Quote of the Day

“Insanity is relative. It depends on who has who locked in what cage.” Ray Bradbury

Nothing really to see here today. Yeah, there really isn’t, but ignore the earlier version of this post you might have received via RSS. Turns out I’m feeling pretty good so far this morning and hoping to finish the novel today. If I’m able to work on it, or work on it enough. We’ll see.

I actually thought it would end yesterday (see Day 16), but it isn’t quite there yet. Probably today.

Talk with you again soon.
