The hand is much better now, though still somwhat stiff and a bit swollen, especially in mornings. All from what now appears to have been a cut only 1/4" long!

I do hope more (choose your adjective) writers in Washington County, who evidenced interest in the group, can come to our next meeting, wherever it may be. Ultimately most writing on the blank page is a solitary activity, but I have high hopes the group will be a big benefit. After the words flow, getting them to their destination, the reader, involves others.

I would like to mention again something from the meeting which may be helpful. On OPD's digital TV channel 10.3, Sunday (and maybe Saturday?) nights, leading-off the "OUS Lectures" segment there (usually?) is "Back Page" with Jody Seay, an interview with PNW writers. I often find it interesting.

Oh please, use the message board as much as possible unless the message is truly personal. We neet to at least make an appearance that we're developing a "critical mass". We'd love to have you become part of the group.

Oops, this is the third Sunday, and we've nothing agreed. What's the phrase, "as much in the breach as the observance"? Making the best of it, how about NEXT Sunday 1-ish, just this one time? So where do people want to meet? There's Beaverton, Hillsboro, or somewhere in the middle, say along 185th? If'n it's still to be more of a formation than working meeting, I think a local casual restaurant might work, say Shari's on 185th near Cornell in Tannasborne? Somebody got a better suggestion? As I recall, Invisible checked with the Hillsboro Library for today at 1, and found their meeting room booked. Perhaps we could check if it's available on next Sunday? We really need to get a "critical mass" group committed to coming. What's it going to take?
