Fortune cookie eaten after fish filet lunch in the Sunset District reads, “In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.” I interpret this to be a sign of encouragement of my recent decision to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days during November as part of National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo.
Fortune cookie eaten after solo Chinese dinner last night reads, “Your charm has inspired an secret admirer.” I interpret this to be a sign that I attract those not particularly keen on grammar.
I interpret both as a sign that I eat way too much Chinese food to go.

You amaze me with your humor which is an essential ingredient in your writing (like Salt?). I am also amazed and pleased that you continue to post on your site despite such a schedule. Just finished a wonderful book about very serious subjects, but the humor is what made it endearing. Talk to you soon. This working thing is getting old. Yes, you guessed it, Moomers
