I'm word weary tonight. I've been writing for most of the day. My column due and I started working on that but then I got an alert from the local college that they were under a lockdown because of an escaped felon.
As it turns out, the police had him back in custody within 30 minutes, but the editor wanted a piece written for the paper. My column went on the back burner while I called the police chief and got the scoop.
After that, I completed my column and then transcribed a feature story about a set of twins that were adopted shortly after birth. It took them 40 years, but they found their birth mother. I think the story will be a good one.
This evening, I had to cover a city council meeting.
Jilda had dinner ready when I walked in the door. The rain kept me from getting a decent picture today, so I went back to the archives.
This is a restaurant on the river in Tuscaloosa. Great food with a great view.

Sleep well indeed. And thank you for the photo.
ReplyDeleteQuite a day you had ! Hopefully today is a better one! A good nights sleep should help!
ReplyDeleteYour weariness is a good sign. You're busy being who you are...a writer, a story teller, a man with a mission. You can sleep well knowing you've done good this day. I read your previous post and I'm glad you've kept up the blog. It's enjoyed by many folks and I enjoy the photos too. This one fits with the weary..it looks dreamy. Have a good weekend ahead.
ReplyDeleteI am weary just thinking about all you had to write and research. I know all articles are good ones.
ReplyDeleteThere's only so much we can do before we need some sleep!!
ReplyDeleteWell done all around. How many calories does writing burn....?
