The writers

This afternoon, while Martha was off to a social event with her mom, Nick and I decamped to the coffee shop. It was his idea. We each bought brought a laptop; he's been flexing his own writing muscles, and is developing what he hopes to turn into a novel. It's his second go. I've been more than encouraging, as I've been studiously ignoring my own manuscript! Maybe I'll get disciplined when 2012 rolls around. In the meantime, we've had a great afternoon, sipping our respective beverages (coffee for me, milk for him) and chatting every few minutes.

These are the good old days.

i know we're supposed to have less fun the closer our kids get to the teens (and especially as they're in those years!) but the pleasure just grows. more challenges, but that much more precious. good stuff in the sharing...

Steve - thanks for picking up that typo! Fixed it.

I do, meanwhile, look forward to the day when he can buy his own tech things. :)
