What a Day

For writing? Hardly. We took yesterday off and went to the State Fair, where it was a 100 degrees and muggy, with a nice breeze - otherwise I would have melted away. It was Lottery Day, so of course we braved the masses of clueless people who don't seem to notice they're surrounded by thousands of other people who may not want them to stop in the middle of the sidewalk or step on your foot. People are stupid. It rained a bit when we were watching the live raptor show. That was cool. Not very eductional for either of us, but it's always cool to be that close to hawk, falcons and owls - especially when they're snarfing white mice. *eg* We also watched some of the harness competition in the big arena. It was very educational and fascinating, watching these incredibly rich rigs of jingling silver and shiny leather being pulled at a trot around the dirt floor (which normally houses the Indianapolis Ice Hocky team). I mean, how often do you see elegant young women in evening gowns grabbing the reins of a rearing horse, or jumping onto a rolling wagon? *g* We were shocked to discover we had been there for over two hours when we finally decided to leave, and then we didn't get home till almost midnight. Yeah, I'm really tired.

But I'm hot to work on chapter seven this afternoon. There's hardly anyone here, so I'm hoping to get a lot of words down, to try and catch up some from this light week.

[later in the day...]

Yeah, I've got Parker really thinking about his priorities, and should he be so concerned about helping his mom that he ignores someone who is right there and really needs help? Then he turns around and THERE'S a zombie in his face. *heh heh* There's going to be a marked difference in the reactions between the two.

Anyway, I've typed in some more words today (nearly 500), in the very few minutes I had to do so.
