The Last Hurrah

  • May. 6th, 2008 at 7:35 AM

This past weekend was pretty busy.  It was the last hurrah for my kids' activities for this school year.  My daughter had her annual dance recital Friday and Saturday evening.  I think she was ready for it to be over as much as I was.  I remember when she started out back in pre-K.  Back then they were dressed in cute little tu-tu's and practiced keeping in step.  Now she's a senior in high school and they're shaking every body part in oh so many suggestive manners.  It's too much for my fatherly comfort.

My son had his soccer tournament on Saturday and Sunday.  His team made it to the finals but ended up in second place.  They made it that far on individual talent alone.  He's also in high school, and at that level all too many of the coaches just let the players do what they want instead of actually coaching them.  I can't complain too much--I coached his team for several years in the past and know how hard it is to get people to volunteer.  Still it's hard sitting on the sidelines knowing what they should be doing and watching them not do it.  But I made a conscious decision to sit it out so that my son could experience other coaches.

On the writing front:  I finished chapters 22 and 23 of Heart of Odin.  The story is beginning to wind down, now I'm looking for the right spot to break it off.  It is the first in a series of books--a trilogy at least--and I want to make sure this is a stand alone story, but still have a spot where I can continue the story into the next novel.  I still have a couple of chapters to go.  I'm zeroing at on 60,000 words (according to Word).
