Tuesday, 7th January -- what a chilly, gorgeous day here in Sausalito -- Alas, this morning is the last time to see the tree all lit up -- the entire top floor decorations come down today.

Sending in DEADLOCK today to publisher. Since my editor is no longer at Simon & Schuster, (believe me, I miss her, she's an excellent editor) it should be interesting. I wonder if anyone will do anything. We'll see --

The gym is germ-ridden so it's Purell every three minutes, not touching anyone and wiping down machines before and after using. I don't have a cold yet -- digits crossed. Colds are the worst and the flu? Can't bear to think of that possibility.
So, when you're at the gym today, do everything I talked about above. Protect yourself!!!!! And wash your hands lots -- I have stock in Purell (well, not really, but I'll think about it.) Cardio -- 30 minutes, thirty seconds really fast (whatever you're doing) then cool down for thirty seconds, then up again -- "Interval training." Then I want you to press your palm against a wall (straight arm) and push, hold -- isometrics -- see what you think and report back to me.

Many of us fairly sucked on our picks this past weekend, but you know, there were lots of surprises. This weekend, we're all going to SHINE.
