9 a.m.: Although I am determined to get up at 6 and write form 7:30 to 12:30 every weekday, I am imperfect in my execution of this plan. Somehow I managed to oversleep and roll out of bed around 8 a.m. this morning. Oh well. I'll just start now.
Tomorrow (Wednesday, Jan. 16) I am giving a brief after-dinner talk to the Cape Cod Writers Center "Writers Night Out" gathering at Uno's restaurant in Hyannis. I suppose it is within the scope of my sabbatical to spend my writing time planning that talk.
I also hope to go for a three-mile run this afternoon.
1 p.m. update: Well, I worked hard for a few hours on the plan for tomorrow evening's talk for the Cape Cod Writers Center. My basic theme is Jon Kabat-Zinn's definition of mindfulness: paying attention, on purpose, without judgment, in the present moment, as if your life depended on it." (and I add: Because it does!)
4 p.m. update: I had a good run. I ran down to the Quashnet River and back, which is a total of four miles. I did a very slow jog, so it took about 40 minutes, but at least I got out there. Next step is to make it part of my daily routine. I also joined something called dailymile, which seems to be a social network for runners that has a lot of bells and whistles and allows you to post your miles and times. I'll give it a try.
