Day minus three

It's humid again. We seem to go from cold rain to sticky hot, skipping everything in between.

The Vanagon has a new jump-seat cover today. Staring at blank walls for three days can bring out the creative juices. Of course I still haven't washed the van's floor or vacuumed the seats. But there isn't too much creativity in cleaning.

Instead I am sitting here staring at my computer contemplating saying good bye. I will be forced to resort to manual penmanship starting tomorrow evening. Alas, I'll miss my good friend who faithfully lined up my sentences evenly, allowed numerous cut and pastes, and provided that ever helpful spell check icon within easy reach, my old friend that could wipe out blatant grammatical errors almost instantly and utter not a word.

A pen however, is not so forgiving, and whether anyone will be able to read my entries from here on is questionable. I'm a huge fan of arrows, scrunched words and invasion of that ever sacred left margin. Good luck!
