[The Pelagic Argosy]

I know about distractions. I have a four year old. (More chocolate milk? Are you kidding me?!? It's going to start coming out of your pores!)

Whenever I'm going to be pulled away for a few hours, I jot down a few phrases at the bottom, describing my thought processes at the time that I had to leave. "Fire...stolen mirror...She is lonely...describe picture above fireplace...chocolate milk..." etc. Then I can pick up the thread again.
