First snow

Well, it's not much. Maybe half an inch before it started melting. Not even worth photographing, but it whitened the roads a bit early this morning and covered the grass for a while.

Redskins vs. Cardinals ...Zzzzzzz

Too bad AP sports writer Joseph White had to sit through this one. But he came up with the perfect lead :

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) -- This wasn't a football game. It was a series of unfortunate events.

Not that it really matters, but the Redskins won 21-19 -- My comment, not the reporter's.

At the time of this posting, the full story was here.

About time for a new post

OK, I'm over the post-vacation blues (mostly) and well-adjusted to the fall routine - school work, work, band booster volunteer work, school work, work, band booster volunteer work, etc. The novel is back on the shelf, although it's much closer to being finished than the last time I mentioned it. School is going well, and although I am here in the office on a Sunday, I will be able to go home soon and watch the Redskins, the undefeated Redskins. Yes, it's only two games into the season, but what the heck. I might as well feel good about them while I can.

Vacation

If you remember all your passwords when you get back from vacation, then vacation wasn't long enough!

Kittyhawk is great.

Now that school's out ...

Now that school's out, I have some time to devote to other interests, like jogging, messing around with Microsoft Flight Simulator and even working on my novel. I haven't forgotten about the novel. As a matter of fact, I don't think a day has gone by in the past four years (It's been that long since I started it) that I haven't thought about it. Too bad thinking about it doesn't get it finished. Anyway, I am working on it now, kind of. Fixing up a few things and hoping to actually add something new to it. As for flight simulator, I have used it to give me some basis for the flights my main character does. He's a better pilot than I am. If he wasn't, he wouldn't have gotten out of Chapter 1.
