I’m on the road this week for bidness: Mi’sippi for the first half and Cali for the second. Got off the plane for the layover in Chicago and was met with winter: it was 25 degrees there. Mississippi has 45 degrees and a wind that slices through my fleece jacket. By Friday I’ll be enjoying sun and 70 degrees in Southern California.

The family had a hard time saying goodbye today, and so did I. The last thing I saw was Kelly and Hallie waving goodbye from the front porch. Travis would have been there, too, had he not been still anchored to his booster seat at the table. I used to travel quite a bit at the last job. I actually enjoyed it from time to time. At this point in my life, though, it has lost its appeal. There’s just too much to look forward to when I get home from work every day.

I’m reading Compromised by Terry Reed now. After I got the book from the library, I procrastinated in reading it. Part of me considered it old news. Part of me didn’t want to feed my conspiratorial bent any more than I already do. Still, I needed reading material for my travels so I packed it. Now I can’t put it down! I’ve long suspected Clinton is a Company man, and this book bears that out. How else could you explain his now chummy relationship with George H.W. Bush, who is a Company man himself?

The book also provides some insight into what is going on at Aero Contractors, too.

Off to bed now, as the real fun begins early tomorrow.
