The Journal, Sunday, 6/25

Hey Folks,

Well, the best laid plans, etc.

An unexpected trip popped up for tomorrow morning. We’ll leave here around 6 for a 10-hour turnaround to Flagstaff to pick up Bryan.

Job Corps finally decided they have a slot for him. They called a few days ago (did I tell you that?) while I was in New Mexico.

Originally, Mona was going to drive to Casa Grande (about 3 hours) to meet Roy and drive Bryan back here.

But due to circumstances, Roy can’t do that now, so we’ll drive to Flagstaff to get him. Then on Tuesday, I’ll drive him into Tucson to his new digs at Job Corps.

Today, and Writing

So no writing today. In fact, I’m posting this a little early to keep the posting streak alive. I’ll try to punch in the “Of Interest” section before we leave.

See you tomorrow.
