A Cat By Any Other Name

If I have gained nothing else from this month, I have at least significantly increased my familiarity with WiFi enabled coffee houses within a few miles from the house.

You’d think that finally figuring out the right direction for the story would have spurred the creativity, but..ha..you would obviously be wrong.

Ever since I got that letter last week I’ve been slowly building up a list of Things To Do, now that I am going to have all this extra spare time. So naturally, today, I did not do a single one of those things.
