I was starting to read a Sanitaria Springs story by dabeagle when "I Can Hear Music" by The Beach Boys came on and I got to thinking about what happened today. Other than Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," especially with its opening clarinet glissando, the beautiful tenor of Carl Wilson has to make "I Can Hear Music" my number one favorite oldies song and I have a lot of favorite oldies songs.

I completely revised Chapter 1 of 319 Winesap Lane removing all the sex between Geoff and Jerry. I also added a reason for Geoff to stay away from Jerry in a sexual way. This leaves whatever sex occurs in the story to lie within Jerry's realm. His initial infatuation will be with the boy he meets in Chapter 2.

The VA finally got back to me about a dermatology referral my PC sent in in December. I'll be able to see some one in Monroe, so maybe I won't have to get up so early in the morning.

Since I'm still bouncing off the walls, I called the shrink and she told me to add another 500 mg of Depakote to my medicinal mix. Of course, this raises red-flags of dulling of my creative processes. I suppose using all that extra energy on Sunday to get all the final chapters of The G.M.Os. ready to go to editing was good because any other work on that might suffer. The story still ends rather abruptly with Chapter 31, but there's nothing I can do about that right now. I have no idea what will happen to 319, but I can hope for the best that I will be able to adapt. Have to remember, happy thoughts keep the gloomies away.
