While I was down

December 29th I had surgery to contain two pesky hernias in my stomach. One of them was pushing on my belly button, the other presented itself as an unsightly bulge directly above my umbilical area. I've been bed-ridden, for the most part, ever since.

The first 48 hours was horrid. I've been moving around a little more with each day passing. I've been doing a large share of reading and writing, but mostly, I've been watching the television.

What all this time with the boob-tube has done has reminded me as to why I don't watch the TV.

The Way of Deception has grown, as has the non-fiction Political Pistachio. What I have learned most, however, as I have ventured back into my office is that my desk has gotten quite disorganized. What I need now is another file cabinet.

Nothing like a little down time, however, to really get you writing.

Okay, enough for this post. Time to get back to my books.
