Thumper Thinks Out Loud

Where Did I Leave My Brain?

I’ve got this short story… I started writing it at least 10 years ago, and recently found it on a floppy disk. It was in Word Perfect 5.0 format, so I know it was written when we were last stationed in San Antonio. I cleaned up some crappy looking code out of it, and then sat down to read it—and I remember starting it—but it’s unfinished and I have no idea where I was going with it. And that sucks, because up until the point where I stopped, it’s actually pretty good!

I found a bunch of old unfinished shorts, but most of them are painfully awful. Not even in an amusing sort of way—they just stink. I think I’ll file those under What Was I Thinking??!!?? and leave them there.

This week’s discovery: last minute plane tickets are horrendously expensive, and that really bites.

This week’s reality: finding a way to tell someone that those tickets are much more expensive that the web sites say they are.
