Seven pages today. The scene only half done. Which means tomorrow’s writing session will be the second half of this scene and not the scene after. That means that I am creeping towards the finish, rather than walking. Running has been left so far behind that I don’t remember how to do it.

On the plus side we bought a new car today. We traded our Acura MDX in for a new model. It gets better gas mileage than the SUV hybrids and we’ve always been impressed with the number of people, or cargo, it carries. We thought about getting another impractical car like the Foose, but we’ve had too many days when we’ve needed the cargo space. The trips for plants for the yard would have been impossible in one of those sporty, fun cars. Not to mention road trips with more than two friends. I have to say, I have been totally spoiled about cars. I’d be much more excited if the new SUV were one of the totally impractical cars we’ve been looking at in the magazines and on line. But the next impractical car has to be Jon’s choice. I’ve got my Baby. If we do break down and get something else fast and muscle bound it’ll have to be Jon’s baby.

Before the Foose I owned an Acura TL and was very happy with it, thank you. But some cars, like some men, spoil you for the rest.
