Dateline: above the pool in the Westin Kierland Spa and Resort, Scottsdale AZ, 9 February 2005
Flew this afternoon. First time I left the yard since Friday, that's how focused I've been on the book.
Cracked out an old laptop of mine I haven't used in years because my new Mac hasn't arrived yet. Got 2,700 words out before the battery died. Figure I'm halfway through section 2 of Chapter 5. Not sure I like this one so much, so maybe it won't make it in the book.
After checking into the hotel and checking out the ballroom set-up for tomorrow, I go see my Mom who's in town seeing her sister. Nice visit, but short. Able to pass on some 80th b-day presents.
Nice hotel, this one.
