Five things I thought about during my morning run:

1. A rejection on Maggie Rae yesterday–but in the same email from my
agent was a hopeful note from another editor who is "in pursuit" of it.
Now, that said, I am trying to not get my hopes up because he has to
take it through a variety of other levels. It can make it to the last
level and be rejected.
2. Finished reading The Piano Teacher last night and I thought it was
really good.
3. Life is not all about pie. Still, pie has been very good to me and
it's sooo delicious.
4. Chatting with an old friend last night–on the phone. Yes, they still
exist, though mine rarely rings, unless it's a solicitor.
5. "Both a beginning and an end…"
