Well, well, well....

Well, here I am again, after an absence of two weeks, and sitting before my computer at 3 a.m. I can't begin to tell you how really bizarre this all is. It is the average end time for my work day these days. Yeah, 3 a.m. What a strange time to say that, once more, I'm changing my modus operandi. Oh, well, who can keep up 4 blogs, 2 websites, and both chat and IM and online communities. Well, I'm going to streamline that, but I don't think I'll take up time and space haranguing about that.

What do I do with my days? Well, I sleep late, if today is anything like the norm (which it unfortunately is). I spend time doing spiritual exercises (traditional Pentecostal Christians call it prayer in the Spirit and Bible study), then take off for physical exercise (fast walk, followed every other day with a workout on our TotalGym workout machine), sandwiched between making and receiving several personal and business phone calls with a quick check of e-mail. Gail then serves up a very late lunch/dinner, then we are on our way with work.

Today was slightly different, because I was concerned with Gail's morale, we went together on our long jaunt (usually about 4 miles), followed by a little Christmas card hunting and then, our stop at Starbucks. Staying indoors all the time, even though it can be great working online, can be a real pain in the rear end. So getting out, even one as manifestly unexciting as what we do, is a real highlight. Believe me, I have no desire to let this be the final end of how Gail and I spend our lives. We have to travel, big time.

But that burning desire is fed every day by either who I chat with, or message off to, or which websites I see today. In the last few days I talk with people from the Philippines, from Colombia, from India, from China, from the UK, Ireland, Brazil, from Venezuela and Mexico. There are just too many really neat places in this world that have been passed up. But no more. I just need to get the money. And that is my goal for the coming year, among several.

I am falling asleep....zzzz.... It's getting to where I will become a pumpkin. So I guess I'll signoff. I'll add some links tomorrow. I'll chat again then. Adios.
