My son convinced me to get a Twitter account, but I only get it updated about once or twice a week.  Kind of like blogging only shorter.  I have to be careful not to get caught up in searching for other writer, author, literary, reader types or I will use up my writing time.  It is fun to see who is out there and what they are doing.  Since I'm working from home I miss the human contact of an office and Twitter kind of makes up for it.  I think I'll wait to do it on my phone, I just got used to the photography and text features. If I get too carried away it could eat up my time, too.

Spare Time?  What is that anyway? I received a message from a lovely piece of Dove Dark Chocolate (the wrapper) that said it was okay to do nothing.  Even though we were just on vacation we seldom did nothing. We either looked at the sights or traveled to another destination or visited museums or walked around the amazing terrain, but nothing? The closest my hubby came was trying to fish for trout, but even then he was reeling the fishing pole or walking down the bank.  I think doing nothing is a lost art.  I know I have certainly lost it.  I can't sit still unless I have a book in my hand, or a notebook to write in, or the TV is on, or some such.  Sad isn't it? Perhaps it is time we all worked for some "spare time" again.  It might feel pretty darn good.

We're back and buried, but we had a great vacation.  We traveled over 2700 miles through Wyoming, Colorado and Kansas.  Yellowstone is wonderful, and the Tetons are spectacular. I know I'm using a lot of adjectives here, but they work. 

We took a side trip to Boulder to see a John Hiatt and Joan Osborne concert, which we loved.  Boulder is surreal, talk about deja vu.  I started having 70's flashbacks.  But it was great fun.

If you ever have an opportunity to take in an event at the Boulder Historical Chautauqua Auditorium - DO IT.  What a great venue.  It's only open in the summer, but they have all kinds of events like story telling, music (obviously), workshops, crafts, etc. We highly recommend it.

I hope all you writers out there are making progress on your projects. I kept a travel journal and read a good book while I was gone, but didn't work on any of my projects. Vacation from it all!

Take care and write on my friends,
