Thanks for that lesson in vocabulary, I certainly had "solicitous" wrong. 

I missed a couple of journals and am trying to catch up. Regarding your fishing trip, well, I am with you there. I have gone out just a few times fishing in the ocean. What peace!!! No phones, computers, just you and the sea. It's such an awesome feeling. Once I hooked an Amberjack, OMG are they fighters. I could hardly handle it. I just hope BP hasn't ruined things for all of us. There are so many people who not only can't fish now, but are losing their jobs and businesses. This oil/tar thing sucks. We still have good water right now and hope it lasts. You are luckier, way up the eastern side. Glad to hear your leg is slowly healing. It will take a long time. Tendons are worse than a broken bone. Good luck on the book transfer. Gosh, it's finally happening isn't it. You will be sending out your work, how exciting. I am keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for good luck. Have a really good night Glenn and hope you sleep well. Good luck with the food this week. I will probably need some extra walking on Monday and Tuesday to get off excess intake of food tomorrow. Have a good Sunday!! 

Info - solicitous is a tricky word. I am trying to use words I see but don't know extremely well, or words that I think the average adult or teen will see inevitably but might not know. My vocabulary is 100 times what it was compared to when I was young, I keep learning like the Spanish. Anyway, Next Number I may just go to the beach. Yes, it is frightening that they can't get this oil spill under control. I can transfer the books with a little thumbnail drive I think it is called too. They are on an older off-line computer. I think within a year or two I will be published. The sci-fi short story book I'm writing now has great potential for me and even if one book is moderately successful it will revolutionize the way I live as I am so low income now. I know I will travel if I can and immerse myself in Spanish and French too. Anyway, I think in five or ten years my life will be very different from what it is now and I will be living elsewhere, somewhere I want to be instead of stuck because of finances, etc. Thanks both for checking in. I don't know whether to push a 600 page historical novel or another that is 300 pages. Both are done. I like them both in different ways. The good thing is right after I get a publishing deal a second book will be quickly ready to follow-up...
