The Journal, Tuesday, 4/11

Hey Folks,

I’m posting this edition of the Journal very early and strictly as a placeholder.

I have to be in Tucson at 8 and I have not the foggiest idea what will happen or how long it will take. Or what will happen otherwise, for that matter.

If I get back in time to post a more thorough entry, I’ll do so and trash this one.

If not, well, the streak continues.

Other than the brief bit I added in Today, and Writing below, I decided not to add anything to this except the nonfiction word count.

Today, and Writing

Rolled out at 3 again, did all the routine stuff. Probably this will be a nonwriting day.

After orientation, a tour, and the personal interview (about 5 hours’ worth) at Job Corps and lunch (we were both starving), we got home about 2. Short version: he’s in and he’ll start in a month, give or take a week or two. We’re very proud and happy for him.

Back tomorrow.
