Middle of the night haven't finished (started) packing not-sleepings

Time for Charlie to go to school... Saturday we head out from the Seattle area to Colorado Springs. I daresay we will be ready enough, though it doesn't feel like it at the moment. This trip, you guys are coming along--I'll be able to drop a line whenever there is time and where ever there is a... Sign in to see full entry.

And more good news...

The judges at the Thurston Co Fair awarded recognition to 3 of my 6 submissions: The aerial shot of Utah won a second and the Superintendant's Award. The Mesa Verde Ladder also won a second place ribbon. Forest Madonna won a first place blue ribbon. Very pleased, here! Sign in to see full entry.

Well, here I am out in the world again...

This time, it is a road trip to Colorado: my son has been successfully enrolled in college in Colorado Springs, and we are now in Estes Park waiting to hear by then end of tomorrow that my dad is doing well, recovering from the heart surgery that begins very early in the morning, and will probably...

The Pieces

Well then, that's done... Nothing to do but unpack, do the laundry, bundle up presents to mail around, and get back into the rhythm of normalcy, keeping an eye open for what has changed in what seems normal...

I got up at 4PM this morning...

I wonder how long this is goine to last! Went to bed at 9:30 pm and it turned out to be just a nap-- I was up at midnight, and busy until around 8am, then had a good 8 hours of sleep. 4pm here is 6am tomorrow morning in Singapore.

Coming home on Friday...

I leave Singapore about 6:30 am on Friday and arrive in Seattle on Friday, at about 8:30 am. It will take me all day to fly those two hours. It is likely to be the longest day of my life...
