So I am not going to Houston, Texas, It's settled. My primary care doc said that she would not be responsible for me if I took off with the possibility of DVT so eminent. Flying is not among my approved actvities! I am not arguing with her.

I am not "..dying to win," I don't have to be. Daryl, Rosezelle,.myself and Carol Hoffman have already won...a place in the Houston WorldFest Film Festival and that is "winning" enough,"..indeed! I can get my little plaque or statue or whatever through the mail and it will look just as good on top of my TV as anything else does up there.

I have stated that I wanted to go to that awards ceremony so badly that I would take an Amish buggy to Texas just to get there. Well,..since it would take too long to get there by buggy and I'm not allowed to fly,..I'll just have to stay home..and work on my next book! :D
