Gratitude Monday--Vulcanized Edition

My friend Sylvia and I went went to ComicCon in Calgary over the weekend. We got to see many famous people. We got to go to the Star Trek TNG Reunion Saturday evening. We survived the lineups and got in the event all three days.
I have many new things for which to be grateful because of it.
For today, let me say I am grateful for the time I spent with my friend.

I bought the T-shirt at the Vulcan tourism booth at ComicCon. It holds one of my favourite lines from Star Trek's original series:
"Spock, are you out of your Vulcan mind?"

Twofer Tuesday - A Busy Week

I've made a bit of headway. I try to put down at least 750 words a day on the WIP. It's a manageable amount and some progress gets made. I thought I was going to do twice that amount, but discovered I was being a bit ambitious.
There's gardening to get at, and ordinary household matters as well.

Also, last week I was called away on important business

which prevented me from writing for a few days.
I did manage to get some reading and writing done, though.

Two lines I read:
"The gentleman gave Bekka a polite half-bow, stepped sideways into the shadows, and vanished. The adepts do it better, Bekka told herself."

-The Price of the Stars, by Debra Doyle and James D. Macdonald (Tor, 1992)
#
From my current WIP Dead Broke:

"It was a funny swirling happy feeling in that part of me where the heart had been. The one that got shattered by the bullet."

Thanks for coming by. I appreciate your interest.

Gratitude Monday - Live Long and Prosper Edition

On the bridge at the Vulcan Tourism and Trek Station.

My friend Sylvia and I went to Vulcan last week to see Mr. Spock come home.
We had a two-day road trip, we drank Romulan Ale --it's most refreshing--and we took many, many pictures.
I am grateful to have had the chance to see Leonard Nimoy in person, grateful that Sylvia suggested it, grateful for the fun, and most of all, I am grateful for the time I spent with my best friend.
Live Long and Prosper.
