Beth's in Town
The family reunion was a great success and I enjoyed catching up and gathering lots of information from the relatives. Since then I have been inputting it and writing letters. My desk is covered and my goal today was to clear it and clean this room, but I haven't succeeded. Here I am, procratinating on THAT by doing a task I usually procrastinate on.
I had three remotes this week, which is really good money. If I had three every week I could quit all the jobs, including being ON the air, but I guess that would defeat the purpose. And these are always shaky, there may become a dry spell so I can't take them for granted.
My dearest friend has now moved to Austin. I am so pumped about living in the same city as Beth after 17 years of living at least 350 and as much as a couple of thousand miles apart (when she was in Hawaii). She starts grad school at UT next week. Her brother, her sister, and I all expect her to be our constant playmate and companion. We were fighting over her time tonight. I hope I do see her. My friend Jill moved here last fall and we've hardly gotten together as all. But we don't have the long-time connection I have with Beth, and Beth and I have been in constant touch for 20 years, I think we'll get together.
