A sage at work processing as it is, a day on the keys far better than a day at the beach. But hold for a moment as you suggest, for a day at the beach is all about the head. Getting it straight. And relaxed and so much more but less. And then the age come calling and like all sages of time and circumstance, you stand tall and alone. But with so many of the rest of us, age does take its toll but never enough to satisfy the need of the ferryman's awaiting palms up.

So there it is, my thanks included for the likes of your words made for me a far better day. At least for me ...a process guy by act and declaration. While one day hopefully sooner than later I intend to conclude this novel of mine. And then with the likes of never before move on into the next and the next no matter how little time awaits or the ferryman's mandates. While until then I want you to know your sage advice and insight into the paths of a writers delight fills the day with the most profound delights.
