Happy Birthday Dad!

Yesterday was my dad's Birthday! He would have been 70 years old. He probably would had gotten up early in the morning and gone to his favorite fishing spot on some unknown stream here in Vermont. He diffidently would not have worked. He may have even been retired by now. He probably would had made a couple trips to his various Grand kids...while he was going on these fishing adventures.  He may have even picked one up to join him. Dad loved his family and he also loved his alone time .  These are traits that I feel I have inherited. Yes! Dad's Birthday was a sacred event.

Where is that writer's bug?!

The past 2 weeks I have worked every Thursday up at the beautiful Breadloaf campus in Ripton, Vt. The Breadloaf School of English is in full swing. I am surrounded by bright English students and professors. I was hopping that being around so many creative people that the writer's bug would bite me. I had a beetle bite me but nothing happened.  Is that the allusive bug and I just did not recognize it?!  I did write a little on the Star Wars script I'm working on. I write here. I guess just writing is the 1st step in the creative part of writing. Well we shall see.
