Plan B
Um, yeah. 9pm is apparently too late. Also, I apparently need a wordcount. There's that wacky time when I get home, while dinner is cooking; I'd be fresher then. The Athlete's Diary convinces me that I need to modify the Motivational Spreadsheet of Doom to handle...

Immortal Gifts invites readers to re-evaluate the meanings of things such as life, death, freedom, hate and love from the first page. Katherine Villyard manages to capture some of the most poignant questions we ask ourselves as we go through our individual lives.
