Furlough's over - back to aimless pontificating
Where have I been?
- Editing the last few chapters of my novel. The storytelling's pretty much completed. It's mostly punctuation and proofreading now. Although there may be a hidden message when I see where I've written: "She turned his head."
- Quick visit to Olean, NY, where I get a re-charge from a non-fishing trip with my Sunday NY Times-reading friends. Now I need a recipe for yosenabe.
- Back to saying "no" to requests for charitable support. Especially from whiners who accuse my employer of dissing a diversity segment, when we've given more than $1 million to support that constituency over the years. "We don't find value in underwriting your online knitting festival, but we support knitters in general."
Spent the weekend raking accumulated snow off my roof. There's speculation that the weight of the snow is damaging the cinder block foundation of our house. I'm dubious, but the snow came a-tumbling down, anyway.
