Reunions and NaNoWriMo
Catching up with the Monizeseses (Monii?)
This was a very special day for Jim, as he was reunited with his Marine Corps buddy Nick B. for the first time in over 30 years! A great breakfast at Blueberry Hill (One of our favorite local breakfast joints) with Nick and his girlfriend, spending a couple of hours talking about past, present, and future. It will not be another 3 decades.
Jim is also participating in National Novel Writing Month in November! 50,000 words committed to paper in one month. Can he do it on a typewriter? Can he do it at all? Tune in throughout November to find out!
