I leave in a couple of hours for a jam-packed trip home to Louisiana. Family, friends, and running up and down the road a lot, but it’s important to get my dad down to see one part of the family that they can no longer drive to because of the distance. And since I have girlfriends that I try to see down that way as well, it means a trip on Friday, turn around to go back up on Sat to go back that day, then back that evening. If it sounds confusing, it is a bit, but I’m used to it. Due to other circumstances, I also have to go up to Missouri for a couple of days before I come back for Daddy’s actual birthday. His birthday is the core reason that I take this trip around the first week of October each year.
Anyway, the other thing about this particular trip is that I will have intermittent connectivity. I had intended to look into one of the wireless services, but got slammed with several tasks that interfered with me doing that. I had one of those once with our cell carrier and as it turned out, their coverage was not as complete as we thought and I terminated the service in somewhat of a fit of pique because of the way it was handled. Now, there can be a sense of liberation in “being unplugged”, although for this particular trip, that won’t be true. I do, however, have the proof manuscript for Small Town Haven (which apparently is available for pre-publication order) http://amzn.to/1dLmN8C and I will have it ready to send back to the publisher by the end of the trip. They are pushing for a late October release.
So, off I go and if my posts are delayed a bit, I’ll catch up.
