Feeling Optimistic

What is it?  The appearance of the chickens?  The Social Networking Workshop?  Having  material with two publishers (both of them are considering, not publishing
)? 15,000 words into the California book?  

I just have this crazy feeling of optimism.  Wonder why.  They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. 

Back in the day, Significant Other and I used to try and try to make Sachertorte and we always wondered why it didn't rise to extreme heights.   Many cakes later, we discovered it actually wasn't supposed to be a big tall cake.  We've decided to make it again sometime.
