Fierce Competition

Here's another small excerpt from the previous-mentioned book:

"Sorry, Maureen...I'm trying to tell you about my whole life."

"No one's stopping you, " said Jess. "But you've got to make it more interesting. That's why we drift off and talk about biscuits."

See, now, that's how I feel sometimes. Why does everyone keep drifting off and talking about biscuits. Biscuits! They are delicious---especially warm and fresh out of the oven, with butter and honey. Mmm. Sometimes it does seem like biscuits might be a little more interesting than my average day.

Which is okay, really. Sometimes interesting costs too much.
