Retreat! Retreat!

My older sister, let's call her Caitlin Sullivan, is a published writer, damn her. And this week she is ensconced at the Whidbey Island Writer's Refuge trying to write. That is, when I'm not calling her to ask if they serve scones when you're ensconced or is it like a bird refuge, with writers being stared at by word-watchers? She doesn't take my calls anymore, but I'm very impressed by her commitment and hope she writes like hell! Go Cait!

    Dana, this is Whidbey. There's probably no reception. And thanks for giving my friend Petra a plug.

    Actually, Dana, word watching is more high-tech than bird watching. There are hidden web cams in the cabin that are monitoring Caitlin's productivity. If she doesn't meet her writing goals, we have a special way to "motivate" her via the electrified seat cushions in her office chair. It's a great system. You'll find she's been very productive :).

    Ha! She could really use that, Petra! I'll ask her how her bum is feeling when I see her next week. That's probably a better gauge than asking her how much she wrote.

    You are NOT gonna ask me how my bum is. Like, ever! However, this does explain those electric shocks I've been experiencing...
