Hi Lucinda,

Yes, I will let you know when the momentous occasion arrives. There have been many obstacles in trying to write this year. I've been through four computer breakdowns and in several of them I lost a lot of data. But with unyeilding spirit, I'm still hanging in there.

My latest personal fiasco is still at large, but I flatly refuse to give in. High security seems to be the issue these days. I have to be in court next week and there had to be numerous calls to make sure my personal safety was handled. Those of the protective forces are doing their best to keep me safe, but one night I'd like to go to bed and not feel like I'm going to need them during the night. Then at work a new plan was developed, just in case. Its the pitts.

No matter, one way or another, I'm having a new life unfettered by unpleasantness and God willing two really great books will make the marketplace.

Today I learned how to use the lawnmower, thanks to a neighbor who is a landscaper. He did the work today, but next week its my turn. I guess if you can vacuum, mowing should be similar.

While I may be grounded from fault line study for safety reasons, at least I can still write and get my house in order. One day, freedom for sure.
