The Lieberman clan hit the trail for a short 6 mile run and ride. Linda rode and I ran.The temperature was in the high 50s and the trail in very good shape. There were just a few wet and slippery spots. There were a number of people that we passed who were walking. At about the 17 mile marker, I encountered my friend and pacer Bill who was riding his horse Enterprise.I was in front of Linda and Decca so I had an opportunity to chat with him before Linda reached us. He told me that he was sad because his "other" mother passed last week. Dorothy was 97 and lived in Southern California. He said that he didn't want to go to the AERC convention in Reno because he did not want to be around people . It was good seeing Bill even though he was sad. He wished me luck on next Saturday's 50 K.
Linda complained that Decca at times did not want to work. She had encouraged her by using the crop and her legs to propel her forward. So we finish the ride and run. Afterwards, we saw the movie The Karate Kid featuring young Smith and Jackie Chan.
I'm getting close in sending my book proposal to the publishing company John Wiley . Mike Barlow wants me to work on the marketing section. It seems that I have a lot of work to do. Writing the book is one thing because getting it published is a whole other dimension. I'll keep you posted.
