I've seen the evidence of this over and over...and, like you said, perhaps this is the year you're supposed to start that novel.<br /><br />After I officially retired from my thirty-year career, I relished the idea of not having to wake up to an alarm. It's great, but what was unexpected is that I still get up at almost the same time, even without the alarm.
