We stayed there drinking, eating, and chatting until closing. It was exactly what I needed.

Always neat to find out what happens. Though I'm curious, did you get to rub elbows with some of the celebrity actors? My good thing I did this week was apply to my first day writing retreat program. I've been getting really good critiques from my group, am polishing things up, and it's time to go out in the world now. Plus I went to NH to visit my sister, and that's always an awesome thing. Safe trip home! Robin,

And good job on celebrating what you did write this week instead of punishing yourself for what you didn't. That attitude will take you all the way to the end of one book and then many more.

And I also bought a new writing desk that is so Zen for me. :) Glad you are having a wonderful week!

I've tried that extra hour of sleep a night thing, and you're right--totally changes your life. Good work. Patrick, LUCKY! Can't wait to hear all about it. Dylan, I agree about the acting in <em>Atonement</em>, but I also agree very much that it was too dang depressing. I left there not happy at all. I need happy movies these days.
