Still wacky
The chaos hasn’t abated yet. Getting ready for the first of the benefits, trying to meet deadlines (one left for Into Art, then I can get to work on the piece for Bloom), trying to squeeze in a planning meeting for the other benefit (the story of how there came to be two benefits is a tale in and of itself). I ought to start packing for New York. Speaking of NYC, the purpose of that trip is a step-grandson’s graduation from the International School of Photography. We were to meet his parents out there, but my step-daughter just had an accute pancreatitis sattack and is in the hospital in Fort Collins, CO, so they won’t be part of the proceedings. Also, we got cell phones and - ostensibly - broadband Internet from Verizon. My learning curve with the phone was fairly free of grim, joyless, ugly moments. Not entirely, mind you, but it was nothing like the damn-it zone into which I’ve been thrust with this broadband business. My Net access on both my desktop and my laptop are down to a crawl. I’ve spent about two hours with tech support - eating up my basic-plan minutes, doncha know -and now my case has been assigned a “trouble ticket” number and referred to the engineering department.
So I have only so much mad left in me for the usual cast of villains against which we rail here at BN.
Don’t give up on me. I’ll come roaring back with a flurry of posts very soon.

Watch the VTs. Vodka time bombs. Pancreatitis ain’t nothing to mess with, for sure. John Archer, Wabash College Alum, circa 1972 or so, and long-time friend of mine from HS and a stint at Manchester College recently died suddenly from it You might have heard of him. He was a Prosecuting Atty in Ft. Wayne, but most people remembered him as the proprieter of a used record store there, before he went to law school. Sigma Nu, if I recall correctly. I wish Pam well with it. Prayers! We never had any probs with Verizon, so I’m sure you’ll get it straightened out. Have fun in the Apple.
