a good sport.

The Art and Craft of Writing and Editing
Writing is a constant dialogue between author and reader.
The craft of writing involves an interchange of emotions between an author and a reader. An author creates a story line, conflict, and characters, gives his characters words to speak, and then hands off these materials to a reader. This process results in a constant dialogue between the mental imagery produced by a reader and that proposed by the author.

What a great day. Dolphins (in the wild, not caged up in theme parks) are such a joy.
