Well I finally figured it out! Yes, it takes me a while sometimes, but once I get it . . . .

I miss the retreat so much. On the way home, Tricia and I went through a ten minute rainstorm that felt like a portal back to reality. Even though it seems like a dream, I can't even begin to say what the retreat did for me personally and as a writer. Thanks again, Joel, for putting it together. Now that I'm back in reality, I have more drive to write than ever (as evidenced by a cowrite last night- thanks Brian and Ed!)

Hope everyone is well!
