In Darkness

So the wife and I were watching some dumb action movie the other night. I think it was “WAR” with Jet Li and Jason Statham. Anyway, toward the beginning of that movie somebody fires a shotgun into a wooden crate, producing the characteristic circular shot pattern in the wood. If you’ve ever seen such a pattern, you know what I’m talking about. If you haven’t, you may was well stop reading right now.

One of my dogs is sick.
I don’t know if its “life-threatening” sick or just “extremely expensive and annoying” sick. I guess we’ll be finding that out pretty soon.

I had an odd dream last night.

In the dream, my employer (same one as in real life) was about to either fire or severely reprimand me because some people read my stories and now the other employees were afraid of me. I was being interviewed by the corporate psychologist (which we don’t have, btw) and I mentioned that I liked to write and I had a website. The next day, I was called into a room with all the managers and the Official Guy Who Fires People (which we DO have!). I woke up before the official decision, but I think they were going for some kind of legal restraining order.

An odd dream, eh?

So now, in real life, I’m on the road with a co-worker. We’re in Boston. Over dinner he asks if I’m still doing the webcomic that I told him about a few months ago. I told him no, but I was doing regular stories, which I’ve been doing for over ten years. He said I should start a blog or a website and put my stories on it.

I said “Yeah” and quickly changed the subject.

Mama didn’t raise no fools.

Starting tomorrow (Friday) I’ll be on a whirlwind tour of the east coast for the next week or so. I’ll be spending three days at a company event in Florida, then I’ll see my house for maybe 10 hours before shipping off to Boston for a work assignment. No writing will take place during the weekend, although I’ll probably be able to check/respond to emails, etc. But just in case stuff gets crazy, I’m just letting you know not to expect much for the next three days, possibly extending into next week depending on how crazy it is up there.

And Happy Assorted Miscellaneous Winter Holidays.
