Summer slowdown

Ah, I always love this time of year! All our winter & springtime work is finished, and it gets SLOW at the bus company. Lots of the drivers, like society in general, live paycheck-to-paycheck, and they fret and worry. But not me, haven't been in that trap in decades. We still have certain bursts of work (ComicCon) ahead, but it's generally slow through August, maybe September. Fine with me!

Hello from Marina del Rey

Hello again! As I said in January, posts were to be few and far between. Currently, I'm on Day 4 of a 4-day trip meaning, yes, I'm headed back home this afternoon. We've been on an LA tour, hitting many of the area's attractions. Today, the ROTC kids (high school ROTC) are off doing a Hollywood tour, in vans chartered from someone here in LA. Makes me happy! Hollywood is NOT "bus friendly". They return here to Marina del Rey, and the cheesy motel we've been staying at, and we head out around 1500 or so. Hit Medieval Times, a dinner theater with audience participation, in Buena Park, near Knott's Berry Farm. Leave there around 2000 for home. I should be actually in my bed by maybe midnight.
The asshole motel on-duty manager wouldn't give me more than 1 extra hour for a late checkout, so I have about 3 hours to burn before the kids return. Guess I'll stroll around Marina del Rey and see if I can find George Strait's girlfriend *grin*.

End of the line?

Wow, it REALLY has been a long time! In fact, I'm thinking this may be my last post. In this world of instant texts, a personal blog seems kind of anachronistic. If this were a forum for political rants or something, it would be different. But no such soapbox here *GRIN*. So, this is probably adios, or at least my updates will only be very infrequent.
