    Thanks, everyone.

    And congratulations, minstrel. I know you will do well.

    Can you believe I was turned down for the fire permit? ;)

    Today I was happy despite the day being uneventful. But hey?- a day in my life doesn't have to be action-packed in order to be enjoyable.

    That's awesome.

    I'm heading to a writing conference tomorrow. I finished and printed out 2 opening pages and a query letter, made 17 copies and have them ready to go. I finished packing for my kids and myself for a trip to Florida on Saturday, and am almost finished packing for my conference that starts tomorrow. I'm pretty pleased with the day. Also, I can still walk, although with an air brace, so as long as my ankle does not get worse from it's sprain, I should be all set.

    I just accepted a new position with a local school district. It's a sizable increase in pay (about 70%) and it's in the part of town I expect to buy a house in 2015. Great day!

    Thanks Lemex. The best part is that now my wife will be able to stay home with the kids for another year.

    I've just convinced a friend to accompany me on a trip to downtown Athens in the New Year. We're both writing about social and political upheaval, and should 'write what we know.' This can only go well :)

    Today I've had an eventless but happy day nonetheless. I just got done watching a good and close auto race...this year's Indy 500.

    And later tonight, their's a NASCAR race I'll be watching.

    Today I celebrated Memorial Day by volunteering at a local library that had a bake, plant, and book sale in order to raise money for the library. It was fun! I enjoyed helping out, as I helped set up and break down tables and chairs, and watched a parade they had in town that went right by the library.

    My first full-time, permanent job starts on Monday and I've sorted moving into a house share! It's that time of the year where tennis tournaments are actually broadcast on TV so I can lust after Nadal. ;) Plus, an aspect of my personal life is going well. LIFE IS GOOD. :D
