I know I said that I would be finished with ‘People of the Phoenix’ by this time, but guess what… the muse lied.   She came up with a little more for me to write on it.  That, compounded with a little health problem, has slowed things down for a while.  Oh, BTW, anyone sees one of the fates… give her a fat lip for me.  Will see what happens yet… 2017 has been a year for the records.   No wonder I write about alien worlds. 

Tath and Thena have been fairly good, they let me sleep most of the night.  Don’t laugh, lately they have been getting a little of their own back, which makes them understand more... understand what though is the question.  I must say that from all it looked like when I got home this morning, they hadn’t slept in the bed all night.  No one to warm it for them I guess. 

It is sure feeling like fall lately, although we are having a really good weekend.  We could use less moisture, but the geese are happy.  They are flying all over and raiding the farmers fields for whatever they can find to fatten up for the flight South for the winter.  I am still waiting for them to charter that 747 to use as a way to frustrate all those hunters.  That would be interesting, although I wonder how long it would take to clean all the feathers from the interior… now there is a thought. 

Anyway, I am going to make this very short.  By the end of next week I should have the end of the manuscript I am working on written, typed and reworked.  As for edits, we will see.  I keep saying soon, but it is what it is.  Good thing I am ahead of the game for now.  Until next week, be good and try to envision Tath playing fetch and mouse with a little stuffed moose.
