I was up before 8 this morning,
getting ready and getting the kids ready. I had to leave at 9:30. The kids left
with Bruce to go to Six Flags a few minutes later.
There’s a small local newspaper, a
weekly, in nearby Dunwoody, and they agreed to do a short profile piece on me.
Good PR for the book. I met the reporter at Panera Bread and we chatted for
over an hour. He’s an older guy, retired. Here’s the weird thing. He looks a
little like Robert Mitchum. Maybe a few years younger than my mother. He also
had a Mickey Spillane sort of gruffness. [BTW, Mickey Spillane was a friend of my uncle’s and
live in Myrtle Beach for years.]
I came home and the rest of the day
was really quiet and uneventful. Bruce didn’t get back with the kids until
around 5. The kids said they had a terrific time, rode all the big rides.
Bruce took Alesia and let her drive
this afternoon, all the way down to the shopping center, in 5:00 traffic. They
were gone about 30 minutes. I lost track of time or I would’ve worried. Alesia
was bouncing around like a young colt when she got back. She was so cute. She
said “I only made one mistake!” Bruce told me later she turned and just
stopped, pondering what a beautiful job she did turning. He had to say “Alesia,
you need to GO NO!” – but I am sure he was kind. After spending a year in Iraq,
driving with Alesia is no big deal. I still get a wee bit more nervous, though…
I had the strangest thing happen late this afternoon. I keep the ringer off on my home phone because I just hate answering it. I give everyone my cell number. The landline is tied in with my DSL package though and I hate to give it up. So I check every day or so and see who called and get messages. Today I found a call from a Savannah area code. I don’t know anyone in Savannah. The number is the same as my birthday – month, day, year. Whoa. I think it’s a sign. Who knows….
