Movie and Dinner

Fun Day…

Started off with WMG meetings, then Kris and I headed into the valley to catch a movie. Guardians of the Galaxy. Great fun. Great heart.

Then a nice dinner and drive home. We got back around midnight and we went to watch news and some television.

So I didn’t make it this computer until after 2 a.m. I answered some e-mails, then did some Strength Workshop assignments.

Then I took a break and sat and started a novella Kris had just finished in her Diving Universe. I only intended on reading a little of it, then going to read some short stories for the May short story challenge. But Kris is Kris and there was no stopping once I started into that novella. (I am a major fan of the Diving Universe.) So no reading for the short story challenge tonight. I finished the novella.

So a great movie, a great dinner, and great novella to finish off the night. A good day by any standards.
