Spent some time in my garden tonight. My sworn enemy is morning glory. My moto is: Thou shalt not allow weeds to go to seed.

You see, that's like calling in the reinforcements. I have to be vigilant against their forward guard so that the reinforcements never arrive - just the ones that are hiding right now. And they can hide for a while, but eventually they'll send up their little green flags and I'll see them. See them, and rip them out of the territory they've claimed. Then I'll swoop in and put my own troops in behind them.

It may last years, but I'll win this war yet.

Books: Still haven't got 16 rewritten yet. Realized 11 still needed another pass. Maybe tonight I'll get to 16. Who knows.
