playing catchup

I can't remember what I have done since I last blogged.. To those of you keeping up: THANK YOU

The past few weeks have been a combination of busy and lonely.. Most of the time I was too busy to be lonely or just plain lonely.

After Mark left back to London, I realized that I needed to get in gear if I wanted to accomplish everything I set out to.

But before I could get a three stories out, we were whisked off to New York for the College Media Advisers convention. It was three days of incredible, talented (and some not-so-talented) people sharing their smarts with us. Jackie and I (mischief incarnated) started off very well-behaved the first day until we decided we were in New York city - in the center of it all - Times Square.

We skated in Rockefeller Center, watched stand up at Comic Strip Live, strolled Central Park, bought extremely cheap souvenirs, met strangers on the Subway and went to Staten Island at midnight. We perused the shops and bartered like crazy.. We were the queens of New York City. Everything we wanted - we had.

It was a great trip.. everything we wanted it to be.. Ill post photos when Jickie gets back from New York.

I got some more Texas stories published in Wichita, Abilene and San Angelo. Is it wrong that I don't keep track of them? I just send them away and hope they will get where they need to be.. I also wrote for El Paso Inc this last week in a project that made me want to pull out my hair. I'm pretty excited about the video I got though.. I might make a cool slide show movie to go with it.

Today I went to the National Aquarium.. it was a snore aside from the octopus and the seahorse exhibits..

I miss home.. mostly because my small niece is growing up with out me.

Stay tuned for new videos..
