Just got back from Albuquerque NM last night. Took 12 hours straight. It was great to sleep in my own bed again.
On the way to work I got a phone call from a radio station about my interview at 7:45 am this morning. "Are you ready to go?" I was asked. Of course. I didn't forget or anything (yeah, right); so I pulled over to a parking lot by a gas station and fielded the questions. If I had taken the call all the way to the office, we might've gotten cut off, as the reception fades out there by the zebras and deer.
Now I've got to get busy contacting all our ad contacts, doing some last minute interviews, and making sure all my writing for the next issue is done. I want to post a couple new online exclusives, send out a mass email newsletter, and get caught up on my mail, phone messages, and email. And I also need to get ready for the Sonshine festival. That's this weekend (starts Thursday).
Over the weekend last weekend I saw my nephew, Greg, get married to the lovely Marie. It was a cool wedding and all us family members had a great time together. It's so cool to watch my little daughters play with their cousins and build memories that'll last.
I stopped by a gas station on the way here (in Muleshoe TX, I believe) and my wife came back to the car: "They've got 4-packs of Jones Soda on sale, 2 for $1." I hustled in there and quickly gathered two cases of the stuff and sat it on the counter. When the cashier started ringing it up, I discovered that it was "2 bottles for $1" and not 2 4-packs. Ah well.
