Notes - 5925 to 937 words on Pouch 10 /

         Mid-afternoon, and you are about to head to Smashburgers for lunch. – Amorella

         1452 hours. It has been a slow day so far, pretty nice; plus, it is a beautiful summer day.

         You had a quiet lunch and are now in the shade of the hill and trees at the far north end of Pine Hill Lakes Park. Carol is on page ninety-one of John Grisham’s The Racketeer. – Amorella

         1603 hours. I used to think this sort of writing out typical events of the day was of no use because I’ll never reread any of it, but I have found that what it does is make me conscious of our everyday activities that would otherwise go by without a thought.

         For you this is a helpful therapy in coping with time and space. You have the ability to reduce an hour to a single word as well as reducing Pouch Ten to significantly fewer words and still conveying much of the same sentiment. – Amorella

         1613 hours. So, time to work on Pouch 10. – (1621) I have cut the segment down to 1600 words from 5925. That didn’t take as long as I thought it would.

         That’s because you knew what was most important – not too difficult when much of the chapter contained the human character, Glenn, who is not in these books. – Amorella

         1624 hours. Yes, thanks for pointing that out, Amorella.

         That’s what I’m here for, boy. You have several small wrens, a rabbit and three squirrels forging in the six to ten feet of grass between the car’s front bumper and the thick foliage at the woods’ edge. – Amorella

         1629 hours. None of these animals is overweight; in fact they all need nourishment before winter sets in, poor little fellows.

         Let’s return to Pouch. – Amorella

         1646 hours. I have it to 937 words and Carol put her book down, so it’s time to go.

         You are waiting for Carol at the Lou Eves Municipal Pool on the south side of the park. The kids are all playing and enjoying the water and surrounding facilities. A few people are walking through the woods and can be seen periodically so it is a relatively busy day on Labor Day weekend at the end of summer – about fifteen are leaving, mostly kids with a parent or two on this very warm summer day. – Amorella

         1805 hours. I need to review what has already been said about Elderfelder.  – 1836 hours. – It turns out I have quite a bit already. This is going to take a bit of time.


         You are home. Take a break. Post. - Amorella
