I stood at my kitchen counter. It’s granite. I’d always wanted granite counter tops, finally have them. I had just boiled six eggs and began tapping one on the stone, tap, tap, tap. I looked out my window at the construction going on behind our house. I see a white utility truck, a pick up, with wires and tool boxes affixed to its bed. An electric company’s truck.

You popped back into mind a week or so, Meg. So I thought I'd check Facebook. I did, and after few clicks I found this wonderful piece of writing. And in so many ways I related. Every morning I eat three hard-boiled eggs. Our granite countertops are less than a week old, and I roll the eggs across our new stone. I too fight to stay at the computer to write. Reminded me I'm lucky to get to do what I do.

Hi Ted! That's so funny, I was thinking about you recently as well! I just read Shawn Coyne's "The Story Grid" and listen to his podcasts, and thought about writing fiction :) It's great to hear from you, and what funny coincidences with the eggs and counters!
