Morning

Good morning sweet world. I slept from 10 until 8:30 this morning. 10.5 hours! I think that has to be some sort of record for me. Furthermore, the only reason I woke up was because I am hungry.

I had a good day yesterday. Woke up early, cleaned up my apt, chatted with Reggy (damned Wolf Creek Pass), went to lunch with Jeff Krieg and Terry. Hung out and watched movies until I went to bed.

I'm now getting daily emails from Mom about Christmas. I wonder if she has any idea how much I hate Iowa. The only good thing about this year, is that Mom has her own laptop that I can borrow without dealing with the wrath of my step-dad. Unfortunately, every one has dial-up connections. I just want to get some writing done. Plus it would be the perfect time to work on some magazine submissions.

The rest of my time will be spent listening to uncles complain about their lot in life, hear the latest rumors that Maytag is going to shut down, watch Grandpa die, and watch my hometown deteriorate.

But I have two weeks before I'm there and next weekend should be good if the weather cooperates. Now I must go and put plastic around my bedroom window.
