Hmmm....How shall I start this? The weeks between my last post have been hectic and the weekends have been perfect and blissful. Summer is fleeing and autumn is chasing it away, but some warmth still lingers.

Kelsi came over last night, whick makes my week. The girl is amazing, folks, she makes me so happy. I can't believe it will probably be another week until I see her again. She makes me feel like everything is right in my life, if only for a short while. She is spectacular.

After Kelsi left my house at ten o'clock, I started working on my short story, Nine out of Ten, again. When I last worked on it, I had written 974 words so far. The final deadline for the contest was at 11:59 on that night. I got done somewhere around 11:40 p.m with 2,167 words. That's 1,193 words in one hour and fourty minutes. I have to say I was more excited about finishing the story and having what I know in my heart and mind as the right ending than submitting it to the contest. I might have a chance of winning, but it doesn't matter. I would post the story on here for all of you to read, but I think that might complicate things if the judging panel were to find the post on my blog. Those of you who are interested in reading it, contact me. I owe Keith the short story in the person. He read what I had written so far on Thursday. There's a saying, "Don't give a starving man a taste of something delicious unless you plan on feeding him the whole meal."

I'd like to take a second to personally thank two pretty awesome folks. Jenn and Keith, you guys rock. Not only for inviting the group into your homes, but for inviting us into your hearts, minds, and lives. I have met few people like you guys and they all are alike. Thank you very much, I appreciate it.
