Even with getting up at 4am, I still feel like there is so much more to do and I'm not quite in line with all I want to accomplish.
With working out and writing and making a good healthy lunch for work and reading my morning prayers and wishing I could do a little bit more of each of those categories it's hard not to become self absorbed. Balance, it's always about balance.

There have been constant reports on Fidel Castro and his brother taking over Cuba while he recoups. Cuba will be very interesting in the coming years. What kind of impact will Fidel's eventual death have on Cuba? I don't know nearly enough about Cuban history and Che Guevara and how Castro ultimately became the leader. A friend of mine mentioned that she had watched on the Fifth Estate (possibly?) that Cuba has self sustaining organic farmers that breed certain types of bugs that kill the bugs that destroy crops. These farmers actually make more money in Cuba than doctors. Which I found interesting because of course every where else in the world farmers don't make any kind of substantial money. Will the next government care about that?

I don't have any clear focused questions that can, will,could be asked about Cuba because my knowledge is limited. But it will no doubt garner a lot of material for writers who are interested.

The children abducted by the Ontario pedophile, Peter Whitmore were rescued. As we hear more and more stories of children abducted and rescued, for our time, it may be something writers cover more in their fiction. A character's child that is recovering from that type of ordeal. A back story of a main character who was abducted as a child.

How do you help a child who has been in the newspapers as missing when you finally get that child back? How does his or her classmates treat him when they see him again? What type of questions is he asked? Things will never be the same, how does he find some sense of normalcy after that ordeal?

Humidex, smog advisories, the wind that feels like a hair dryer, I'm packing my bathing suit to go for a swim after work.

Note to self: I had nothing much to talk about when I woke up this morning and responded to what I heard on the radio.
