Notes - straightening lines

         You are having an arthritic morning but may mow the grass when the dew burns off. The day is going to be hot according to the forecasts.

         0830 hours. Summer is here, with humidity and all. If the dew doesn’t burn off soon I’ll wait until after supper to mow the front and work a little earlier in the shaded areas.

         After recovering from the heat in the mowing you both decided on Panera/Chipotle for lunch and Carol is presently at Kroger’s on Tylersville for essentials and snacks. Let’s work on chapter twenty and get another done in Page documentation. Last night you watched the last “Believe” series and Monday night’s “24”. You were quite surprised the president in the series was killed at a London stadium no less. – Amorella        

         1419 hours. Jack Bauer is a great character. I tried to write a spy story once but no character like Jack emerged from my head. That was my first novel I think – Anno Dominae was the title – with a feminine ae instead of the masculine – I guess I was thinking “in the year of our Lordess”, which doesn’t really make sense – I was conjuring up a clone of Jesus but the clone (from the blood of the Turin cloth) stays feminine the second time around. That was the idea. Basically it was a very unworthy Dan Brown book. I think I worked on it a couple of years and sent it to someone in New York who charged me a couple hundred dollars to look at it. He said the characters were cardboard, something to that effect. What a rip off; but I’m sure he was right about the cardboard. Today I keep my characters to a minimum – Merlyn, he’s the dreamer; he’s the main character.

         Mid-afternoon, you are home and just finish the newest issue of Popular Science. – Amorella

         2215 hours. I finished Chapter Twenty. It is interesting how I have to straighten lines I didn’t realize were curved. Each word has to be inspected fresh as if I have never before seen in relationship to any particular sentence in a unique context.

         You and Carol finished the left over green peppers, rice, mixed veggies and very good ground steak. You watched a new “Rizzoli and Isles” and the second installment of “Murder in the First” as well as tonight's NBC and CBS nightly news. Post. - Amorella
