I am writing this bit of nonsense because I made a commitment to myself to write something every day, even if it’s a bit of nonsense.  I have many writing projects to work on, but today is a busy day out of the house so I will have to postpone those projects until later.  In the meantime, I’ll just write a nonsensey tidbit with the hope that in sitting here and not surfing Huffington Post and the New York Times I will actually be doing something productive, when really I should be blowdrying my hair.

I will also add some visual candy for anyone who happens across this page today.  This is my daughter’s darling puppy, Ava.  This was taken the day of her first walk.  She was a little tired along the way and took a rest in my arms.  She is a pure delight and we all love her very much.
