OMG, it's hereditary!!

So, the oldest daughter sends a text message that reads:

OMG I'm becoming u and grandpa. I just caught myself putting
a half-drank fountain drink in the fridge.
So what's the problem? :) I don't drink soda. But alot of times, I will buy two Route 44 iced teas from Sonic, and yes, I put the half-devoured drink in the fridge. I don't want the ice to melt quickly. I want cold tea.
I told her things could be worse.

A Brilliant Idea Or Wishful Thinking

I love Nebraska.

I love to travel.

I love to write.

Why can't I combine the three into something bigger and better? Sure, I write about Nebraska for the newspaper and a regional publication. But, I've been kicking around this idea that I know would be fantastic. Plus, it would involve all three of the things listed above.

The idea probably resembles a regional magazine that comes out every two months, but I think if you went to each town in the state, and went in alphabetical order, and wrote a couple of blog pieces - historical and current - about each town, you'd have a hit. If you could highlight a town a week, or even every two weeks, it would work. Plus, you'd have photo opportunities. And, it would give me stories for other publications.

Of course, there's the money issue. I'd have to make money on it. Travel isn't free. But I do think it could be an outstanding blog. I'm still pondering my options. I'd like to start next month, if possible.

Yeah, ok, I'll post something

I had to post an interview for WOW! and decided that while I'm on here, I just as well post something. Nothing amazing here. I completed three projects today, would like to finish two more, and I need to clean the bedroom since everything is still out of our closet so they could get to the hot water heater to install the new one.



Yeah, back to regular programming later this week!

OK, I need to get back on track. Schedules are so hectic during speech season and then when you add substitute teaching on top of it, plus all the writing deadlines I had, something had to give. And as usual, it's my blog that fell to the wayside. :( But now things are getting back to normal, so hopefully, I will get my sense of humor back and will write like crazy!
