Damn Microsoft Word and it's

Damn Microsoft Word and it's beautiful diagram function that won't do the one thing I want it to do. I am making a humorous chart for my diet book. I am trying to anyway.

Thursday, the two of us are off to Florida... T H U R S D A Y. I'm looking forward to the Bright Eyes concert and the vacation from writing. Though, I am having a lot of fun with this diet book now. It's hilarious at times.

We have to leave the animals in my brother's care, because my parents are off to I Forget Where, for some appearance. They've been all over the country this past month, by the way. Seems they're always flying out to somewhere now that the book is in stores.

Also, my father is doing a signing at the Barnes and Noble here in Norwalk, which is pretty damn cool. Home-town signing.

He wants E and I to go to South Beach at the end of next month for this huge food and wine festival. I would love to go, but I'm not sure E can get more time off work in the same month as this trip on Thursday. Apparently though, most everyone from Food Network will be there. Emeril, Rachel Ray, Iron Chef's Morimoto, Bobby Flay, Mario Batali, Giada De Laurentiis, Anthony Bourdain and more, more, more. Most importantly though... they've booked my father two suites! Free room service... Free everything.

All else is well... E works the next two days... much alone time to write.
