Took a bit of a breather yesterday. My wife and I went down to
Galveston, and after driving around for a while, we found a spot by
the sea wall where we could just sit and look out over the ocean. It
was warm, but the wind was blowing that fine salt spray in our faces,
and I think a small storm was brewing out there too. It's nice to
just sit down every once in a while and do something to remind
yourself that you're on a planet, you're on a ball of earth and stone
with a good amount of water on it's surface, and that ball is
spinning and whirling through an empty, cold void. It puts a lot of
what you have to deal with into perspective.
Tor turned down 'Welcome Home,' and I'm probably going to send them
'Stilling the Demons,' today when I get a couple of other things
done. Stuff keeps piling up faster than I can do it.
During the week, I came up with an idea for my Halloween costume.
Now all I have to do is make it.
Just a minute ago, I watched a vid
on Youtube that showed Felix Baumgartner jumping out of a
balloon that was up so high, when you looked up, you didn't see sky,
you saw space. You could see the
curve of the earth instead of it looking flat. Incredible doesn't
even begin to describe that.
Still writing, and about to get back
to it.
