I hold many ill-formed opinions and wrong-headed assumptions. For instance:
1. That I own a little white dog. She's little, but. When it's snows, she becomes less-than-white, especially when she poses near pristine, new fallen snow.
2. That my new little Prius is infallible, and would never, 
ever slide completely off the roadway without my approval. Or permission. Uh, yes it would. And did, in the semi-blizzard last Friday. As a result, it's in the fixit shop, awaiting a new tire rim, plus other stuff.
3. That I am completely and totally finished writing my new book. The one that comes out any minute.... at least any minute if you fast forward the time-space continuum until the end of August, 2009.
Meanwhile, here is this stack, still in manuscript form, along with complimentary purple pencil, provided for my official corrections and changes. I am permitted to keep this purple pencil, according to my copy editor, who points out that I will need it for the NEXT round of manuscript pages, winging their way me-ward in February.
I'm not sure I can bear to read this One. More. Time...
But I do like my new purple pencil
