I mean, it was one of those days when I was done by noon.
I got up early, started working on a scope, got it halfway there, not quote wrapped, but close enough. Then I realized, before I ever left, that I had a phone reading. Plus, there was the sales call from phone company, offering a deal on DSL. Cheap. About 33% cheaper than the cable modem. Plus, really, an easier – and more secure – system on the router. Since AOL/Time-Warner/RoadRunner grossly misrepresented their pricing structure to me, I have no qualms whatsoever in dropping them. Less money for the same bandwidth plus – think about this – DSL is a lot more secure.
I can always rearrange my location in the trailer, too, and piggyback off a neighbor’s wireless rig. Doesn’t quite reach from the current desk situation, but if I move over to a broad window. – free wireless.
I took three phone readings, almost like I scheduled that way. So when I hooked it out the door, destination unknown, I was free for the afternoon. I was hoping to work in a swim, but I was too hungry and a quick detour over to Sandy’s was far more preferable to anything else. I just gauged the day wrong, as the burger alone cost more than the usual special.
But it was good.
Ma Wetzel pusehd a copy of Stallion Gate by Martion Cruz Smith on me, last month. I picked it up after reading The Da Vinci Code. What’s nice, as I was packing up for next weekend, the setting for Stallion Gate is New Mexico. El Paso, close enough.
Which is all a whole lot of nothing. But it was an oddly, quietly satisfactory day.
