Today was a productive day. I went for a ride this morning and took my laptop with in my backback to do some writing and riding. Okay, not at the same time, but I took a ride about ten miles down the trail and kicked back to write a while. It was a good ride and I got some good writing in on my book, "It's Impossible NOT to Make Money." I have a deadline fast approaching and have been slacking lately in the writing department.

And then the coolest thing happened....

I go off the trail a little ways and I am sitting alone under a tree near a clearing when two deer walk out and start eating clover in the field. I sat there watching and they came closer until they were just 50 feet away. The larger of the two looked up directly at me several times but as I was downwind of it, I guess he didn't recognize me as trouble. It was surreal as I am watching these deer eat and off in the distance I can hear the bikers and hikers roll by on the trail. Needless to say, the book took a turn toward introspection and I sorta got off the subject of making money. Oh well, it was good stuff - even if it doesn't make it into this book.

After that I went back and did some work around the house before heading back out to Barnes and Noble - again with the laptop. I did some research that I have been needing to do for quite some time and the bookstore is a great place to do it. I double checked some quotes and found some excerpts I have been needing from some other books.
