My first husband took me to the drive-in to see "Death Wish" I had my
eyes closed during more than half of that movie. I just can't tolerate
violence, not even to rad about it in a book.

Right now I'm editing a manuscript where there is a proliferation f
slice and dice warrior stuff. Sometimes I have to just get up from the
computer as it becomes intolerable.

So far the editing job has produced enough money to cover the washer
repairs and the bill for the unfixable water softener. Hoping I can
keep the next check.
