Hmm. Not sure why the email version of the Journal didn’t go out yesterday. Thanks to Karen for letting me know.

I went to MailChimp and double checked. It’s supposedly “sending,” but it verified the last one sent was on Wednesday.

Rolled out a little before 2 and was in the Hovel by 2. Followed my usual ritual and found little to nothing for “Of Interest.”

And I got a pleasant surprise. One of my sons knocked on the door of the Hovel at around 3:15.

When I opened the door, all three of my sons were here. Two had been partying in Tombstone a little, and the third drove down from Flagstaff to join them, then they all came here. It’s the best early morning I’ve had in a long time.

They came in and we all visited and laughed for about an hour before they all left and went out to our “guest trailer” to get some sleep.

I took a break soon after that, then came back and wrote around 1200 words. Now at a little after 6 I’m going up to the house for a slightly longer break.

Not sure how much I’ll get done today, especially with all three sons here. Have to visit while I can. (grin)

Well, a broken-down vehicle and some other things, so no more writing today.

Talk with you again tomorrow.
