This is where I am today. I just deleted a bunch of stuff that I either started or that I finished. I can't actually remember what all the (private) things are, but failing all that... if I get everything else done, then the other stuff that I keep thinking about will also be able to get done. 
The goal, I haven't forgotten, is to achieve a solemn environment. That is my goal. I want to be able to sit down and not have to think about getting up to do something else. 
Here's my word of the day - CHANGE. I think it's appropriate on this day that Hurricane Earl comes to OBX and makes me get out of taking vacation a couple days "Earl-y."
