The first day back at work after a week off is always tough. Especially when you know you’re going to retire in a little over a year. The desire for that time to fly is really, really strong. I have tons of work this week, and it’s showing no sign … Continue reading →
That Went Well
Ahhhhh. I had a wonderful if not bizarre airline experience last week. I mentioned the front end gymnastics — dancing, if you will. The actual trip? A dream.

Flying and Dancing
Today, I fly home to Texas for a week. Weeks ago, I purchased a ticket for oh-dark-thirty. Last Saturday evening, Northwest’s computer called to tell me my flight from Memphis had been canceled, and I was rescheduled. Conveniently (at least partially) they moved my whole flight from the first flight … Continue reading →

I’ll be out of town and off the net until Sunday the 22nd. I’ve returned the power supply and am awaiting what I expect will be a replacement process. While I hope I don’t return and find it sitting on my front porch, I do hope I won’t have to … Continue reading →

Psychosomatic?
I’ll know by tomorrow. Strep throat has been all the rage at work for the last week and a half. From the way my throat feels tonight, I think I had better stop in for a throat culture first thing in the morning.

I’ve been reading a lot lately — both fiction and non-fiction. While I consider a pleasure factor, I’m reading to learn. The more I read with the Eye of a Writer, the more I realize I have a lot to learn about storytelling. Writing, if one is a writer, is … Continue reading →
