I haven’t been meandering much lately. I’ve been too busy with final edits to my “Meander North” manuscript — a book coming out this fall composed of the best of my blog entries. Choosing the stories was easy. Figuring out how to edit them was difficult because they occur during different timeframes during the first nine years of my blog. Plus, there are fifty-one of them!
But I think my editors and have I figured it out. If all goes well, the book should be available in late October. I’m planning a launch event in Duluth for early November. I will post details here once I know them, and I’ll be doing a cover reveal!
In other news, I’ve been continuing my kickboxing workouts. I love them. I am proud to say I can now jump rope 70 times in a row. That’s quite a change from a couple of months ago when my count was like, uh, nothing. Everytime I go to the gym, I feel like Rocky Balboa. 🙂
Russ and I have had many gatherings of friends and family lately. We’re looking forward to setting sail on Lake Superior soon.
Until then, meander well, my friends.

You’ve been busy. Keep on truckin’ and kickboxing! And good luck with the book!
Thank you! Who would have thunk it, kickboxing at my age! But it’s so fun.
Love that you’re seeing progress. Always great to see someone else improve through the grind. Inspiring too. Thank you for giving me a little pep in the morning, and do keep these updates coming!
Thanks for reading my blog, Stuart, and best wishes on your writing, too!
Good luck on your book!
Thank you, Diana. Keep on writing!
Could not comment yesterday so I am trying again. I am impressed with your kick boxing! Seems you are making progress on the book too!
Thanks, Jo Nell. Another thing I forgot to mention is that I am still wearing my invisilingers (teeth aligners). Have another 23 weeks to go with them. Ugh! But I can chew much better now! Chewing is so useful. 🙂
And you are making personal progress and doing things for yourself!
Good luck with your book. I’m looking forward to reading it!
Thanks Vickie. Would you like a advanced reader copy PDF? Maybe you could write a review for Amazon, etc.?????
