Spring is in the air!

We woke up to heavy rains and thunder this morning at 5:30 am. The drive to Beaufort was slow until below Ravenel. The sun was out the rest of the day and the temperature was in the low 70s.

We had a holiday from school and work. Brunch at Bagel Nation where I cried when I read the news of Pat Conroy. Charlotte was quite sympathetic. She has not read much of Mr. Conroy's work, but has seen most of the movie adaptations. Some time on Folly watching the surfers this dreary day.

I celebrated my 70th birthday in October and realized that I’ve spent my whole writing life trying to find out who I am and I don’t believe I’ve even come close. It was in Beaufort in sight of a river’s sinuous turn, and the movements of its dolphin-proud tides that I began to discover myself and where my life began at fifteen.

I have recently been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. With the help of the wonderful people at M.D. Anderson I intend to fight it hard. I am grateful to all my beloved readers, my friends and my family for their prayers. I owe you a novel and I intend to deliver it.

Much love,

Pat Conroy

SEWE Sunday this Valentine's Day.

Early mass, the rest of the day at the various venues of the Southeastern Wildlife Expo. It was so shivering cold that we took a shuttle bus from Marion Square back to our parking garage.
