Random Thoughts...

No particular reason to put metaphorical pen to paper tonight, just felt the need to move forward with my blogging even if it is in infinitesimal amounts. Maybe going forward is all there is.

Had a very nice Thanksgiving with my friends, Steve and Carolyn. We watched "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving," which Carolyn had never seen before and then I introduced them to "Castle." I think they're hooked. I feel like I've spread the Gospel. It was a lovely time and I was very grateful they had invited me.

In one week's time I'll be back in Huntsville. I'm very excited at the prospect, yet a bit leery of not being able to access everything in cyberspace there that I'm used to from my desk here. Will I be able to blog? Will I have access to Face book? I'm appalled and amazed that I ever thought these would be serious questions that I would have. It just goes to show how much I've embraced web technology ... as least in as far as I understand it.

I'm tentatively planning on staying Alabama until the middle of January or so. Of course, my planning may be moot if I land a job in the next four weeks. It'll be nice to see some of my old friends. I'm disappointed that Ronnie will be away this Christmas, visiting his wife's relatives in California. I'm used to always having him there for Christmas Eve dinner. Oh well, things change.

My sister and brother-in-law have been in India since November 19th and while I've enjoyed the privacy and solitude, I'm ready for them to come home. I know Titan is. He misses his mom and dad and gets antsy at not having more play time during the day. Well, perhaps more accurately, he misses not having multiple playmates. He's my buddy and I'll miss him greatly while I'm gone.

I bought a book on plot development that looks very promising. I'm hoping it'll help kick-start my writing. With any luck I might have to buy a small notebook to write in for the trip home. I'm looking forward to studying the book in the coming days.

Okay, that's enough for now. Sleepy.
