For those who are keeping track, my parents have returned to San Diego. Daily blogging is right out. However, here are a few of the balls in the air coming to rest:
- I have had the Sea World and San Diego Zoo film developed but have not posted shots because the shakes overcame my film. Either my subjects moved or I did and full rolls were lost to the blur. Given my history with vacation photos (bad), I'd blame the camera, but I've had extraordinary luck with this one (a Minolta)... so that reminds me...
- I had my fluids checked after a good day of shaking, but have not heard the results yet. I have no idea how long the processing should take or whether I am supposed to call for results or let the office call me, but I imagine that if it were anything serious there'd be no delay, so I'm willing to wait.
- The Ratmobile was returned with new wiring in short order and is back in service, delivering my mother and I to our daily destinations. A photo of the damage under the hood is one of the few that DID come out, but unless I hear a clamor from otherwise silent readers in the mechanics business, I'll spare you that shot.
- My show closes this weekend after a Sunday matinee complete with post-show strike and a kareoke cast party. An event the following weekend in which I have great interest will keep me here an additional week and then it will be time to wrap things up on the "left coast." After six months here, my things in Nashville -- my apartment, my job, my bed, and my car -- are nearly as foreign to me as this place once seemed. And I do not look at all forward to the heavy, drenching August heat. I'd cling to the bedpost screaming "don't make me go!" but there's this man I've got to see and something about a horse.... Oh, and I'm all out of bedposts.
- And the monthly smoke-free update is due on Saturday, but as I don't expect to post this weekend, allow me to jump the gun: the 16th will mark a full half-year without cigarettes. From my first full day in San Diego to the last performance of my second show here I'll have marked six months exactly. Pretty tidy, that. Particularly without all that ash around.

Time for a new posting, kiddo :)
Kelly! Woohoo, nearly six months. I had no idea you even used to smoke - and sheesh, there I am puffing away around ya' and you're acting as if it were no biggie.
And I must also tell you that Rolling Stone is really Incredible.
