I am on my way to Chattanooga for a week. The occasion? On Sunday, I will turn 40 and I decided to invite some writer friends and throw myself a retreat. It should be a lot of fun and hopefully productive for all of us. The only downside is that Rob is not coming. The only day he could get in for the physical he needs prior to his hand surgery is in the middle of the retreat. I will, of course, keep you posted on that.
