a fine, even
grand thing
---------------------

I was driving over to
the resort early this morning when I noticed a truly remarkable
sunrise. This afternoon, one of my daughters mentioned that
she saw a really nice sunrise this morning while riding to school on
the bus. I told her that I noticed it too.

Before I had first done so, writing a
book seemed a fine, even grand thing.
And so it still seems — except, truth to tell, it is a
lot better to have written a book than to actually be writing
one.
