There’s nothing like the smell of chlorine in the morning.  Yup, I’m back in the pool, swimming with my friends.  I fell right back into the groove with my laps and then power walking with my friends afterward.  We walk and share recipes.  I always leave hungry with ideas for dinner. 

Bogie is back in the groove, too. I flew home after my tour, but Wayne drove home with Bogie.  Wayne brought him by the office yesterday, and Bogie leaped into my lap, placed his chin on my arm and looked up at me with those dark eyes as if to say, "I’m here now; you can start writing."
