Because I pin...Back-up should always be the mantra! Because I ping-pong between a couple of computers on a normal day, I'm fairly good about observing that rule.<BR/><BR/>Glad to hear your notes, vids and pictures were resurrected. An unimaginable loss -- most of the stuff I have is backed up in multiple places and little of it is as special as your trip mementos. 90% of my computer files is just Word files. Pictures and music make up the rest, but there's not that much of it.<BR/><BR/>Most of the time it hasn't really felt like being on a roll, but I guess things do seem to be creeping along. I haven't touched some things that I ought to be doing, but the fiction seems to be jealously monopolizing my time. Thanks for the encouragement, though -- I can never get enough.<BR/><BR/>I will convey your hello to Hamilton who will no doubt hiss and look expectantly for food.C.

I was overjoyed when my notes and drafts were eventually rediscovered within the layered heaps of file folders those precious Geeks had pulled from the wreckage. <BR/><BR/>It is wonderful to hear that your writing is going so well. Even in your eloquent postings, it is evident that you are truly on a roll. Cheers to all you have accomplished! <BR/><BR/>(And hello to the cat.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
