It’ll be tough. Short, starting early before the water’s likely to be warm enough, a lack of money and a shortage of vacation days so that we can’t go for long weekends near water.
But I’ve made reservations and picked out places and planned the routes and I know where there’s water that might entice her out of the non-air-conditioned car.

I need to earn a bunch to have an attractive cover designed, and then I can publish with Smashwords. Read how I did it…
1) Wii Fitness Plus. She doesn’t use it EVERY day for exercise, though I need to encourage her to. But it is her record keeper, and I can see how she’s progressed.
2) A prepared daily menu, delivered to work. 1200 calories/day, including morning and afternoon snacks. Expensive, but SO WORTH IT for the progress mentioned above.

IE6!
In 2011!
Utterly insane!
