| Cook woke me up again. 90210 wanted to have a chat. Since she's in charge I can forgo my nap. But I needed something stronger than soup to wake me up. Cook just shrugged and said, "you'll just go back to bed again and complain about not being able to sleep". He has a point. 90210: I'm not worried, but I needed to chat. What do understand about the Green Star? Me: Kat knows better. Her people have a bitter history and Humans are her specialty. 90210: I know, but no one wakes Kat from her Kat-nap.

Me: Ah, motivation. The fear of having to wake her up. [we both laugh] 90210: There was that. Heroes. Write about heroes, fictional or real. Fomr:
Personally: we can be anybody's hero on a given day. There's a misperception that heroes need to be larger than life. Also ... didn't know about 'edit points'. For:
