Veteran's Day

I am speed-writing today, trying to get past my internal editor and get something down on the page. Do you ever do that? It's a really helpful trick.

But meanwhile, it is Veteran's Day. Deep thanks to all who serve or who have served our country, and to their families who cope with the worry and loneliness of their long absences. Wishing for many safe and soon homecomings...

With thanks and love,
