I missed a deadline today
I do a column for the local paper. It runs in the weekend edition, which comes out Saturday.
I write the column on Wednesday, let it sit until Thursday, then reread and change as needed. I send it Friday morning.
I sat down Wednesday night and wrote the first paragraph. Then I don't know what happened.
Last night I was sitting at the computer at 9 thinking I had forgotten something.
Today I woke up, picked beans, watered plants, filled bird feeders, had breakfast and went shopping.
At about 6 tonight, I said to Jackie that I had a column to finish. She said, "You know it's Friday." I did not.
I never finished the column, never sent it. I missed my deadline.
I know I went out a couple of nights to look for the comet, which I can not see for the life of me. I have been up at 4 a.m. with no luck and out at 9 p.m. with about a zillion mosquitoes swirling and biting. Lots of fireflies...but no comet.
I ordered out tonight and gave the girl my last name. I picked up the order and the young girl looked at me and asked me what my last name was. I told her. She asked my how to spell it. I told her. She laughed.
Who ever took my order wrote it was for Dick Hole.
I guess I better start using Johnson.
Stay healthy Stay safe. Wear a mask.
Peace and Love
