Retreat

A retreat in military terms means, to withdraw from the field of battle to minimize losses against a superior fighting force.  This weekend I'm going on a retreat, a writer's retreat.  Rather than withdrawing, we writers are gathering to force down the barriers of progress.  Once more into the breach dear friends, once more.  So I'll be spending the weekend at a rustic cabin on beautiful Lopez Island.  I am looking forward to the event.  And I hope to have fun.  I don't have enough fun these days.  Being with a group of like-minded people is fun.
