Taking up where I left off...

Somehow the week’s slipped away, and not even sure where it went.

Was up at a decent hour and managed to put in some good work at the keyboard before going off to coffee with Sol and Dan.

Hit the gym afterward, then came home and talked to young Matthew on the phone for a while.

Snow flurries started up around 3:00 but got in a nice walk around the neighborhood just the same.

Cold front’s moving in, but that’s okay. Especially if it brings some moisture with it. We’ll use the time inside to take down the rest of the Christmas decorations.

Not bad for a Saturday...

Been coming to these postings late, or not at all, the past couple of weeks. Haven’t meant to fall behind, but the holidays have kept us busy.

Tomorrow, New Years’s Eve. Not the dearest of holidays to my heart, but one I look forward to just the same as it gives me a chance to reflect, wrap up old business, etc.

Got back to work on the long piece after a month-long hiatus, and feel pretty good about the progress I’ve made. Still have three or four short bits waiting for a final run-through, but they’ll hold for a day or two. Right now I just want to make a long hard run at something bigger.

Caught up with the boys a few times today while they tried out their Gizmos. Still some glitches on the video end, but overall a success. Gonna be fun to be more connected from now on.

Took a long walk downtown this afternoon. Good to get out. The weather was a little on the cool side, but the sky was a spotless blue and the sun shone the whole time.

Happy New Year, Everyone...

Wondering where the hell last night’s post went, but not enough to go searching for it. Funny, but it’s always the long thoughtful ones that decide to turn up missing.

Good day today. Put in some quality time at the keyboard, had six or seven conversations with the boys, managed a quick workout at the gym and a nice stroll around the block as well.

Hanging back with a pizza tonight. Probably turn in early and hope for an early rise. Looking forward to getting back to work.

Making the rounds...

Good day, strong finish.

Woke early and knocked out an article for the Philharmonic, then tidied up around the office and mailed off a few Christmas notes.

Hit the gym late afternoon and put in a nice workout.

Warm weather came along and melted most of the snow, another plus. So now there’s only the wrapping of the X-mas presents and I’m home free. The X-mas presents that haven’t been lost in the mail, anyway.

Looking to make little headway on a story tomorrow.

Tonight, pizza.

One more ordinary Monday...

Playing catch-up after a long weekend.

Spent most of the morning answering emails and taking care of housekeeping. Revisions on a long-neglected draft. Hit the gym a little after noon, and got in a good light workout.

Finished my Christmas shopping for Dylan, then came home and did a little decorating.

Leek and potato soup tonight.

Dreams...

Back in the saddle.

First thing I want to do is finish a story. Meantime, gotta get in some shopping, present wrapping….

Worked out with my bud, Sol, for the first time in weeks. Needed a nap afterward.

Been pushing hard to make it a fruitful week. We’ll see where it goes. Meanwhile, same old, same old.

Weather’s supposed to be nice for the next couple of days. Might take a break and see if I can get in some fishing.

Can't ask for more...

Pleasant day all around.

Woke early, put in a good day at the keyboard, and managed to haul a load of leaves and branches off to Rockytop for recycling.

Weather was a little cooler than it’s been the past couple of weeks, but still nice. Forecast is for cold and maybe even snow in the next couple of days. We’ll see.

Tonight, pot pies and a movie.

Tomorrow, more Christmas decorations.

All in a day's work...

Put it to the test today.

Up early, did some good work on a reader draft, got in a nice workout at the gym, and late afternoon nap.

In other news, Kitcat finally warmed up to his new bed with the help of some catnip spray.

Christmas lights are coming along. House looks great.

Gonna clean up the yard tomorrow and see if we can’t make a trip to Rocky Top.

Taking care of business...

Busy day.

Got a little writing in before heading out to Verizon for a new iPhone. Rode the (G3) for many a year, but it was time to retire it. Have a new 15 now, and should be good for long haul. Hope so anyway.

Sent off a N critique mid-morning, answered a few emails, then went off to the gym.

Met with our estate lawyer late afternoon.

Productive day.

A lovely sunday...

Spent the day up in the San Isabel forest scouting for Christmas trees. Tried a lot of spots, but none of them gave us the look we were after, so we drove home skunked. Next try, Clear Lake.

Lost my cell while climbing, but somehow found it again. Guess that made it a lucky day despite the fact we didn’t find a tree.

Beat from all the fresh air and hiking. Looking forward to a nice quiet night.

Crime and punishment...

Went to bed early last night. By morning, all of the RSV vax side-effects were pretty well gone. Glad to have that behind me.

Did some good work on one of the new shorts. Should have it in place by the week’s end and ready to send out. Fingers crossed.

Hit the gym a little before noon, and got in a light workout. Came home and took care of business around the house.

Neighbors had their truck windows smashed out the night before. Hope it isn’t going to devolve into a trend.
