As far as weeks go, this one has been pretty good, both personally and professionally.
– After some considerable thought, I have decided to make the story I wrote in June, The Demons Inside, the last JLU story I will write. I have a couple of unfinished stories on my computer and they will remain on the machine until the end of the year when I will delete them. I simply don’t have the time to write anymore the way I want to and I am not motivated by anything on TV or elsewhere to drop everything I’m doing and pen something. However, I reserve the right to exercise the Brett Favre clause and come out of retirement to write a drabble or two should the urge hits me as it might do on October 22.
– A home in my neighborhood was recently foreclosed and resold for 20K under current market value. The noise you hear is the screams of hundreds of home owners in the area who suddenly find themselves upside down in their mortgages because of this. Fortunately, I am not one of them, but a couple more sales like that and I could find myself joining that chorus.
– Added 2GB of ram and 500 GB of hard drive storage to my Mediasmart Server on Tuesday. The upgrades were easily done (I was a nervous wreck while doing them) and now the darn machine just zips effortlessly through everything. Have gutted the machine the Mediasmart replaced and took it to the recycling center.
– Hope the economy (and the stock market in particular) has a good week. I have vowed not to look at my 401K until after Thanksgiving. And on that note, I’m done for the day.
