Coffee with Mark @ Starbucks, affording a chance to reconnect after a few weeks of distractions, which are part of the reward of living at all. Distractions are what keep things interesting. It was good to catch up, vent, relate, support, and laugh. We're gonna take HYC on the road soon as a move to, well, move. I picked up Scottie's ashes. It was, and continues to be, hard, and I am, and continue to be, focusing on the positive, the good, and on the fact that there are so many ways it could have played out that'd be worse for all of us. But man, we do miss that little guy. Tensions remain with Tommy. We're both done and both ok with being done. What comes next depends on him, as all of this has, when you get right down to it. My writing efforts and focus remain strong, and I spent a good deal of time working on structures and foundations. This is a learning experience. I'm metaphorically doing a light pencil sketch, using the eraser as much as the lead. It'll be a lot of rewarding work just to get to the point where I can stand back and know I'm ready to start painting in the colors.
